Filmmaker Karan Johar says that superstar Aamir Khan is a game changer and has given a new aspect to the mainstream cinema by choosing unique subjects for his films.

Speaking at the success party of "Dangal" on Saturday night, Karan said: "The kind of subjects he (Aamir Khan) chooses, whether it is 'Taare Zaamen Par', 'Rang De Basanti', 'Lagaan', 'Dil Chahta Hai' or 'Dangal', he has given a new aspect to the mainstream cinema.

"Because of this, today there are so many different movies like 'Pink', 'Neerja' and 'Kapoor & Sons' being made."

The honcho of Dharma Production said the 51-year-old actor is the most intelligent artist of India.

"'Dangal' is a complete Hindustani film...The way the film has been presented is outstanding and has emotionally touched everyone's heart. I don't think there has been a better film in the last decade than 'Dangal'," said Karan.
