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 the mainstream cinema.

"Because of this, today there are so many different movies like 'Pink', 'Neerja' and 'Kapoor & Sons' being made."

The honcho of Dharma Production said the 51-year-old actor is the most intelligent artist of India.
