I am very happy and proud to be part of this film.I am glad Revathy gave me that opportunity.”

Coming to Aamir, in an earlier public appearance, he announced that he would take a sabbatical after the failure of his film, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. “I feel I have been working for 35 years and I have single-mindedly been focused on my work. I feel that it’s not fair to people who are close to me. This is the time I feel I have to take some time off to be with them, and actually experience life in a different way. I am looking forward to the next year, year-and-a-half in which I am not working as an actor,” he had said.
