Khan gives up acting for 2010

Aamir Khan has decided to give up acting for a year in order to concentrate on producing.

The Ghajini actor will work on the post-production of Delhi Belly, The Falling and his wife Kiran Rao's directorial debut Dhobi Ghat.

Khan was reportedly so busy with promoting his most recent film 3 Idiots that he felt he was failing his own company, Aamir Khan Productions.

A source told New Kerala: "It requires guts to say no to the best roles going in Bollywood and to a reported fee of approximately Rs.30 crore [$7 million] per film.

"Aamir suffers no security pangs about not signing films. He told a friend he will work at his own pace, no matter what the temptation or provocation to take on extra work."

Khan initially set up his production company solely in order to make the film Lagaan, which was then nominated for an Oscar.
