When speaking to a news portal about Big B's role, Aamir Khan revealed that Amitabh Bachchan's film Black did not show any sympathy for the handicapped person. Khan also pointed out that the touch of sensibility did not strike the right chord. Moreover, he was unable to figure, if the characters in the film were living in a house, museum, library or a church.
