Expect the unexpected when it comes to Aamir Khan! The actor who's one of the most bankable stars of recent times is known for his innovative subjects and the way he handles his every character. He's a master of disguise and his attempts are usually whistle-worthy unless he tries something as Thugs of Hindostan of course. And while the actor was in news for working on his dream project, Mahabharat, seems like another big idea was brewing in his mind.
