"I will give full credit to Salman (for the craze around 'Dhoom 3'). I was talking to him sometime back and told him that 'You have completely embarrassed me and please what are you doing," the 48-year-old said here Thursday at a press meet.
"He said, 'Let me do what I am doing'. But that is his love and affection and I hope I can also do something for him and I definitely will," he added.
Aamir is eagerly waiting for Salman-starrer "Jai Ho". He believes his "Andaz Apna Apna" co-actor has grown as an actor in the past few years.
"I am sure that 'Jai Ho' will be a brilliant film. Whenever there is a Salman Khan-film we all wait for it eagerly, even I! I am also a big fan of his like you all. This is true that as an audience, I can say that his work has improved in the past three to four years," Aamir said.
"I loved 'Dabangg' and I feel happy. I think he is growing as an actor and I am really waiting to see 'Jai Ho'. The title is also very good," he added.
Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, "Dhoom 3" also stars Katrina Kaif, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra. It hit theatres Friday.
