Aamir Khan Faces Backlash For Posting About Operation Sindoor Hours Before Sitaare Zameen Par Trailer Launch
New Delhi:
The trailer of Aamir Khan's much-awaited film Sitaare Zameen Par was launched on May 13. Hours before the film's trailer launch, the X handle of Aamir Khan Productions shared a post saluting the heroes of Operation Sindoor. The Internet thrashed Aamir Khan heavily for posting a message on the Operation Sindoor hours before the film's trailer launch, seemingly to get the limelight.
A user wrote, "Kucha jada jaldi nahi kar di post? (Haven't you posted too early)?"
Another comment read, "We as Indian should just ignore these morons @AKPPL_Official @iamsrk, @BeingSalmanKhan, @saifalikhan067. They earn their money here in India but at the time of adversity they want to show how intellectual they are. Probably they are also under the illusion about 72 virgins."
Another comment read, "Dekho koi movie ka announcement bhi ata hoga... Ye paise k liye bolte h lekin dil m Turkey and Pakistan h."
Another comment read, "Bahut jldi yaad aayi? Movie release ki date ko 10-20 saal aage bda do, fayde m rhoge. Wrna public itna pelegi k jaisi laal singh ki chaddi pili hue thi."
The message read, "Salute to the heroes of Operation Sindoor. Heartfelt gratitude to our armed forces for their courage, bravery, and unwavering commitment to the security of our nation. Thank you to the Honourable Prime Minister for his leadership and determination. Jai Hind." Take a look:

On April 22, 26 civilians, mostly tourists were killed in the Baisaran valley, Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir in the deadliest terror attack of the time. In response, India targeted Pakistan and POK-based terror hideouts on May 7 under the codename of Operation Sindoor. While a large section of Bollywood praised India's Pahalgam response, Aamir Khan chose to remain silent.

'Thug Life' box-office report: Kamaal Haasan's magnum opus scores lower than 'Vikram ' and 'Indian 2' on day 1, loses momentum on day 2
Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan 's much-anticipated crime drama Thug Life, helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Mani Ratnam , had a fair opening at the Indian box office . Despite debuting on a non-holiday Thursday, the film managed to attract a sizeable audience, though it is anticipated that Friday collections may dip before possibly rebounding over the weekend. However, when stacked against Kamal Haasan's previous high-grossing releases, Thug Life started off on a relatively subdued note. Early box office tracking data from Sacnilk revealed that Thug Life garnered a net domestic earning of ₹17 crore on its opening day. While this figure reflects a healthy turnout given the regional ban in Karnataka, it still lags behind Haasan's earlier films. Pre-release ticket sales were reportedly strong, with advance bookings amounting to approximately Rs 13.89 crore net. Unfortunately, the momentum didn't carry into the film's second day. Preliminary estimates show that Friday collections dropped to around Rs 7 crore. As of now, the total earnings across the first two days hover around Rs 23 crore—a figure that signals a modest start for a film of this scale. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: 1 simple trick to get all TV channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo Comparing opening-day revenues, Thug Life delivered Kamal Haasan's weakest first-day performance among his latest trio of films. His recent venture, Indian 2, directed by Shankar, despite receiving lukewarm feedback, pulled in Rs 25.6 crore net on Day 1. Meanwhile, Vikram, which was a massive box office success directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, opened to a record Rs 32.05 crore, cementing its place as one of Haasan's most financially successful projects. Thug Life's prospects were further dampened by a statewide ban in Karnataka, prompted by a controversial statement Haasan made regarding the Kannada language. While the movie saw releases in other regions, early viewer responses have been a mixed bag. Critics and audiences are divided in their reception, suggesting a challenging road ahead for the film's box office trajectory. About the Film Released in 2025, Thug Life is a Tamil-language action-crime drama directed by Mani Ratnam, who co-authored the screenplay with Kamal Haasan. The movie was jointly produced by Raaj Kamal Films International, Madras Talkies, and Red Giant Movies. Alongside Haasan and Silambarasan, the ensemble cast includes Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, Rohit Saraf, and Baburaj. The film marks the first collaboration between Haasan and Ratnam since the iconic Nayakan in 1987.
