Aamir Khan on tough run of all film industries at box office: Take the decision, don't come to OTT before six months
With the release of his film Sitaare Zameen Par recently Aamir Khan has shut down the voices of those predicting Bollywood's doomsday. Aamir Khan The actor candidly opens up about sticking to his guns for its release on the next episode of the weekly show, The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra. The episode drops today at 7pm across Hindustan Times' YouTube channels. Excerpts: Aamir, you have been called the man of the moment... Right now, I am just relieved! Is it a relief because Bollywood has been having a tough run lately? Not just Bollywood, every language is; don't count the top hits like say, Pathaan, Jawan (both 2023) or Pushpa (2021), whether it's in the south or Hindi films. I am including Hollywood — this exists all over the world. Relief and happiness is what one has been hoping for in Bollywood, and you have spearheaded that. Lovely compliments are coming your way for Sitaare Zameen Par. What did Gauri (Spratt, girlfriend) say the moment she finished watching it? Itna pyaar mil raha hai iss film ko, people have fallen in love with it. They feel so happy when watching it. Gauri has really loved the film. She has been confident from the beginning. One has been hoping that theatrical viewing finds its mojo again... many are wondering why people don't want to come to theatres for films, isn't it? The quality of cinema hasn't changed in the last three to four years. Jaisi filmein 10 saal ya 8 saal pehle bann rahi thi, quality abhi bhi wahi hai. Kuch achchi hoti thi pehle, kuch buri. The difference is, earlier, films would come to OTT six months after release. If you give me an offer — come to theatres ya free mein ghar par dekho, main kahan dekhunga? World over, film industry ke log sar kyun khujla rahe hain, mujhe samajh nahin aa raha. Simple solution hai: if people want us to return to square one, studios and producers will have to insist, 'We won't sell to OTT before six months.' Phir dekhiye dhandha kaise badalta hai. OTTs zyada paisa de rahe hain, ek safety crutch mil raha hai producers ko. Koi risk nahin lena chah raha hai. Also read: Sitaare Zameen Par movie review: Aamir Khan's heartwarming film stumbles, then soars to score a basket in the 2nd half Are you hopeful that other producers will be able to sustain the risk you have taken? We have to decide for ourselves. I have made it very clear to my audience: I will stick to the old pattern of releases. OTTs have given me healthy offers to bring the film out within two months of its theatrical release. Woh mujhe manzoor nahin. For me, OTT is no longer an option as a producer. Every producer has to do this — if things need to change, mere akele se cheezein nahin badlengi. Haan, mere liye badal jaayengi, but industry ke liye karna hai toh industry ko step lena padhega. You have always stayed under the radar, but several people feels Aamir only comes out of hibernation when he has a film releasing... Very true. I am a creative person, I get lost in my work. Main film banaun ya interview doon? Sachin Tendulkar ko aap pitch par bolte ho kya 'Interview do, batting baad mein karo'? Mujhe kaam toh karne do! Uska risk yeh hai ki jab koi newsy cheez aati hai — you aren't on social media — you are giving people freeway to create the perception they want. Woh galat hai, I should correct that. People make false allegations and I keep quiet because I think my audience knows me, so farak nahin padhega. I am not a talkative person. While making a film, I am not available often to my family, too. At that time, I'm not thinking of interviews. As a journalist, I wouldn't disturb anyone in creative work. Zahir hai, jab film aayegi, main baat karna chahunga. Mera audience ke sath gehra rishta hai. Main har jagah ja ke bolunga, 'Meri film dekho'. Isme galat kya hai? Aap mujhse kyun complain kar rahe ho!

Eijaz Khan on his deep bond with music; says ‘Music doesn't fix you, but it makes life bearable'
Eijaz Khan , best known for his intense performances in projects like City of Dreams, Adhrishyam, Dhoom Dhaam, and Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, recently opened up about something far more personal than a role or a script — his profound and emotional relationship with music. What unfolds is not just a love for melody, but a quiet testimony to the healing power of sound. On the topic of the current wave of remixed classics flooding Bollywood, Eijaz is refreshingly honest. 'I have mixed feelings about it. There's a very fine line,' he says. He isn't against experimentation, but what bothers him is the dilution of emotional memory. 'As long as the original song is respected and its essence isn't lost, it's okay,' he explains. But too often, the remixes feel like 'noise,' stripping away nostalgia and repackaging emotionless versions for quick consumption. 'It feels like those memories are being erased and repackaged like junk food,' he says, with a clarity that reveals his deep respect for original artistry. Asked which musician moved him the most, Eijaz doesn't hesitate. 'George Michael,' he answers. 'His voice doesn't try to be vulnerable — it just is. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo It scratches you, it makes you bleed, it shakes you.' For him, albums like Listen Without Prejudice and Older resonate on a visceral level, mirroring his own inner struggles. The pain, isolation, and silent battles in Michael's music echo chapters from his own life. 'Those albums aren't just music to me — they've become lifelines. ' Recounting a powerful moment from a Guns N' Roses concert, Eijaz reveals, 'When they started playing my favorite hits, I didn't scream or sing along. I just froze and started crying.' In that moment, he felt a convergence of his past and present selves. 'I was that young boy, Eijaz Khan, who didn't understand so many things but had Guns N' Roses as a companion.' That concert was not just an experience — it was a memory stitched back together, a form of emotional closure. Naming his favorite song is easy: Older by George Michael . 'That song isn't preachy — it feels like a quiet, honest conversation you have with yourself,' he reflects. With every passing year, its meaning grows deeper. 'Every line, every word feels like a page pulled straight out of my own emotional diary.' Music, for Eijaz, goes beyond entertainment or inspiration. 'It transforms you. It helps you evolve. Sometimes it gives your deepest pain a voice,' he says. It hasn't fixed him — but it has comforted him through despair. 'You understand music differently when you're broken,' he says poignantly. 'And I think during my loneliest phases, music understood me even when I didn't understand myself.' From silence to song, from solitude to self-awareness, Eijaz Khan's emotional world is intimately tied to the music that shaped him. 'Sometimes it's healed me. Sometimes it's haunted me. But always, it's comforted me.' And in those melodies and lyrics, we see not just the actor, but the man — real, raw, and remarkably resonant.
