Celebrating his 59th birthday, Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan chose to connect with his admirers in an unconventional manner. Abandoning his usual private celebrations, the actor hosted a live session on Instagram, entertaining fans and expressing his gratitude for the birthday wishes. During the live session, he humorously acknowledged his own struggle with the social media platform while attempting to add fellow actor Ravi Kishan to the stream, eliciting laughter and playful jibes from fans.
A momentous revelation arrived amidst the merriment when Khan divulged that acclaimed director Rajkumar Santoshi was in the initial stages of scripting ‘Andaz Apna Apna 2’, the much-anticipated sequel to the 1994 comedy classic. The revelation inevitably sparked excitement, but Khan cautiously reminded the audience that it was too soon to celebrate.
The original ‘Andaz Apna Apna’, which translates to ‘Everyone Has Their Own Style’, featured a stellar ensemble including Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon, Karishma Kapoor, Paresh Rawal—in a fantastic dual role—and Shakti Kapoor. Despite underperforming at the box office upon its release, the film earned the affection of the audience over time, achieving cult status and being hailed as one of the quintessential comedies of Hindi cinema.
Khan, who currently is also collaborating with Santoshi as a producer on the period drama ‘Lahore, 1947’, seemed genuinely excited about reuniting with the director after their iconic film. ‘Lahore, 1947’ boasts a cast that includes Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Karan Deol, and Shabana Azmi, marking yet another ambitious project by Aamir Khan Productions. The announcement of the film in October 2023 sparked enthusiasm amongst cinephiles and the film fraternity alike, highlighting the anticipation and promise of quality cinema.
The conversation took another interesting turn when Aamir Khan responded to queries about a potential collaboration with the other two stalwarts of Bollywood: Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Recollecting the trio’s dance at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s high-profile pre-wedding bash, Aamir expressed his desire to share screen space with them again and rumored that the idea might indeed turn into reality if the right script comes their way.
Moreover, Aamir Khan shared insights into his upcoming film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, guaranteeing a humor-filled cinematic experience set to release in December. His brief yet engaging interaction provided a glimpse into the actor’s current endeavors and future aspirations, leaving fans with both answers and anticipation.
Celebrating another year of his illustrious journey in cinema, Aamir Khan’s openness about his ongoing projects and aspirations to work with his contemporaries served as a testament to his dedication to his craft. As the actor stands on the cusp of new cinematic ventures and possible grand reunions on screen, fans worldwide await with bated breath for the magic that unfolds when Bollywood’s finest engage in storytelling.
