"It is sad that this is his last film and that he is not with us here today. We will miss him. I pray this film achieves huge success and breaks all records of his previous movies," Aamir told reporters here last evening.
"Yashji was an institution in himself in the industry. I don't think anyone can make romantic films the way Yashji did," he said.
Jab Tak Hai Jaan, a romantic drama, stars Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in the lead. The film opens in cinema houses today.
"It is a bitter sweet moment that he is not with us today. I am waiting to see the film," Aamir said.
