Film-maker Karan Johar says that superstar Aamir Khan is a game changer and has given a new aspect to the mainstream cinema by choosing unique subjects for his films.


Speaking at the success party of Dangal on Saturday night, Karan said, "The kind of subjects he (Aamir Khan) chooses, whether it is Taare Zaamen Par, Rang De Basanti, Lagaan, Dil Chahta Hai or Dangal, he has given a new aspect to mainstream cinema. Because of this, today, there are so many different movies like Pink, Neerja and Kapoor & Sons being made."

Karan continued, "Dangal is a complete Hindustani film...The way the film has been presented is outstanding and has emotionally touched everyone's heart. I don't think there has been a better film in the last decade than Dangal."
