How Aamir Khan Chooses Films
“I am not a fearless person. Before the release, you can’t assume the film will work, at least my films. There were exceptions like Ghajini and Dhoom 3, where you could say yeh kuch toh karegi. But with the unusual ones, it’s difficult to tell. I go with my instinct and my heart. So, I am not thinking about what the audience wants to see. I am thinking mujhe kya banana hai,” he said.
Why Is Aamir Khan Betting on Pay-Per-View?
Aamir Khan has adopted the pay-per-view model on his YouTube channel for his latest film, Sitaare Zameen Par. After its theatrical release in June, the movie is now available online for Rs 100 per view.
Reflecting on this approach, Aamir stated, “We are able to reach only 2-3 per cent of our population in the theatrical business, and this is for the biggest hit. For a film like Sitaare Zameen Par, around one crore people would have watched it by the end of its theatrical run. In the absence of enough theatres being built, this model is perhaps the only way to reach the vast majority of India, especially with rising internet penetration.”
Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par
Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par tells the heartwarming story of Gulshan Arora (played by Aamir Khan), a hot-headed basketball coach assigned to train a team of adults with intellectual disabilities. What starts as a punishment soon transforms into a journey of acceptance, growth, and inclusion. The film is a spiritual sequel to 2007’s Taare Zameen Par and is an official Hindi adaptation of the Spanish hit Campeones.
Aamir Khan’s Coolie:
Aamir Khan will be making special appearance in Rajinikanth’s Coolie which is releasing on August 14. At a recent pre-release event, the Sitaare Zameen Par star opened up about what drew him to the project—and his answer is pure admiration. In a candid confession, Aamir revealed that Coolie marks the first time in his career he signed a film without hearing a single line of narration. “Lokesh came to meet me. I didn’t know why he was coming to meet me. He said, ‘It’s for Coolie. I want you to do a role in the film.’ The moment I got to know it’s Coolie and Rajini Sir’s film… after many, many years, probably for the first time, I have said yes to a film without hearing the script, without hearing anything,” Aamir shared.
The film is set for a grand Independence Day weekend release, where it will clash with Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan’s War 2—making August 14 one of the year’s biggest days at the box office.
