Aamir Khan Movies Re-releasing at the Festival

Here is the list of movies that will be re-released during Aamir Khan: Cinema Ka Jadugar:

Javed Akhtar & Aamir Khan’s Banter

While speaking about Aamir Khan, Javed Akhtar humorously remarked, "There are so many characters, I fear I might forget a few. Aamir was born in 1965, and I started my career in Bollywood the same year. Aamir’s first film was written by me. I was writing Faryaaz in Panchgani for Nasir Hussain when I saw Aamir and immediately told Nasir that he was a star. He should start with a romantic film. Aamir’s first film was produced and written by me. Even my son’s first film was with Aamir."

Aamir then recalled a moment when he was waiting for Javed Akhtar’s call after rejecting a script by Farhan Akhtar. When Javed didn’t call, Aamir realized that Farhan must have not spoken to him—a sign that Farhan truly believed in Aamir’s potential.

Javed Akhtar further praised Aamir Khan’s unique choices and fearless approach in selecting films: “Only Aamir could have believed in these characters and stories. He did a film with Ashutosh Gowariker despite having a flop with him before. When a new director, Farhan Akhtar, came to him with a film about three heroes, Aamir said yes. Who else would have done Dangal? A role of an aging wrestler who loses to his daughter in a match? All actors work with directors who have given hits, but Aamir takes chances like no other."
