‘We’re All Human’: Aamir Khan Admits He Misjudged Salman Khan

June 29, 2025, 3:28 pm

Aamir Khan recently shared a heartfelt story about how his friendship with Salman Khan truly began—not on the sets of Andaz Apna Apna as many might think, but during one of the most emotionally difficult periods of his life.

Speaking to The Lallantop, Aamir said he became close to Salman only after his separation from his first wife Reena Dutta in 2001. He described those days as a time filled with loneliness and emotional pain, where he would drink heavily and avoid social contact.

Aamir Khan Recalls Bonding with Salman During Dark Phase

“I used to sit alone and not meet anyone back then. Like Juhi (Chawla) visited me, Salman Khan also paid a visit. I don’t remember how it happened, but he came to my home for a meal. We chatted for hours. I had a heart-to-heart conversation with him since I was going through depression then. He also shared a lot with me. That’s when we began bonding as friends,” Aamir said.

From Misunderstanding to Lifelong Bond

Aamir admitted he wasn’t always fond of Salman Khan. Back in 1994, when they worked together in Andaz Apna Apna, Aamir was annoyed with Salman’s constant late arrivals.

“He used to never come to set on time and things wouldn’t go as planned. So I thought maybe we can’t be friends,” Aamir recalled. But he later realized he had been too harsh in his judgment. “When I met him in 2001-02 and we got chatting, that’s when I realized we’re all humans and make mistakes… one shouldn’t be so judgemental.”

Talking about comparisons among the three Khans, Aamir explained, “The comparison is legit. It happens in every field, whether it’s cricket or films. People at the top are often compared to each other. I get why that happens.”

Aamir also shared a funny moment about how fans rarely gather outside his home unlike at Salman’s or Shah Rukh Khan’s residences. “One day, I saw a crowd outside the building and thought finally, a crowd has come to see me… before I learnt they were there for Tiger Shroff,” he said, laughing.

‘I Was Trying to Kill Myself’, Aamir Khan Opens Up on Divorce from Reena Dutta

June 29, 2025, 12:06 pm

Aamir Khan recently spoke about his heartbreaking split from his first wife, Reena Dutta. Speaking candidly in a recent chat with The Lallantop, Aamir shared how their 2002 separation didn’t just end a marriage, it shattered him emotionally. It spiralled him into depression and a battle with alcohol he couldn’t control.

“When Reena and I separated, that evening I finished an entire bottle of alcohol, and for the next 1.5 years I drank every day. I never slept. Mai behosh hojata tha daaru peeke (I would lose consciousness due to heavy drinking). I was trying to kill myself,” Aamir confessed.

Aamir Khan Struggled with Alcohol Following Divorce

Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta’s love story began as teenage neighbours. The two often watched each other from their windows and eventually fell in love. Aamir Khan, smitten, once wrote a love letter in his own blood—a move that failed to impress Reena Dutta at the time.

Still, the couple secretly tied the knot and welcomed two children, Junaid and Ira. Reena Dutta even made a brief appearance in his debut film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak.

Recalls Irony of Being Called ‘Man of the Year’

The divorce took a heavy toll on Aamir Khan’s mental health. He stopped working, avoided social contact, and lived in isolation. “I was not even working then. Neither did I care to meet anybody,” he said. Ironically, during that period, his film Lagaan released and a publication named him ‘Man of the Year.’ “I found it very ironical,” Aamir noted. With tears in his eyes, he sang lines from the song “Aapki Yaad Aati Rahi Raat Bhar” from the 1978 film Gaman, expressing his heartbreak.

Aamir Khan once told on Koffee with Karan, “Reena and I were married for 16 long years. When we split up, it was traumatic for us and our families… Reena and I did not lose love or respect for each other.”

After their divorce, Aamir married Kiran Rao in 2005. They had a son, Azad, before separating in 2021. He is currently dating longtime friend Gauri Spratt and remains on good terms with both ex-wives, co-parenting their children.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Day 1: Aamir Khan’s Film Stumbles with ₹11 Crore Opening

June 20, 2025, 10:16 pm

Much was expected from Aamir Khan’s return to the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par, following the poor performance of Laal Singh Chadha. Can the RS Prasanna film help restore Aamir Khan’s mojo at the box office? According to the latest report on Saclink.com, the sports drama movie has had a slow start, just over ₹10 crore.

Slow Start at the Box Office on Day 1 for Sitaare Zameen Par

According to the report, Sitaare Zameen Par’s opening day collection was ₹11.05 crore (at 9 pm). The overall Hindi Occupancy of the film on Friday was 17.73%. The morning shows had an occupancy of 16.74%, and remained constant for the afternoon shows too at 16.25%. The evening shows saw a slight increase in the number at 20.21%.

Will Sitaare Zameen Par’s first-day collection be able to beat Aamir‘s previous release Laal Singh Chadha’s figures? The 2022 film had minted ₹11.7 crore on the first day of release. We have to wait for a couple of hours to know.

A New Take on Taare Zameen Par with Fresh Faces

A spiritual follow-up to 2007’s smash hit Taare Zameen Par, Sitaare Zameen Par has been directed by RS Prasanna. The movie features 10 fresh faces–Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. The movie is a remake of the Spanish film Campeones.

A Heartfelt Response from Early Reviews

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “Overall, Sitaare Zameen Par is a heartfelt product, meant to be experienced in a packed theatre. The collective laughter, the silent sniffles, and more, enhance the film’s impact. It may not shine as brightly as its predecessor, but these Sitaare light up the screen in their own beautiful way.”

Kajol Declares Salman Khan’s Stardom Beyond Comparison

June 18, 2025, 2:11 am

Bollywood actress Kajol is one of the few actresses who have collaborated with all three Khans Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir. In a recent interview to Galatta India, she looked back at the unique characteristics of each of them and talked about Salman Khan’s unparalleled star power.

Praises for Shah Rukh and Aamir’s Professionalism

Kajol heaped praise on Shah Rukh and Aamir’s professionalism, stating that both of them deserved all the trophies when it comes to dedication, as they are very, very serious about their craft and discipline. However, while talking about their work. Kajol said, “Salman is Salman Khan. You can’t argue with that. He’s remained the same over the years, and that in itself is incredible. Even Aamir once said, ‘Salman is definitely a bigger star than me, because no matter how his film performs, it still manages to cross ₹100 crore. And his fans adore him like crazy.’”

Kajol on Star Power Debate Between Salman and Akshay

When informed that Akshay Kumar has matched Salman in terms of box office with 18 films crossing the ₹100 crore mark, Kajol said, “Wow, that’s amazing! But when we talk about sheer star power, I think even Akshay would agree you just can’t touch Salman’s star power.”

Salman and Kajol have shared screen space in movies like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, and Karan Arjun. Their on-screen presence in Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya particularly won over the hearts of viewers.

Upcoming Projects of Kajol and Salman

Kajol will be the star of Vishal Furia’s mythological horror movie called Maa. Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma co-star in the movie. Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande are the producers of the movie, and it is planned for release in the theaters on 27 June. Salman, in contrast, was recently seen in Sikandar and will be next spotted in an action movie with Sanjay Dutt. He has also got Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kick 2 lined up.

Aamir Khan on Turkey: ‘Didn’t Expect Betrayal’

June 15, 2025, 2:59 pm

Aamir Khan has responded to heavy criticism over an old photo of him with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which resurfaced online after Turkey backed Pakistan following India’s recent military action under Operation Sindoor.

In an interview, Aamir clarified that the photo in question was taken in 2017, during a visit to Turkey when India was helping the country recover from an earthquake. “A few years ago, there was an earthquake in Turkey. The Indian government was the first to help them then,” he explained. “Our government was also supporting Turkey at that time.”

Aamir Khan: “I Was Acting as India’s Ambassador”

Aamir added, “Turkey did a very wrong thing, and every Indian has been hurt by that.” Addressing the current outrage, he said, “Even our government didn’t know, just like I didn’t when I went to meet Erdogan, that they’d do this to us seven years later. We extended our hand in friendship and helped them during a crisis, and this is what they do to us?”

A photo of Aamir with Erdogan’s wife, Emine Erdogan, has also gone viral and is widely believed to have been taken in 2020. However, Aamir claims it predates even his 2017 visit. He emphasized that as a public figure, he was representing India abroad. “As a celebrity and actor, I’m an ambassador of the country when I visit another nation. So if someone invites me for a tea, saying no doesn’t feel right.”

Calls for Turkey Boycott Grow After Pakistan Support

Despite defending his past visit, Aamir said he now supports the boycott of Turkish goods and tourism. “They did a very right thing. We shouldn’t support Turkey at all. They’re supporting Pakistan during our conflict despite us having helped them. How is that fair?”

Tensions between India and Turkey escalated after Turkey and Azerbaijan backed Pakistan and condemned India’s strikes on terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. India retaliated under Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7 after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Turkish drones were reportedly used by Pakistan during the failed offensive.

Following the diplomatic fallout, Indian platforms like EaseMyTrip and Ixigo advised against travel to Turkey and Azerbaijan. Traders have also begun boycotting Turkish imports, including apples and marble.

Aamir Khan: ‘PK Didn’t Mock Religion or Promote Love Jihad’

June 15, 2025, 1:33 pm

In a recent interview, Aamir Khan addressed ongoing backlash regarding his 2014 hit PK. The film, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, has faced criticism for allegedly mocking religion and promoting “love jihad.” Aamir strongly denied these allegations and clarified the film’s real intent.

“They’re wrong. We’re not against any religion. We respect all religions and all religious people,” Aamir stated. “That film just tells us to be cautious of those who exploit religion to fool the common man in order to extract money from them. You’ll find people like that in every religion. That was the film’s only purpose.”

‘This Is Humanity, Not Love Jihad’: Aamir Khan On Interfaith Marriage

Aamir responded to criticism over a scene in PK showing a Hindu woman (Anushka Sharma) falling in love with a Pakistani Muslim man (Sushant Singh Rajput). He dismissed the “love jihad” narrative, saying, “When people from two religions fall in love and get married, that’s not always love jihad. This is just humanity. It’s above religion.”

He emphasized his own family’s diversity, noting his two Hindu wives—Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao—and how his sisters and daughter have also married Hindu men. “My sisters and daughter have married Hindus. Is that love jihad too?” he asked.

When questioned why his children have Muslim names, Aamir responded, “My kids have been named by my wives. There wasn’t any interference from my end. Husbands ki zyada chalti nahi hai.” He added, “Ira is another name for (goddess) Saraswati… Reena named her that.” He said Kiran named their son Azad after freedom fighter Maulana Azad. “Azad isn’t a Muslim name… Haven’t you heard of Chandrashekhar Azad?”

A Proud Muslim, A Proud Indian

Aamir stressed that he is proud to be both Muslim and Indian. “I’m very proud I’m a Muslim. I’m also proud I’m a Hindustani. Both of these statements are true,” he said. He added that the trolling he receives from all sides proves he’s doing the right thing.

Citing his work in Satyamev Jayate and Secret Superstar, Aamir pointed out that his efforts have always aimed to address social issues beyond religious lines. “There’s nothing like that (bias)… Secret Superstar was about a Muslim family, but it tackled issues that affect everyone.”

Aamir Khan Says He Rejected Swades for Being ‘Boring’, Still Hasn’t Watched the Film

June 12, 2025, 2:45 pm

Aamir Khan, who collaborated with Ashutosh Gowariker in the Oscar-nominated film Lagaan, has revealed that he turned down Swades after finding the script “boring.” In a recent interview with Zoom, Aamir shared that the director had initially narrated the story to him during the making of Lagaan, when the project was tentatively titled Kaveri Amma.

Aamir Rejected Swades During Lagaan Shoot

“He narrated the story when we were doing Lagaan,” Aamir said. “It was a three-hour-long narration. When he asked how I liked it, I said I got bored. I told him that while the thought behind the story was noble and what he was trying to convey was important, the way he presented it didn’t engage me. I got bored.”

Swades, which eventually starred Shah Rukh Khan as Mohan Bhargava, centers around an NRI returning to India and working for rural development. The film has since achieved cult status and is widely regarded as one of Shah Rukh’s finest performances.

‘Maine ab tak dekhi nahi hai Swades’

Aamir candidly admitted that he still hasn’t watched Swades. “Actually, maine ab tak film dekhi nahi hain Swades. Toh shayad usne correct kiya hoga… Logo ko Shah Rukh ka kaam khaas pasand aya tha maine ye note kiya tha,” he said. (“I haven’t watched the film yet. Maybe he corrected it. I noticed that people really liked Shah Rukh’s performance.”)

While Aamir chose not to be a part of the film, his comments reflected a genuine critique and honest feedback to his former collaborator.

Aamir’s Next Film: Sitaare Zameen Par

Meanwhile, Aamir is set to return to the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par, a remake of the Spanish film Campeones. Directed by RS Prasanna, the movie is scheduled for release on June 20.

Despite his decision to walk away from Swades, Aamir remains one of Bollywood’s most selective and impactful actors. His honesty about career choices offers fans a rare glimpse into the thought processes behind major film decisions.

‘Age Is Not a Barrier’: Aamir Khan on Pairing with Genelia D’Souza

June 9, 2025, 4:12 pm

Aamir Khan will soon return to the big screen in Sitaare Zameen Par, where he stars opposite Genelia D’Souza. This is the first time the two are working together. However, their 23-year age gap has become a major talking point online.

While Aamir is 60 years old, Genelia is 37. Interestingly, she once starred with Aamir’s nephew, Imran Khan, in the 2008 film Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. As a result, fans questioned this new pairing.

Aamir Addresses the Age Gap

In a conversation with Indian Express, Aamir admitted he had thought about the age gap. However, he pointed out that both actors play characters in their early 40s in the film.

He said, “That thought did come to me, but in the film, we’re both playing characters in the age group of early 40s. She’s around that age. I’m 60, but in today’s day and age, we have the advantage of VFX.”

VFX Makes Age Just a Number

Aamir explained that technology now allows actors to play a wide range of ages. He gave an example from the past.

“Earlier, if I played an 18-year-old, I had to rely on prosthetic. Like Anil Kapoor did in Eeshwar (1989). He was very young, but he played an 80-year-old for Christ’s sake. He was jumping his age, which is very exciting for an actor,” Aamir said.

He added, “Today, he can be made to look 80 and vice-versa via VFX. So, age is not a barrier for actors anymore.”

Film Set for 2025 Release

Sitaare Zameen Par will hit theatres on June 20, 2025. It will be Aamir’s first film in cinemas since Laal Singh Chaddha, which released in 2022 but failed at the box office.

This new film marks a fresh start for the actor, who hopes to win back his audience with a unique story and a surprising pairing.

Imran Khan Recalls Delhi Belly’s First Screening: “They Called It Disgusting”

June 6, 2025, 4:03 pm

Actor Imran Khan recently opened up about the harsh criticism that followed Delhi Belly’s initial private screening and how Aamir Khan stood by the movie in the face of it. In an interview, Imran revealed that the first cut was seen at Aamir Khan’s office by a small group of people, including himself, writer Akshat Verma, director Abhinay Deo, and members of Aamir’s inner circle.

One of Aamir’s close family friends had a strong reaction after the screening, allegedly saying, “Aamir, what have you done? What did you create? The same individual said, “Tu iska career barbaad kar dega” (You’ll ruin his career) while pointing to Imran.

“Your Name Will Be Destroyed”

Things got more intense when even Aamir’s security guard chimed in with criticism. “Sir, aaj tak aapne jo bhi naam kamaya hai, mitti mein mil jayega sab. Agar aap iss picture ko release karenge, aapka naam mitti mein mil jayega,” Imran quoted him saying.

According to Imran, the room was filled with negativity, with people describing the movie as “offensive, obscene, ugly, disgusting.” The general advice was: “Burn the negative. Don’t let anybody find out that you have made this film.”

Aamir Khan Did Not Flinch

Imran Khan admitted that both he and writer Akshat Verma were shaken. “We actually fell ill for two days,” he said. Despite the harsh feedback, Aamir remained calm. “He didn’t flinch,” Imran said. “He told us, ‘No, it is correct. You guys have shot the right film… the problem is only the edit.” The team went back, re-edited the film, and eventually released it.

Delhi Belly later gained cult status and is remembered for its bold humour and style. It eventually garnered praise for its talented cast, and Aamir Khan was also lauded for showing urban realism and for producing a film which was gritty, grimy, and unglamorous, a sharp contrast to glossy, larger-than-life aesthetics typical of mainstream Bollywood.

Aamir Khan is also widely respected for being brave enough to stick by this film, which he knew would receive backlash from mainstream audiences. It is one of the many reasons why his love for the craft of film can never be doubted.

Aamir Khan Teams Up with Lokesh Kanagaraj for Superhero Spectacle

June 5, 2025, 5:23 pm

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has confirmed an exciting new collaboration with renowned Tamil filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj for a high-octane superhero film. The project is expected to hit the theaters in the second half of 2025. Speaking to PTI, Aamir revealed, “Lokesh and I are working on a film. It is a superhero film, a big-scale action film and it will start next year, second half.”

Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has made a mark in Tamil cinema with critically acclaimed blockbusters like Vikram, Leo, Kaithi, and Master, is known for his gritty storytelling and dynamic action sequences. This collaboration marks a significant crossover between Bollywood and Tamil cinema and is already generating considerable buzz.

PK 2 Not Happening, Confirms Aamir

Aamir also put to rest speculation around a possible sequel to his 2014 satirical hit PK. Denying the rumours, he said, “PK 2 is a rumour. I’m doing the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic with Raju (Rajkumar Hirani), and we are working on it.” The biopic will celebrate the life and legacy of Dadasaheb Phalke, considered the father of Indian cinema.

The actor also opened up about his dream project, Mahabharata. Calling it his most ambitious venture, he said, “It’s not a film, when you’re making Mahabharata, you’re surrendering.” He explained that he is still in the early stages of laying a solid foundation for the project and will only speak further once there is more clarity.

Aamir Suggests Potential Sequels

Reflecting on sequels from his past work, Aamir mentioned that 3 Idiots, Dil Chahta Hai, and Sarfarosh have strong sequel potential. For Dil Chahta Hai, he suggested an intriguing theme where the three friends, now facing mid-life crises, are in therapy — a modern, relatable twist.

Meanwhile, Aamir’s next film Sitaare Zameen Par is slated for release on June 20. With a strong lineup of projects ranging from biopics to action spectacles, Khan’s return to the big screen is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated phases of his career.

Aamir Khan Breaks Silence on ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ Backlash: ‘Shakespeare Gets Praise, But We Get Trolled?’

June 4, 2025, 1:19 pm

Aamir Khan boldly defends his film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, calling out the remake criticism as unjust and promoting Down Syndrome awareness.

In his very heated response to the criticism and backlash against the remake remarks, Aamir Khan draws parallels between all the film adaptations and Shakespeare’s plays. As he makes a comeback with ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, Khan is ready to challenge the stigma that surrounds Down Syndrome through laughter, heart, and cinematic storytelling.

Aamir Khan Hits Back at Remake Critics

Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist has publicly spoken and he’s not holding back. Aamir Khan, who is about to make his big-screen comeback with ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, has strongly defended the film amid rising criticism that it is a copy of the Spanish smash ‘Campeones’.

Khan appeared on Raj Shamani’s podcast and addressed the negative reactions to his latest project as well as his 2022 film Laal Singh Chaddha, which was an official remake of Forrest Gump. He said, “After ‘Laal Singh (Chaddha)’, a lot of people told me, ‘you are making a remake again’. ‘Laal Singh’ was trolled heavily for being a remake. But I am a different kind of person. I don’t understand practical things. I don’t have any problem with a remake, and I don’t feel my creativity is diminishing at all. For me, it is new work. Someone else made this story, and I am giving it my perspective.”

He went on to compare the film remake culture to the reverence that William Shakespeare’s plays continue to get in theatres all over the world. “People still do Shakespeare to this day. Even today, the number one playwright in theatre is Shakespeare, worldwide. Even today, his plays are adapted in every language. And we praise it. Kyun bhai? Remake hai, usko band karo (Why though? It’s a remake, shut it down). Aap apna naatak likho na, Shakespeare ka kyun kar rahe ho aaj tak (You write your own play, why are you still doing Shakespeare). This is wrong thinking. When I adapt Shakespeare, I am putting my energies into it. I find this discussion on remakes useless.”

What is Down Syndrome?

Down Syndrome is a condition that is a result of the presence of an extra chromosome 21. It results in developmental delays and some physical traits. However, beyond these challenges the individuals with Down Syndrome have unique abilities and potential that go beyond their condition.

How Down Syndrome is the ‘Heart of the Story’

Beyond the remake debate, Sitaare Zameen Par conveys a powerful message. Much like ‘Taare Zameen Par’ brought attention to dyslexia, this new film takes on Down Syndrome with an empowering perspective. In the movie, Khan plays a basketball coach whose life is transformed as he mentors nine boys with special needs.

The story flips the teacher-student dynamic of ‘Taare Zameen Par’, offering a fresh, heartwarming perspective. “This one will make you laugh,” Khan told News18, contrasting it with the emotional pull of his 2007 film. Genelia Deshmukh, who is making a return, will play the lead in the film, which will be directed by RS Prasanna.

‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, which will be released on June 20, seeks to raise awareness about inclusivity and empathy while also addressing the issues that people with special needs face.

Facing Backlash, Aamir Khan’s Team Changes Logo to Indian Flag

May 17, 2025, 2:11 pm

Aamir Khan has once again come under fire. This time, netizens have called for a boycott of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par. The controversy started due to his delayed support for Operation Sindoor and the resurfacing of an old video from his visit to Turkey.

Aamir Khan Productions Updates Profile Photo Amid Outrage

Amid the growing criticism, Aamir Khan’s production company made a sudden move on Friday. They replaced their social media display picture with the Indian national flag. This change appeared across all platforms — X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook.

Consequently, many users saw this as an attempt to control the damage. The hashtag #BoycottAamirKhan quickly gained traction online.

Internet Users Question the Timing

Soon after, social media platforms were filled with screenshots and strong reactions. Many questioned the timing of the DP change.

One Reddit user commented, “Lol, he’s being boycotted online so clearly did it as damage control.”

Another user wrote, “Bekaar mein damage control kar rahe hain, aisa karne se thodi na boycott karne wale inko chhod denge.” (They’re doing damage control for no reason; it’s not like people calling for a boycott will stop because of this.)

What Triggered the Boycott?

The outrage seems to come from two main reasons. Firstly, people think Aamir Khan’s support for Operation Sindoor was only for publicity since his movie is releasing soon. Secondly, an old video of him in Turkey went viral again, leading to fresh criticism.

Aamir Khan’s Earlier Comments on National Issues

Earlier, after the Pulwama terror attack, Aamir Khan had spoken publicly. He told ABP News:
“We need justice and assurance that it won’t happen again. We believe in our government, and we should let them do the work. I have full faith in them.” Still, critics feel his current gestures appear forced and calculated.

Trailer Out, Film to Release in June 2025

Meanwhile, the trailer for Sitaare Zameen Par was recently released. While some fans appreciated it, others remained upset. As a result, the boycott calls have not stopped. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on June 20, 2025.

Aamir Khan Rejected ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’ Sequel Idea, Reveals Director Abbas — Know Why?

May 5, 2025, 3:03 am

Bollywood actor Imran Khan and director Abbas Tyrewala recently revisited the memories of their 2008 hit film Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na during a conversation on the YouTube channel Aamir Khan Talkies. The duo revealed that although fans have long demanded a sequel, a follow-up film is unlikely—largely due to Aamir Khan’s reaction to the proposed storyline.

Abbas Tyrewala Recalls Aamir Khan’s Reaction

Director Abbas Tyrewala shared that shortly after the film’s release, he approached Aamir Khan—who produced the original—with an idea for a sequel. “Very shortly after the film’s release, I went to Aamir with an idea for the sequel — at some point, Jai and Aditi would fight. I told him, ‘Let’s start the sequel at the point when Jai and Aditi are on the verge of separation. Jai will bump into Meghna at a party and he is drunk,’” Abbas explained.

However, Aamir strongly opposed the concept. Abbas revealed, “Aamir told me, ‘Never refer to this movie again. I don’t want to hear anything about the sequel if that’s the direction you’re going in.’”

Why Abbas Never Moved Forward With a Sequel

Abbas admitted that he lacked the passion to create a sequel that lived up to the original. “I don’t know how to reboot fairytales. I haven’t seen them working well,” he said. He and Imran also discussed the idea of a reunion of the film’s characters over coffee but ultimately ruled out the possibility of making a second installment.

Fans Still Ask for a Sequel

Imran Khan humorously described how fans often confront him about the sequel. “People often come up to me and grab me by the shirt, demanding to know about the film’s sequel,” he said. Abbas added, “That’s my Instagram DM every day.”

About the Film

Released in 2008, Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na starred Imran Khan and Genelia D’Souza in a coming-of-age romantic story about best friends Jai and Aditi, who only realise their love after exploring other relationships. The film, also featuring Prateik Babbar, Manjari Fadnis, and Ayaz Khan, earned ₹82.10 crore worldwide, making it a commercial success.

Imran Khan’s Return to Bollywood

Following a long hiatus after his 2015 film Katti Batti, Imran Khan signaled a return to the screen in 2023. On Threads, he updated fans, writing, “To whom it may concern; I hear you. And I’m working on it. Thank you for being so patient with me.”

While Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na remains a beloved film among fans, the chances of a sequel appear slim. With Aamir Khan firmly against revisiting the story and the creators themselves uncertain about a follow-up, the film may remain a standalone classic.

Aamir Khan Returns with Sitaare Zameen Par, a Heartfelt Sequel with a Comic Twist

April 21, 2025, 3:57 pm

After staying away from films for months, Aamir Khan is back in the spotlight. This time, it’s not just because of his friendship with Gauri Spratt. Instead, he is making headlines for his new movie, Sitaare Zameen Par.

Earlier, Aamir appeared in a virtual meeting with his China-based fan club. Later, the video surfaced on social media platform X. During the chat, he shared updates about the film that was first announced in October 2023.

He revealed, “Sitaare Zameen Par is almost ready. It is the sequel of Taare Zameen Par. Thematically, it is going ten steps ahead. It is about people who are differently abled. It is about love, friendship and life. Taare Zameen Par made you cry but this film will make you laugh. It’s a comedy but the theme is the same.”

Aamir Plays a Flawed Character

Previously, Aamir played a kind teacher named Nikumbh in Taare Zameen Par. However, in the upcoming film, his character is very different.

He explained, “My character in Taare Zameen Par was Nikumbh, who is a very sensitive person. In this film, my character’s name is Gulshan, but his personality is exactly opposite to Nikumbh’s. He is not sensitive at all. He is very rude, politically incorrect, and he insults everybody. He fights with his wife, mother. He is a basketball coach and he beats up his senior coach. He is a person with a lot of internal problems, and the story is how he changes with the film. How these people in the spectrum teach him what it is to be a good human being.”

Clearly, Aamir has taken on a bold and challenging role.

Inspired by a Real-Life Story

Interestingly, the film draws inspiration from the Spanish movie Champions (2018). That film told the true story of the Aderes basketball team in Valencia, Spain. All the players had intellectual disabilities.

Later, Hollywood also made its version, with Woody Harrelson playing a hot-headed coach who learns to grow.

Now, Aamir offers an Indian version with a local twist. RS Prasanna directs the film. Moreover, Darsheel Safary—who played the lead child in Taare Zameen Par—returns to the screen. Genelia Deshmukh also joins the cast.

Fans Are Thrilled About the Comeback

Although the makers haven’t announced a release date yet, fans are already excited. Many are happy to see Aamir return to emotional storytelling.

One fan wrote, “hope Aamir Khan recreates this magic with Sitaare Zameen Par.” Another said, “Aamir aur drama genre dono ka comeback hoga iss film se.”

I couldn’t tell them what exactly was the film I was doing earlier, but now that they’ve watched it, I hope they’re proud of me. I’m now in class 12, studying commerce, and I’ll of course give the board exams, which will be next year.”

Amir Khan Praises Vinesh Phogat’s ‘Stupendous Fight’ in Paris via Video Call

September 2, 2024, 2:06 pm

Speculation about a possible sequel to Dangal has sparked excitement after images of actor-producer Aamir Khan chatting with wrestler Vinesh Phogat surfaced on social media. Fans quickly jumped to conclusions, anticipating another sports drama following the success of Aamir’s 2016 blockbuster Dangal. A recent tweet asked, “Aamir Khan has spoken to Vinesh Phogat on a video call. Your reaction?” Fans eagerly responded, with many expressing excitement for Dangal 2.

In the photos, Aamir Khan and Vinesh Phogat appeared in high spirits as they spoke via video call. A fan page on Instagram shared the images, captioning, “Aamir Khan congratulated Vinesh Phogat on her impressive performance in Paris during a video call. He acknowledged her three fights as a testament to her champion mentality. Former wrestler Kripa Shankar, who mentored the actors in Dangal, was also part of the call.”

Dangal featured Aamir as Mahavir Singh Phogat, a wrestler who trained his daughters, Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari, to become India’s first world-class female wrestlers. Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra played the older versions of the Phogat sisters, while Zaira Wasim and the late Suhani Bhatnagar portrayed their younger selves.

The photos of Aamir and Vinesh’s call were also widely shared on Twitter. One user commented, “Dangal 2 is on its way!” Another chimed in, “Two champions together.” Another tweet humorously predicted, “Aamir Khan will make a film and mint money! Just wait and see!”

Vinesh Phogat had recently been in the spotlight during the Paris Olympics 2024, where she reached the final of the women’s 50kg wrestling event but was disqualified for breaching the weight limit before the final match. Despite this setback, Vinesh announced her retirement from wrestling the following day. She also appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for a joint silver medal, but the appeal was ultimately dismissed after several deferrals.

Kangana Ranaut Remembers Criticizing Rape Culture on Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate

August 29, 2024, 5:06 am

Kangana Ranaut has expressed her frustration with the film industry, criticizing its promotion of violence and its poor response to issues of discrimination and sexual exploitation. In a recent interview, Kangana reacted strongly to the Hema Committee’s report, which highlighted severe discrimination and sexual abuse faced by women in Malayalam cinema.

Kangana shared her long-standing concerns about these issues, noting that her efforts to address them have largely been ignored. She voiced her disappointment in industry women who continue to promote item songs and fail to take responsibility for the sexualization of young women.

When asked about the alleged rape culture in the Kerala film industry and whether it is representative of other film industries, Kangana responded sharply. She described the industry as “hopeless” and criticized it for its lack of progress despite her personal sacrifices. “I have put everything at stake, from my career to my choices,” she said. She pointed out that she has faced legal battles and struggled with the MeToo movement, which she feels has not achieved much. Despite her efforts to promote feminist cinema and equal pay, she has faced backlash from other women in the industry.

Kangana reflected on her past appearances, such as her episode on Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate, where she called out problematic portrayals of women in film. She lamented that her criticisms made her many enemies and noted that sexist and violent films continue to perform well at the box office. “I have made everyone my enemy,” she said, expressing her frustration that her efforts have seemingly led to little change.

She also criticized women who participate in item numbers and do not support other women’s work. “I am very disappointed in women who do not promote other women’s work,” she said. Kangana added that some women have questioned her fights and struggles, not understanding that she is fighting for broader change, not just for herself. She feels that her advocacy has cost her opportunities and financial gains.

Looking ahead, Kangana will next be seen in Emergency, where she plays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film, which she directed and wrote, features a cast including Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik. It is set to release in theaters on September 6.

In a touching moment, Aamir Khan praises Rhea for her courage in facing adversity, particularly the online hate and trolling she endured following the death of her boyfriend, Sushant Singh Rajput, in 2020. Rhea, who was accused of abetment to suicide and spent several months in jail, has since been rebuilding her life and career, with *Chapter 2* being a significant step forward.

Discussing Grief and Therapy

Aamir becomes visibly emotional and takes a moment to compose himself, reflecting on how therapy has helped him navigate difficult times. He also hints at a significant shift in his life, revealing that he is considering stepping away from acting to focus on other aspects of filmmaking.

Upcoming Episode Details

The episode featuring Aamir Khan will be available on August 23. Rhea shared the promo with her followers, expressing her excitement about having Aamir on her show and hinting at the profound discussions to come.

The first episode of ‘Chapter 2’ featured Sushmita Sen, and with Aamir Khan as the next guest, the show is quickly gaining attention for its candid and meaningful conversations. Aamir’s last film, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, may not have performed well at the box office, but it garnered praise after its OTT release, marking another chapter in the actor’s illustrious career.

Did Aamir Khan hint at Retirement?

August 9, 2024, 11:51 pm

Superstar Aamir Khan and his ex-wife, filmmaker Kiran Rao, recently had a meaningful discussion with Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud following a special screening of their acclaimed film Laapataa Ladies at the Supreme Court. Held on Friday, this screening was part of a gender sensitisation initiative and was attended by several Supreme Court judges.

Aamir shared that his motivation to produce Laapataa Ladies was driven by both “fear and desire.” Reflecting on his career, he noted, “During COVID, at 56, I realized I’m in the final phase of my career. I might have around 15 years left of active work, and I wanted to give back. The industry, society, and country have given me so much. I thought I could produce one film a year, but as a producer, I could support multiple stories I care about.”

Known for his focus on socially relevant cinema, Aamir expressed his dedication to fostering new talent in filmmaking. “By producing, I can create opportunities for new writers, directors, and other creatives. Laapataa Ladies is the first step in this direction. I aim to produce four to five films a year to showcase more such innovative work,” he explained.

Chief Justice Chandrachud also asked about the film’s inspiration. Kiran Rao revealed that it all started with an original script by Biplab Goswami, which Aamir discovered during a Screen Writers Association competition in 2020. They decided to acquire the rights and add more humor to the script. “The journey was long and uncertain due to industry changes,” Kiran noted.

Despite suggestions to release the film directly on OTT platforms, they opted for a theatrical release. “The film has been well-received by audiences, and I’m pleased we brought it to cinemas,” Kiran said.

Laapataa Ladies is about two newlywed brides who are accidentally switched during a train journey to their husbands’ homes. The film had a modest box office performance but achieved even greater success on Netflix, breaking several viewership records.

Kiran Rao On Post-Divorce Life: “Happy Without Aamir, We Don’t Need A Paper To Define Us”

July 22, 2024, 1:27 pm

Kiran Rao has finally come out to express her happiness over the separation from Aamir Khan. She revealed in an interview that while the act of separation was difficult, she was more than relieved that they had pulled it off. Aamir and Kiran declared their separation in July 2021.

“It’s been a very happy divorce,” Rao said during an interview with Faye D’Souza and added, “I feel relationships need to be redefined from time to time because we change as human beings as we grow. We need different things and this (divorce) is what I felt would make me happy and has made me very happy, honestly.”
“Before Aamir, I was single for a very long time. I did, actually. I enjoyed my independence. I was lonely, but now I have Azad, so I don’t tend to be lonely. I think loneliness is the only thing most people are a bit worried about when they get divorced or lose a partner. I haven’t felt lonely at all. In fact, I get the support of both families, his family and mine. Anyway, actually, it’s all been good stuff. It’s been a very happy divorce,” she said.

However, Kiran also confessed that ending their 15-year-long marriage wasn’t easy for either of them. The Laapataa Ladies director revealed that the Bollywood actor “took a while to get there emotionally and mentally.” Rao further expressed that she knew she would cope with the divorce because she wanted “independent, individual time to myself and my life”.

“There’s a lot of love, lot of respect, there’s a lot of shared history, shared laughs, shared ideology, there’s lots of things that we look for in each other. So, I didn’t want to lose that,” said Kiran Rao, as she concluded her statement, meaning thereby that though she and Aamir have parted ways, they didn’t need any paper to define them. “‘Yeah, we don’t need paper saying that we are married, but we know what we mean to each other’… This is a relationship which will stand the test of time despite the divorce,” she said.
