During media interaction, 3 Idiots star reacted to same and said, “Woh trailer mein aha dikhta hai na?  trailer is of 2 minutes, and our film is 2.30 hours long.

Aap film dekh lijiye… mujhe umeed hai ki aap disappointed nahi honge (If I spoke perfect Punjabi, ors might not understand, even if you do. You watch film. I’m sure you would not be disappointed).”

Before jumping to any conclusion, actor reacted to disappointment and revealed that re is one similarity between both characters and that is innocence.

Speaking to media, as quoted by Pinkvilla, Aamir said,

“I think you all should watch film and n decide. I will tell you why, because re is one similarity between Laal and PK and that is innocence. Laal is innocent and so is PK. This is a very strong quality that both of m possess. So, in trailer, you might not be able to see difference which you will see in whole performance. Toh jab aap Laal ka poora performance dekhenge toh I am hoping ki dono characters aapko bohot innocent lagein but woh aapko alag kirdar lagega. Woh aapko PK nahi lagega, mere hisab se. (When you will watch film, I am hoping that you spot same innocence in PK and Laal but you realise y are two different characters. As per me, you won't feel it's PK)."
