Aamir Khan's hilarious ‘Baap-Beta' ad with ‘nepo kid' Junaid sets social media abuzz: ‘Funnier than his last few films'
The advertisement to announce Sitaare Zameen Par on YouTube, titled 'Baap-Bete Ki Nayi Scheme,' showed a light-hearted banter between the father-son duo, who also take a comic dig at rejecting OTT deals worth over ₹ 100 crore.
In the ad, which has got the social media abuzz with reactions, Aamir also roasted Junaid for his not-so-bright ideas, saying that they have 'ruined' him.
But Aamir Khan fans were most delighted when he acknowledged that his previous few movies, including Laal Singh Chaddha and Thugs of Hindostan, were a major mood killer for his audience.
In the ad, a happy Aamir Khan walks into his home only to find a man watching Sitaare Zameen Par on his phone. Agitated upon seeing his movie on a phone screen, since it hasn't been released on OTT, Aamir confronts the man, who tells him about his son Junaid's new scheme.
Aamir then rushes to confront Junaid, who butters him up with the OG 'maha purush' joke. However, an adamant Aamir tells Junaid that his ideas have always ended up ruining him, and mentions the Forrest Gump remake as Laal Singh Chaddha and the making of Thugs of Hindostan.
'Mene ₹ 100 crore ka offer reject kr dia hai, aur YouTube pr daal dia hai sirf ₹ 100 mai,' Junaid tells Aamir his bright new idea of releasing Sitaare Zameen Par on YouTube for ₹ 100.
Taken aback by the likely loss, Aamir insults Junaid for releasing Sitaare Zameen Par on YouTube and calls him a 'nepo kid'.
Social media users were thrilled to watch the 'hilarious' advertisement and said it brought back memories of 90s hit Andaz Apna Apna.
'Ngl but this is funnier than Aamir Khan's last few films,' said a user.
'Best advertisement!' another added.
A netizen highlighted: 'Aamir Khan giving amar vibes from Andaz Apna Apna.'
To which another chimed in saying, 'It is funnier because they are using andaaz apna apna scenes.'
'Yeh bhi to remake hai,' added another user.
Netizens also lauded the star's ability to laugh at himself and said, 'Aamir Khan might be the only superstar who openly jokes about his own flop films. That's why his fans don't fight on social media, they are the first to admit when a movie doesn't work. Never change, Aamir Khan. We love you.'
'Aamir still got the comic timing at 60 - i love his new power of laughing at himself,' another added.
They also noted that the ad was funnier than most comedy movies these days.
'Believe me sir this two minute video was more funnier than the whole housefull five movie,' said a user.
'So hilarious! Aamir never lost his edge in comedy,' another said. 'Truly commendable to have directly putting the film on YouTube so people can buy and have a sense of ownership. Fantastic stuff!' they added.
Netizens were the happiest by Aamir's 'nepo kid' dig at Junaid and said, ''Nepo kid' was personal.'
'I lost it when he said Nepooo kidddd,' another added.

Actor Avinash Mishra, who garnered much attention for his stint in the popular reality TV show Bigg Boss 18, is all set to come back on our screens with his first major fiction show. He will be seen in Ektaa Kapoor's Pyaar Sey Bandhe Rishte, which is Balaji Telefilms' first-ever long-format fiction show created just for YouTube. And to create more hype, the producer shared the trailer of the show through her social media account. Taking to her Instagram account on Monday, August 3, Ektaa released the trailer of Pyaar Sey Bandhe Rishte, which gave a hint into the storyline. Featuring Avinash alongside actresses Shhraddha Surve and Dipali Sharma as the lead cast, the show will delve into the themes of love, heartbreak and family bonds, something Balaji has long been associated with. What Is The Story Of Pyaar Sey Bandhe Rishte? The trailer begins with Reyansh's (Avinash) mother revealing that her son is returning to his home in Meerut after 15 long years. At the same time, a village girl named Saanchi (Dipali) also enters the wealthy household, where she would work as a house help. As the family celebrates the return of their son and gears up for his marriage, Reyansh introduces his modern girlfriend, Kavya (Shhraddha) and informs them that he will be marrying her. What follows is Reyansh's mother being totally against their marriage as she thinks Kavya won't be a good fit for their traditional household. Meanwhile, Saanchi helps Kavya to win over the family. However, things take a turn when Saanchi and Reyansh get closer and an unexpected bond forms between them. In the caption of the post, the producer wrote, 'Jab faisle dil ke na ho, Toh taqdeer likhte hai rishte…Pyaar Sey Bandhe Rishte Streaming on 7th August only on the Balaji Telefilms YouTube Channel." Avinash Mishra On Playing Reyansh In Pyaar Sey Bandhe Rishte Previously, Avinash, who is making his debut on the digital platform, spoke about his upcoming show Pyaar Sey Bandhe Rishte.

I'm grateful to Balaji Telefilms for trusting me to lead their first long-format YouTube original. I've done TV shows and music videos, but a full-fledged show streaming on YouTube is a whole new experience. I'm excited to see how viewers respond." Speaking about his character, Reyansh, the actor mentioned that the role is 'layered". He added, 'There's a certain charm and depth to him that I instantly connected with. I hope the audience showers the same love on Reyansh as they've always given to my previous characters."

Barsaat Director On Keeping Priyanka Chopra As Lead After Akshay Kumar Quit: 'Shaadishuda Aadmiyon Ko…'
Last Updated: Suneel Darshan explains Akshay Kumar's sudden exit from Barsaat and why Priyanka Chopra stayed on. Behind every Bollywood hit, there are stories that fans never hear about. One such story is why Akshay Kumar suddenly left the 2005 film Barsaat. Filmmaker Suneel Darshan, known for his successful films with Akshay in the early 2000s, has now opened up about the real reasons behind the actor's unexpected exit and why Priyanka Chopra stayed on as the lead actress. Darshan revealed that Akshay was going through serious personal issues at the time. 'There was a lot of turbulence in his personal life," he said. The film's shoot had actually started with both Akshay and Priyanka, and Darshan confirmed this saying, 'Ab toh gaana YouTube pe hai. Maine Akshay aur Priyanka ka shoot… woh film shoot hui thi, I know. Haan, woh shoot hui thi film." However, the situation changed when Akshay approached him with a difficult request. 'Usne mujhe poocha ki, 'Bhai, agar yeh mere bina ho sake, personal issues ki wajah se…' Toh main toh yeh maanta hoon ki actors ko bahot responsible hona chahiye, aur shaadishuda aadmiyon ko toh aur bhi zyada responsible hona chahiye." Despite the upheaval, Darshan made a conscious decision to keep Priyanka Chopra in the film. He explained, 'Yeh mera faisla tha, kyunki main chahta tha ki Priyanka Chopra ko us haadse ki responsibility ka onus na doon." He did not want the actress to carry the burden of the drama surrounding Akshay's exit. 'Aur main sochta tha, bhai, jiska mere se gehra sambandh tha — jitna bhi tha — woh toh Akshay hi kehta tha ki 'main tujhe apna kya samajhta hoon'… Woh toh us waqt shayad kisi tape mein mil bhi jaaye." The turmoil went beyond just the film. Rumours of a relationship between Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra reportedly created tension in Akshay's marriage to Twinkle Khanna. Akshay and Priyanka, who were once a hit pair on screen with films like Andaaz and Aitraaz, stopped working together after this incident. Over the years, Priyanka has rarely spoken about the situation. But during a recent promotion for her Hollywood film Heads of State, she made a brief, respectful mention of Akshay, showing she holds no grudges. Suneel Darshan summed it up with a grounded view on the situation: 'Lekin kya hota hai, galti karna insaan ki fitrat hoti hai — aur producer ko maar khana uski taqdeer mein hota hai."

Bandra West continues to attract Bollywood's biggest names.

He's set to attend the 2025 Indian Film Festival of Melbourne as Chief Guest. Up next, Aamir khan will be seen in a cameo in Rajnikanth's Coolie. It follows the story of Deva, a former daily-wage laborer with a dark and mysterious past who emerges from the shadows after decades to avenge a close friend. Rajinikanth plays the titular role in what promises to be a massy yet layered narrative packed with action, suspense, and political undertones. The film features an ensemble cast including Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra Rao, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, Reba Monica John and Rachita Ram. The soundtrack and background score are composed by Anirudh Ravichander, adding further buzz to the August 14, 2025 release.
