Aamir Khan follows his heart and avoids formulaic routes, focusing on projects he truly believes in.

He also believes early challenges, like the failure of his son Junaid's film, are valuable learning experiences.
Aamir Khan says he won't do a guaranteed Rs 10,000 crore film: 'It won't interest me'
Aamir Khan is called a perfectionist, but the actor has never gone by the formulaic route. Infact, Aamir has revealed yet again in a recent interview that he has only followed his heart and not gone by any rule or what's working. The actor admitted that people have never really understood his choices in life but he has always done what his heart said.
Opening up on his choices and the stereotypes which exist today, Aamir said during a chat with Just Too Filmy, “I am not interested in second screen viewing. In today’s date, people think, ‘What should be make for theatres’, because they believe people only watch action in theatres. That if there is no big screen spectacle, I don’t have to watch it on big screen, I can also watch it in my phone or television. So these are the questions we will have to answer for ourselves.”
Aamir further added that he's made movies that he believed in and if that wasn't the case then he would not have made movies like 'Lagaan' and 'Rang De Basanti'. Thus, he doesn't really follow trends. "Whatever doesn’t excite me, even if someone tells me it is a tried and tested concept and will go on to earn Rs 10,000 crore, I won’t make it. I won’t be able to make it because I won’t be interested in it," he said.
The 'Dil Chahta Hai' actor also revealed that people started calling him a perfectionist just because they did not understand his choices and couldn't figure out his patterns.
While talking about the box office, in another interview with Instant Bollywood, Aamir also opened up on the failure of his son Junaid Khan's film. He said, "Accha hua (It’s good that it happened)." thus adding that early challenges are good to shape up a person and learn. He said, “I think he’s doing well, and he will continue to learn."
