Is Aamir Khan making a film on the Meghalaya Murder Case? Actor responds
'There is no truth to these reports,' the actor said firmly. 'I honestly don't know where these stories start.'
The rumours had been steadily gaining traction, with various outlets suggesting that Khan was not only conceptualising a film inspired by the case but was also actively monitoring developments related to it.
The buzz intensified after a Times Now report cited unnamed sources allegedly close to Khan, claiming, 'Aamir Khan is closely following the updates on the Meghalaya murder case. He has personally tracked and discussed with his close circle the updates on the details. There might be a development on the subject from his production too.'
Despite the media speculation, Khan and his production house have made no official announcements linking them to the case or any project based on it. The lack of concrete confirmation did little to stop the rumour mill from spinning—until now.
As it stands, Khan appears to have no involvement—creative or otherwise—with any film related to the Meghalaya murder case. His focus, for now, remains on upcoming projects that have been officially announced.
Aamir Khan was last seen in 'Sitaare Zameen Par', which was an official remake of the 2018 Spanish film, 'Campeones'. It is also a spiritual sequel to 'Taare Zameen Par'.
Directed by RS Prasanna, the film followed a suspended basketball coach who must serve community service by helping a team of players with disabilities prepare for a tournament.

This film was rejected by Hrithik Roshan, another superstar did, became blockbuster, made on budget of Rs 30 crore, earned more than 100 crore, movie name is…, lead actors were…
In mid-2000s, an intriguing film project began circulating within Bollywood circles. The script promised a blend of romance and suspense, set against a backdrop of political intrigue.

However, Rehan harbors a dangerous secret that intertwines their love story with themes of terrorism and national security that later becomes his dilemma as he has to choose his unconditional love for Zooni or a deadly chaos. Why Hrithik Roshan rejected Fanaa? Interestingly, as per IMDb trivia, before Aamir Khan took on the role of Rehan, the part was offered to Hrithik Roshan. Reports suggest that Hrithik declined the role, possibly due to scheduling conflicts or reservations about the character's morally ambiguous nature.

Exes Disha Patani, Tiger Shroff Twin In Black At Mouni Roy's 'Salakaar' Premiere
Last Updated: Exes Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff twinned in black at Salakaar premiere. The duo, once rumoured to be dating, made stylish solo appearances. Watch here! Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff, who were once one of Bollywood's most talked-about couples, made headlines for their twinning fashion moment. The rumoured ex-couple was spotted at the premiere of Mouni Roy's new political thriller Salakaar, both dressed in coordinated black outfits that immediately caught attention. Disha Patani turned heads in a sizzling black shirt with unbuttoned detailing that added an effortlessly sultry vibe. She paired it with ripped micro denim shorts that showcased her toned legs, cinched with a chunky brown belt. Completing the bold ensemble were edgy black ankle boots and a sleek crossbody bag. Disha kept her hair loose and wavy, adding a carefree charm to the look, while her makeup was kept soft and dewy—allowing her outfit to steal the spotlight. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sanjay Tiwari (@bollywoodhelpline) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Snehkumar Zala (@sneyhzala) Tiger Shroff, on the other hand, exuded his signature cool in a black sheer shirt teamed with formal pants. He added a pair of aviators to the ensemble, giving it a stylish, understated edge. Though they arrived separately, the twinning colour palette didn't go unnoticed. While Disha and Tiger have never publicly confirmed their relationship or their split, reports suggested they broke up around mid-2022. Despite the apparent breakup, Disha continues to share a warm bond with Tiger's family. She often interacts with his mother Ayesha Shroff and sister Krishna Shroff on social media, and even received a sweet birthday wish from Ayesha earlier this year. At the Salakaar premiere, which took place ahead of the show's Independence Day release on JioHotstar, the former flames remained cordial and made solo appearances. The series, inspired by the life of national security advisor Ajit Doval, stars Mouni Roy and Naveen Kasturia. Tiger Shroff had previously dodged dating questions in an interview with Times Now, jokingly saying, 'Meri ek hi Disha hai life mein, aur wo hai mera kaam," cheekily avoiding giving away anything on his love life.

Rs 1,469 cr revenue for PVR INOX with net loss shrinking to Rs 54 cr in first quarter; box office collections rise by 22 percent
At a time when speculations and theories suggest that the show business in India is struggling to catch a break, particularly owing to the underperformance of Bollywood movies, the earnings registered by cinema halls tell a different story altogether. In the first quarter of the ongoing 2025-26 financial year that ended in June, multiplex giant PVR INOX's consolidated revenue rose by 23 percent to Rs 1,469 crore, with EBITDA margins reaching 27.04 percent, compared to Rs 1,191 crore during the same period last year, as per a report in CNBC TV18. With its consolidated net loss shrinking to Rs 54 crore from last time's Rs 179 crore, the firm has kicked off this fiscal year strongly. Box office collections reportedly increased by nearly 22 per cent, driven by a 12 percent rise in admissions and an 8 percent increase in average ticket prices. Now, film exhibitors and other stakeholders are hopeful that a recovery might be possible after all, following a prolonged rough patch, especially with many highly anticipated films gearing up for release in the coming months. Despite widespread claims that there were no takers for Bollywood films, the Hindi film industry contributed the most to PVR INOX's impressive run this time. While a total of 10 films crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in the quarter ended June 30, five — Raid 2, Sitaare Zameen Par, Kesari Chapter 2, Housefull 5 and Jaat — were Hindi movies, and three among them entered the Rs 200 crore club. As a result, PVR INOX's Bollywood box office collections surged by 38 per cent year-on-year (YoY). Hollywood films also had a strong showing during this period, with a 72 per cent YoY growth, fuelled by major successes like Mission: Impossible 8, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Ballerina and F1. Regional films such as Good Bad Ugly, Thudarum and Tourist Family also made substantial contributions. While the multiplex giant aims to introduce 100 new screens this year, it has already managed to open 20 of them. The company's CFO, Gaurav Sharma, told the publication that the food and beverage (F&B) segment also fared well during this quarter, recording a 23 per cent rise in revenue. The per-head spending, he added, reached its highest Q1 level ever. He also noted a 17 per cent increase in advertising revenue for PVR INOX.
