Rajkumar Hirani calls Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan 'hardworking'
In an exclusive interaction with Pinkvilla, Himesh Mankad, the interviewer asked Rajkumar Hirani to draw similarities between Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. The director worked with them in Dunki, PK, and 3 Idiots.
Hirani shared, "Similarities, both are hardworking. Both are very very committed to the jobs, both are very very committed to the films. Processes might be different so every actor will come with a different process of working. Somebody will be impromptu, somebody will put in a lot of effort in discussions earlier and all those kinda things."
He further added, "So styles might differ but I don't think the commitment or integration to the project is any less or any different. Every actor will differ so I don't think there are differences in that at all."

About PK and 3 Idiots
PK starring Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, and others was released in 2014.

He raises several thought-provoking questions over time learning from his very bizarre and new experiences and observations.
On the other hand, 3 Idiots is adapted loosely from Chetan Bhagat's novel Five Point Someone. The film stars Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi in the titular roles, marking their reunion three years after Rang De Basanti (2006), while Kareena Kapoor Khan, Omi Vaidya and Boman Irani appear in pivotal roles.
Narrated through two parallel dramas, one in the present and the other ten years in the past, the story follows the friendship of three students in an Indian engineering college and is a satire on the social pressures on the Indian education system. The film was released in 2009.
