Nani, the celebrated Telugu film star, recently offered a glowing tribute to Bollywood icon Aamir Khan, shedding light on the profound influence Khan has had on Indian cinema. In a recent discussion, Nani delved into Khan’s remarkable career, highlighting his unwavering commitment to his craft.
Nani reminisced about a pivotal phase in Khan’s career, marked by a string of impactful films such as ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, ‘Rang De Basanti’, and ‘Lagaan’. These movies not only defined an era but also set new benchmarks in Indian cinema. “Aamir sir was at his peak during that time,” Nani noted. “He delivered unique, emotionally charged experiences with each film, showcasing immense effort and originality.”
What stands out for Nani is Khan’s meticulous approach to his work. “He never took a single shot for granted. His dedication to every aspect of filmmaking was extraordinary,” Nani emphasized. This unwavering commitment is what continues to inspire actors across the industry, according to Nani.

Despite his illustrious career, Khan remains reflective about his work. Recently, he addressed the mixed reception of his film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. Despite high anticipation, the film struggled to resonate with audiences. Khan admitted that one of the creative choices—modifying his voice pitch to differentiate his portrayal from Tom Hanks’ role in ‘Forrest Gump’—might have contributed to the film’s underwhelming performance. Hanks’ performance was characterized by subtlety, and Khan’s decision to deviate from this proved to be a challenging risk.
Nevertheless, Khan is not one to dwell on setbacks. He’s already channeling his experiences into his upcoming project, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’. In this new film, Khan stars alongside Genelia Deshmukh and also takes on the role of producer through his banner, Aamir Khan Productions. The film is set to hit theaters on December 25, and Khan’s dedication to the project promises to deliver a compelling cinematic experience.
As always, Aamir Khan’s resilience and passion for filmmaking continue to captivate and inspire, reinforcing his status as one of Bollywood’s most dedicated and influential figures.
