Aamir said that Sunil is not only a mimic but also a “wonderful actor.” “You know, I’m getting asked that so often nowadays, but I have to say that Sunil is so, so talented. And I really enjoy watching him. He’s not just a mimic, he’s a wonderful actor as well. He doesn’t just mimic your gestures or your voice, Sunil goes a step further,” he said.

“He understands how you think and how you would have responded to something in words or actions. So he really goes deep into that. And I’ve seen him doing me, of course, he does Salman really well. He does a number of actors really well. So he’s a huge talent. And that last show on Kapil’s, my God, I was in splits. He’s really amazing,” Aamir added.
