During his recent interview with Zoom, the actor shared, “It was a fantastic experience for me because I got to sit opposite him all day long. This is Aamir Khan, not just another actor you meet.”
Talking about Aamir's perfectionist side, Jason shared an incident from the set when he kept on asking for another shot until he got the perfect shot.
He said, “It was wonderful to see him so immersed in his character. I don’t think I was in his space. He was just miles away from everyone. And his perfectionist side… I remember this one shot: I was looking through an eyeglass and he kept asking the director for one more retake. Even though the director said, ‘I think we got the shot,’ he kept asking for ‘one more’. Aamir being Aamir."
Shah has also worked with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and actress Katrina Kaif, among others.
In another interview with Entertainment Live, Shah shared it was after working with Salman that he decided to pursue acting.
Recalling his brief time with Khan on the movie Partner, he shared, ''I started modelling when I was 17–18. I did a small scene in the song 'Dupatta Tera Nau Rang Da' in Partner. That’s where I was bitten by the acting bug. I wanted to live this amazing life.”
The actor added that Salman Khan arrived on set at 3 in the afternoon on his motorbike and nobody was doing any work. At 4:30, the producer requested him for just one shot. "I loved it. It looked like a relaxed life.”
