Big B Aamir Khan war of words is heating up everyday. Aamir in a recent media interview panned director Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his handling of the film Black terming it 'insensitive and manipulative.' He also termed the performances of the actors 'over the top'.

The criticism did not go down well with Amitabh Bachchan. In an interview with a tabloid he was asked what he thought about Aamir's 'over the top' remark.

"I cannot comment whether my performance was towering or not, but Aamir may be right on the other maybe the performances did go 'over the top' of his head!" Amitabh responded.

In his response to Bachchan's outburst, Aamir Khan posted a blog entry that was calm and matter of fact.

"I have the highest regard for Mr Bachchan and I am very big fan of his work. Probably one of the biggest. I believe that he along with Mr Dilip Kumar are among my two favourite actors of Indian Cimema.

I have no hesitation in saying that I don''t even feature on the same platform as an actor. He is also in my opinion THE biggest star that Indian Cinema has ever seen."

Putting his comments on Black in perspective Aamir continues,

"My big exception towards Black is the fact that a child with severe difficulties is shown being ill treated instead of being treated with love, care and understanding. I simply cannot come to terms with that no matter what the writer and director say in defence."
