Hyderabad, Jan 14: Amitabh Bachchan is often called the living legend of Bollywood and Indian cinema, not only by the audience but even by the film fraternity. So when Aamir Khan was all in praise for Amit ji it was not so surprising for us, since Mr Bachchan’s acting skills and performance have set a benchmark in the film industry. Aamir says he can never compete with the megastar.

Aamir respects Amitabh a lot and says he can never be like Mr Bachchan. Mr Perfectionist feels, Amit ji is far ahead and he cant be competed with. The superstar who was recently seen in “Taalash” says he is not even nearby Amit ji when it comes to performance. He was in an event recently where he was chosen along with Amitabh Bachchan to compete against each other to grab the title of TV show’s icon.

But the 47 years old superstar could not make it to the final three. And the current contenders for the title are Mr Bachchan, cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, and Narendra Modi, the chief minister of Gujarat. Khan starred in Reema Kagti’s film “Taalash” opposite Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor. He played the role of a cop. But unlike his previous releases, the 2012 release was not an absolute success.
