Aamir Khan Eyes Murder Mystery Based On Shocking Meghalaya Honeymoon Case? Here's The Truth
Fresh off the success of Sitaare Zameen Par, Bollywood icon Aamir Khan may be setting his sights on a gripping new genre. If industry whispers are to be believed, the actor-producer is reportedly interested in developing a film based on the chilling Meghalaya Honeymoon Murder case that has captivated the nation.
The case in question involves Sonam, the wife accused of murdering her husband Raja Raghuvanshi during their honeymoon — a story that has dominated headlines with its shocking twists and psychological complexity. According to a Times Now report, Khan has been 'closely following the updates on the Meghalaya Murder case" and is 'personally tracking and discussing the details with his close circle." The source further adds, 'There might be a development on the subject from his production too."
While no official statement has been made by Khan or Aamir Khan Productions, the star's interest has certainly sparked speculation. Known for his discerning taste and commitment to socially relevant storytelling — evident in films like Taare Zameen Par and Dangal — Khan's curiosity in the high-profile case suggests a potential pivot into the psychological thriller or crime drama genre.
Meanwhile, the actor continues to juggle multiple projects at his home banner, including early-stage development on a long-anticipated cinematic adaptation of the Mahabharata. Insiders claim that Khan has been 'relentlessly" exploring compelling narratives that blend drama, realism, and cultural intrigue.
Should the Meghalaya murder case indeed become the basis of his next film, it would mark a stark departure from his recent emotional family dramas — offering audiences a darker, more suspenseful side of Aamir Khan.
For now, fans and industry watchers await an official confirmation. One thing is clear — with Aamir Khan's involvement, any story is bound to be told with nuance, depth, and a strong cinematic voice.

Is Aamir Khan in trouble? 25 IPS officers reach his home due to...
A video has surfaced showing police vehicles exiting Aamir Khan's Bandra residence. According to reports, a team of 25 IPS officers visited the actor's house recently. While the reason behind their arrival remains unclear, the internet hasn't stopped buzzing. Fans spotted the clip online, and theories started flying, from a surprise collaboration to legal trouble; everyone had a guess. Did Aamir's team know? According to reports, Aamir's team responded with a surprising admission, 'We are still trying to know from Aamir.' Even those closest to him seem to have been caught off guard. Was it related to his film? Aamir Khan is currently riding high on the success of Sitare Zameen Par, which has made around Rs 165 crore in India. The film, starring Genelia D'Souza alongside Aamir, is still running strong. Some fans speculated whether the police presence had something to do with promotions, a shoot, or even security arrangements—but nothing has been confirmed. What about his personal life? In recent months, Aamir has been making headlines for reasons beyond the big screen. He has often been spotted with his rumoured partner Gauri Spratt, adding to the public intrigue around his personal life. So, what was the police visit about? For now, it remains a mystery. No official statement has been released, and even Aamir's close circle seems to be in the dark. Until then, the video continues to gather views, and the whispers aren't stopping anytime soon. Professionally, he's got big things lined up. In August, Aamir will travel to Australia to attend the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, where he's the chief guest and will be honoured for his contribution to cinema. 'I'm thrilled and grateful to be a part of the film festival… I'm excited to share my journey with Melbourne,' Aamir said in a statement. He's also set to portray Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian cinema, in Rajkumar Hirani's upcoming biopic.

Aamir Khan's film goes pay-per-view on YouTube, gives OTT giants a miss
Mumbai: Aamir Khan Productions has partnered with YouTube to release Sitaare Zameen Par on a pay-per-view basis in a potentially significant move, said people familiar with the development. This marks the first time in recent memory a Hindi film featuring a major star has not been licensed to a dominant subscription video-on-demand ( SVOD ) platform such as Netflix, Prime Video or JioHotstar, opting instead for a pay-per-view strategy via the world's largest video platform. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category Technology Artificial Intelligence CXO Project Management Degree healthcare MCA Digital Marketing Public Policy Leadership Design Thinking Operations Management Data Analytics Data Science MBA Finance others Cybersecurity Management PGDM Product Management Healthcare Data Science Others Skills you'll gain: Duration: 12 Weeks MIT xPRO CERT-MIT XPRO Building AI Prod India Starts on undefined Get Details Industry sources say Aamir Khan is tapping into the pay-per-view window, which has been a phenomenon globally but remains underutilised in India. However, they noted that it's still unclear how long he will delay the SVOD release following the pay-per-view window. Aamir Khan Productions and YouTube declined to comment. The film is likely to move to YouTube early next month. While the industry typically follows an eight-week window for streaming on SVOD platforms, Khan recently said that all his films will follow a six-month theatrical run to protect box office revenues. The film was released on June 20 in theatres. "It's a bold move by an A-list star, and all eyes will be on how much the film can earn from pay-per-view, as well as how long Aamir Khan plans to keep it there before releasing it on an SVOD platform," said Shariq Patel, former CEO of Zee Studios. Film is expected to be priced at ₹99. Netflix and Prime Video continue to dominate India's post-theatrical streaming market. According to Media Partners Asia, producers' streaming revenues have grown to 1.5 times their net theatrical share, making it a critical monetisation channel. However, the FICCI-EY 2025 report shows that streaming rights revenue in India fell to ₹3,100 crore, down from ₹3,500 crore in 2023 and ₹3,300 crore in 2022, as platforms cut back on content spending in pursuit of profitability. Still, not everyone sees this as a replicable model. Abundantia Entertainment CEO Vikram Malhotra noted that such an approach may work better for mid-budget films than big-budget ones, which often depend on upfront OTT deals for financial recovery. "Therefore, it's unlikely to serve as a viable financial model across the board, especially for films with higher break-even points. That said, it's an interesting and important experiment whose impact and sustainability will become clearer over time," he said. Suniel Wadhwa, a veteran distributor, cofounder and director of Karmic Films, said: " Film distribution through YouTube may not be remunerative for all actors or producers. It is a long-gestation affair. It will work only for well-established or A-list actors who have a huge or unique following. Besides this, it will be a practical alternative only for producers who have capacity to wait and earn revenues in the long-term." Sitaare Zameen Par is said to have been made on a budget of under ₹100 crore. As an in-house production, Khan has reportedly waived his fee, potentially making the model more viable. The film has collected ₹166.2 crore in India and ₹263.7 crore worldwide, according to box office tracker Sacnilk. Malhotra added that while the pay-per-view model has been tried before, it hasn't gained traction, largely because audiences favour subscription platforms offering a wider content library. Ajay Phutane, a veteran of film distribution and marketing, said digital distribution is becoming increasingly important as theatre footfalls decline post-pandemic. "The fall in theatrical viewership is directly tied to the rise in digital subscribers," he said. "A ₹99 pay-per-view release on YouTube is a significant step, especially given its vast reach. With many single screens shut and limited theatres in tier 2 and tier 3 cities, YouTube offers a more economical and convenient alternative as viewers can watch at their own time, place, and pace."
