Aamir Khan has dismissed decades of rumours that he secretly directs many of the films he stars in, insisting he has officially helmed only Taare Zameen Par in his 38-year career. Speaking at a Screen Academy Masterclass, he said credit and creative responsibility don’t work the way gossip suggests, pointing to the distinct tones of his movies. He also addressed method acting, admitting he doesn’t fully “become” a character and joking that staying “in character” can become a cover for misbehaviour.
Junaid Khan discussed Ek Din’s box office and explained why he plans to limit Aamir Khan’s involvement in his future projects. The new actor says his priorities are building his own space in the industry, and that frequent releases matter more right now. In doing so, he also shares a surprising view on Aamir’s on-screen workload.

Sai Pallavi has opened up about feeling “miscast” in Junaid Khan’s lead film Ek Din, which is based on the Thai original One Day. The remake has flopped hard at the box office, with reports estimating a ₹25 crore budget and only around ₹4 crore collected in the first week, reigniting criticism of Aamir Khan’s production choices.
Aamir Khan says his “perfectionist” approach didn’t always guide his career. He reveals he agreed to Awwal Number and Tum Mere Ho without reading or hearing the story, influenced by his father. The actor now prefers instincts and meticulous preparation, citing Taare Zameen Par as an example. Those early 1990 films, however, failed at the box office.
Aamir Khan has officially confirmed 3 Idiots part 2 is in the works, reuniting Rajkumar Hirani and writer Abhijat Joshi. Speaking at a promotional event, Khan said they’ve developed a “beautiful and unusual” story that brings back the beloved trio a decade after the original journey, setting up a new chapter with surprising developments.
