<p>Conceding that he has undergone a "transformation" from being a reserved person to more open now, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan attributed the change to his wife and filmmaker Kiran Rao.<br /><br /></p>.<p>"..Not three years, even more. But your observation is correct.. transformation has happened. I feel it is because of Kiran ji. Her influence on me is very bright. Her energy is bright. So, a change has come in me as well," Aamir said here at a press conference today in connection with his upcoming film 'PK'.<br /><br />Talking about his character in 'PK', which has been kept under wraps for quite sometime now, Aamir, 49, said his character in the film is "innocent and a bit strange", who speaks Bhojpuri.<br /><br />"It is not a satire. It's a drama. The vehicle of narration is humour," he said.<br />Asked about the controversy over the first poster of the film in which he was seen almost nude with a transistor, Aamir said it was about capturing a key moment or essence of the story.<br /><br />"Many people liked it. Some people felt that clothes were not worn. It is a natural reaction. But we have to be truthful with the story. When we show the first poster, it is important that it captures the film, its essence," he said.<br /><br />The '3-Idiots' star, however, said 'PK' is a universal film that can be watched by all.<br />Asked about issue of lack of unity among filmmakers in Bollywood, he said it is unfortunate that filmmakers have not been able to work as a unit. <br /><br />"We have been facing this for many years. I don't know why.. we have not been able to work as a unit. It is unfortunate. In every field, you see there are labour unions, there are press associations. A community, it remains together, benefits all. Hopefully, we will work towards that. I hear that producers are united in the South (Southern film industry)," he said.<br /><br />Responding to a query, Aamir disapproved tendency of some quarters of inflating box-office figures of a film.<br /><br />"I think we should stop thinking about figures. Because if a creative person does a film keeping figures in mind, then the choice of films becomes narrow. A creative person should never think of numbers," he said.<br /><br />Producer of 'PK', Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who had earlier teamed with Aamir in '3-Idiots', said that his company shares independent box office collections openly.<br /><br />On the trend of remakes of south Indian films, Bollywood's 'perfectionist' said filmmakers from Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam film industries are coming up with some "unusual stuff".<br /><br />He described ace Telugu director S S Rajamouli, who gave hits like 'Magadheera', 'Maryada Ramanna' and 'Eega' ('Makkhi' in Hindi), as a very talented director and said he would like to work with him, if there is an opportunity.<br /><br />Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, 'PK' also stars actors Sanjay Dutt, Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput and is slated to release on December 19.</p>
