'Naa main uska baap hoon...', Aamir Khan breaks silence on his rumoured relationship with co-actress, she is...
Recently, during an interview session with Lallantop, the actor had revealed that many A-list actresses, including Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt, had refused this project of Yash Raj Films. Later, producer Aditya Chopra and director Vijay Krishna Acharya decided to cast Fatima Sana Shaikh in the film. For the unversed, Fatima Sana Shaikh, who played the role of Aamir Khan's daughter in Nitesh Tiwari's blockbuster 'Dangal', was seen in the role of Aamir Khan's lover in the film Thugs of Hindostan. The Director Refused To Film Love Angle
Aamir Khan further told that the director said, 'We will not make any romantic track between you and her because she was your daughter in 'Dangal'. How can she play the role of your girlfriend here? The audience will reject it.' To which Aamir replied, 'main in sab baaton par vishvaas nahin karta. main vaastav men uska pitaa nahin hoon, na hi main vaastav men uska premi hoon. hum ek film banaa rahe hain bhai.'
Aamir further cited the example of veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan and Waheeda Rehman, who have played mother-son and lover in films. He also said, 'The audience is not so stupid that they will mistake him for a real father. If we say so, then we are underestimating our audience.' More About Thugs Of Hindostan
Thugs of Hindostan was released on November 8, 2018, coinciding with the Diwali festival, and it faced negative reviews from critics. The film earned Rs 335 crore ($45 million) globally at the box office. It premiered in China on December 28, 2018, featuring a special edition edited by Aamir Khan, which had a shorter runtime than the original.
Globally, the film made between Rs 202.38 crore ($27.31 million) and Rs 211.98 crore ($29 million) during its opening weekend, and it earned Rs 238.4 crore ($32 million) in its first week. By November 26, 2018, the film had grossed Rs262.8 crore ($35.47 million) worldwide.
As of December 31, 2018, Thugs of Hindostan had grossed Rs 320 crore ($43 million) at the global box office. However, the box office revenue fell sharply after the poor reviews, and the film only made Rs 145 crore in India after 11 days. This led to significant losses for theater owners, who requested refunds from the sub-distributor of Yash Raj Films.

Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 2: Aditya Roy Kapur-Sara Ali Khan's Film Sees Growth
New Delhi: Filmmaker Anurag Basu's latest release, Metro In Dino, is slowly gaining momentum at the box office. What's Happening After a modest start with Rs 3.04 crore on its opening day, Metro In Dino showed growth on its first Saturday, collecting Rs 6.33 crore. This takes the film's total earnings to Rs 9.5 crore so far. The romantic drama features an ensemble cast that includes Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, and Ali Fazal. On Saturday, the film saw a better turnout, especially during evening and night shows, with average occupancy touching 47% during the night. Background While the opening day numbers are higher than Anurag Basu's 2007 film Life in a... Metro, which earned Rs 87 lakh on its first day, Metro In Dino has not matched the opening figures of his later work. Basu's last theatrical release Jagga Jasoos, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, opened with Rs 8.57 crore. The current film has also underperformed when compared to Sara Ali Khan's last release Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, which had an opening of Rs 5.49 crore. Metro In Dino is also facing stiff competition at the box office. Jurassic World Rebirth opened strongly with Rs 9 crore and continues to attract audiences. Films from previous weeks are still holding well-Kajol's Maa earned Rs 1 crore on Day 8, Brad Pitt's F1 collected Rs 3.50 crore on its eighth day, and Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par has already earned Rs 137 crore in two weeks. The film comes at a time when Bollywood has seen a mixed first half of 2025. Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava remains the only major blockbuster with a gross of Rs 585 crore. Raid 2 has made Rs 173 crore, while Sitaare Zameen Par could soon join the top performers if it maintains its current pace. As per Pinkvilla, the film has been made on a budget of Rs 100 crore, including Rs 85 crore for production and Rs 15 crore for marketing.

Rajinikanth's Coolie Took Over My Life For 2 Years, Says Lokesh Kanagaraj: 'No Friends, No Family'
Last Updated: Lokesh Kanagaraj reveals he spent two years doing nothing but working on Rajinikanth's Coolie, calling it his most intense and personal filmmaking journey yet. One of the most anticipated Tamil films in recent times, Coolie—featuring an explosive cast including Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Aamir Khan, and Shruti Haasan—is shaping up to be a potential box office juggernaut. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the high-octane action thriller is slated to hit the big screen on August 14, and expectations are sky-high. For Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie isn't just another film—it's a passion project that has consumed the last two years of his life. In fact, the filmmaker has gone so deep into the making of this cinematic spectacle that he has even stepped away from social media to focus entirely on the film. In a recent conversation with Filmyscoops, Lokesh got candid about his personal sacrifices while working on Coolie. 'The last 2 years all I did was Coolie. No family, no friends, and nothing. My 36 and 37 years of life, all I did was Coolie," he shared, underscoring the intense dedication he brought to the project. And that commitment seems to be paying off already. According to Pinkvilla, the film has made history even before its release by sealing the biggest overseas rights deal ever for a Tamil film. Hamsini Entertainment has acquired the international distribution rights for a record-breaking Rs. 86 crore, signaling massive anticipation across global markets. A source close to the development added, 'This is the biggest deal of all time for a film from the Tamil Film Industry. The makers have procured record MGs despite a clash with War 2." Adding to the frenzy is a special appearance by Bollywood icon Aamir Khan, who will be seen in a spectacular cameo in Coolie. But the collaboration doesn't end there. Aamir has officially confirmed that he is set to team up with Lokesh Kanagaraj for a full-fledged superhero film after wrapping up his next project with Rajkumar Hirani. 'Yes, it is (a superhero film). I am very excited for the film because Lokesh is an amazing director," Aamir told Pinkvilla. 'The film will start next year in the second half, once I am done with the Raju (Rajkumar Hirani) film. I think we will start shooting for it in September 2026." With a dream cast, a visionary director, and already record-shattering deals in place, Coolie is poised to be not just a cinematic event, but a cultural milestone in Tamil and Indian cinema.
