Ramu kept a celebration party at Sun N Sand three days after the film’s release, and he had tears in his eyes when we met there. I’m surprised because he had no grouses against me (just as I didn’t have against him) during the making of Rangeela. Of course, he is free to have his own opinion as I am to have mine.”Īamir added, “What has hurt me are his statements in that interview. With that interview, he has made me realise what kind of a person he is. Even if I meet him now, I’ll ignore him because I’m not a hypocrite. Aamir replied, "No, I haven’t met him thereafter. However, 'Rangeela' is considered as one the most iconic films of Aamir's career.ĭuring a recent interview, Aamir was asked what he felt about that criticism and whether he has met the filmmaker post those comments. Back in the day, Aamir's performance in the film 'Rangeela' was criticised by director Ram Gopal Varma. This means that no matter how expressive or charismatic an actor is, he is never immune to some bad reviews from people who don't find their performance appealing and not even Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan is an exception to this.

He made his directorial debut with 2007's "Like Stars on Earth," and later, earned the distinction of appearing in one of the highest-grossing films in Bollywood history: the 2009 comedy "3 Idiots.Like every other form of art, acting is also subjective. Khan took a break from acting for a few years, but came strongly back with "Mangal Pandey: The Rising" (2005). In 2001, he produced and starred in the epic "Lagaan," a huge popular success around the world and one that was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. His career tempered a bit with the public after the latter success, but Khan did also star in acclaimed director Deepa Mehta's "Earth" (1998), among other productions. Khan's stardom shined brightly throughout the 1990s, particularly due to his roles in a string of box office hits, including "Dil" (1990), "Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke" (1993), his first screenwriting credit, and "Raja Hindustani" (1996). The following year he gained more praise for his role in the crime drama "Raakh" (1989), playing a man consumed by revenge and violence. He won the Best Newcomer Award from Filmfare for his performance, the Indian equivalent of the Oscars.

His first major breakthrough as an actor came in the romance "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak" (1988), where he played the lead role of Raj. Although the charming star is best known for his acting, Khan has proved himself as a screenwriter, director and producer as well. Aamir Khan is one of India's most formidable and durable filmmaking talents.
