It’s not every day that a superstar like Aamir Khan heaps praise on another actor, but when he does, everyone takes notice. In a recent podcast, Bollywood’s “Mr. Perfectionist” was asked who he thought could play the iconic role of Bhuvan from his classic film Lagaan if it were remade today. His answer was quick and clear: Vicky Kaushal.
The compliment from the veteran actor has created a buzz online, and Vicky Kaushal himself has responded to the high praise with a humble and heartwarming message.
Aamir Khan On Why Vicky Is The Perfect Bhuvan
Speaking on Komal Nahta’s podcast, Aamir Khan explained exactly why he felt Vicky was the right fit for the beloved character. “Vicky Kaushal, I think he has that quality of Bhuvan – dignity, strength, inner strength, steadiness, and integrity,” Aamir said. “He reflects all of that very naturally. He is a great actor.”
This compliment is a huge nod to Vicky’s talent, as the character of Bhuvan is one of the most memorable and respected roles in modern Hindi cinema. For the original actor to see those same qualities in a contemporary star is a massive honour.
Vicky Kaushal’s Humble Response
Clearly moved by the kind words, Vicky Kaushal took to his Instagram story to share his gratitude. Instead of simply accepting the praise, he showed his respect for the original performance. Vicky wrote, “There can be no other ‘Bhuvan’ than Aamir Sir…but such an honour to get such kind words from the master himself.” His reply has been widely appreciated by fans, who are praising his humility.
The sweet exchange shows the mutual admiration and respect between the two actors, representing the best of the film industry.

He also acknowledged the audience’s emotional connection to the idea, saying all three Khans respect that sentiment.
