Every year the Variety magazine presents its annual collection of the world\u2019s most impactful people working in media. This year bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan are among the 10 Indians who are featured as Variety\u2019s 500 Most Important People in Global Media List.<\/em><\/p>\n Actor Aamir Khan is described by Variety as a \u2018perfectionist.\u2019 It says, “After decades as a hugely popular Bollywood actor-producer-director, the 2018 Khan starrer ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ was a disappointment – but only by his own exalted standards. Budgeted at $32 million, the film grossed $54 million, including $9 million in China. By contrast, his 2016 “Dangal” was India’s all-time highest grosser, earning $310 million, $190 million of it from China. Khan is currently remaking the iconic ‘Forrest Gump’ titled ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ for 2020. The admitted perfectionist burst out in 2001 when his ‘Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India’ was up for the foreign-language Oscar. Since then, his name has been attached to some of India’s biggest hits, including ‘PK’, ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘Dhoom 3’. He was inducted into the Academy in 2017,” read the write-up on Variety’s site.<\/p>\n
