Aamir recently announced that instead of going towards the OTT route, he chose the pay-per-view model for his latest film. At a recent press conference in Mumbai, he insisted that he refused a Rs 125 crore deal from a major OTT platform because he wanted to get his film to the masses via YouTube. 'Almost 55 crore Indians visit YouTube in a single day,' he said and added, 'I thought that if I land on YouTube, I can showcase my content everywhere and because of UPI, all Indians can easily pay for it.'
Aamir shared that he launched his YouTube channel Aamir Khan Talkies with the same idea. He added that eventually, all films from his production house will be available on this channel at varying costs. The channel will also upload some content free of cost. Aamir suggested that they would also be curating content of new filmmakers and give them a platform via their channel.
Sitaare Zameen Par will be available on pay-per-view on YouTube India from August 1.

Jamie Lever recalls Farah Khan's hilarious reaction to her videos: 'My husband is showing them to our kids'

During the pandemic lockdown, while the entertainment industry was at a standstill, Jamie Lever , the daughter of legendary comedian Johnny Lever, found her moment to shine. Using social media as her stage, she captivated audiences with a series of brilliant and pitch-perfect impersonations of famous personalities like Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar , and Farah Khan . These viral videos not only established her as a breakout comedian in the digital space but also earned her direct praise from the very celebrities she was impersonating. Here's a closer look at what Jamie Lever said. Jamie Lever on the call changed the game During an open chat on Sapan Verma's YouTube show, Jamie Lever looked back on her rapid journey into viral fame and the surprisingly sweet responses that planned with it. One moment that stands out was, choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan called Jamie personally during lockdown. Jamie recalled the encounter with infectious laughter as she said that she had just started making videos when she got a morning call from Farah Khan. She said, 'Hello Jamie! Listen, what are you doing yaar? Please send me those videos!' Jamie didn't even recognize her voice at first and asked, 'Who is this?' Then Farah said, 'My husband is showing my kids your videos and telling them, this is exactly how your mother talks!' She went on to compliment Jamie. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo The episode not only served as validation from an industry insider but also marked a surreal checkpoint in Jamie's career, a reminder that even light-hearted mimicry can open doors to genuine admiration. Jamie Lever on the voice that she will never forget One of the most treasured moments in Jamie Lever's comedic journey was receiving an earnest phone call from none other than Lata Mangeshkar; a moment that Jamie reflects on with great honour and emotion. Jamie remembers Lena praising her mimicry, saying, "The way you mimic your father, it is just too good. And Asha is my sister; you imitate her very well too." Jamie closed the call with blessings by Lata; words that Jamie cherishes, a wonderful moment of artistic acknowledgement across generations. Jamie Lever on swapping corporate cubicles for a spotlight in comedy Before stepping into the world of entertainment full-time, Jamie Lever walked a more conventional path which was working as a Marketing Executive at a market research firm based in London, but the pull of performance proved stronger than spreadsheets. In 2012, she took the best step into comedy at 'The Comedy Store' where she could very much embrace the uncertainty of doing live stand-up. That allowed her to step into consistent and numerous opportunities as well as become a part of projects such as 'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon,' 'Housefull 4,' 'Bhoot Police,' and 'Pop Kaun?,' making the full transition between corporate calm and comic chaos.

'Mistake': Sadhvi Ritambhara Apologises For 'Earning Money Being Nude' Remark

After sparking outrage with her remark that she feels ashamed to see Hindu women earn money by being nude and performing dirty dances, spiritual leader Sadhvi Ritambhara has said she apologises if anyone has been hurt by her remarks, but she felt she had a right to say what she did because she was surrounded by her loved ones. The Padma Bhushan awardee's discourse at a gathering three months ago has now gone viral in which she says in Hindi, "Hindu women, oh God. I feel ashamed to see them. Will you earn money? Will you earn money by being naked? By doing dirty dances, singing dirty songs? I don't understand how their husbands, their fathers accept this?" "People should lead a life of decency... Women of India, don't mind my saying this..." she adds. Speaking exclusively to NDTV on Friday, the spiritual leader said she believes women play a key role in families and the nation and she was not targeting women, but keeping hope in their strength. "But being unrestrained cannot be called independence. Being undisciplined is not disciplined. This is my nature... When my pain reaches a point, I share it with my loved ones. This is an old video, which has gone viral. I was trying to say that a nation becomes great because of its citizens' behaviour," she said. Asked why such comments were not made for men, Sadhvi Ritambhara added, "If women were hurt by my emotional comments, then I will definitely apologise. But when you are in the middle of your loved ones, you speak thinking you have a right over them. I love those who are shattered, but it hurts when you see unrestrained behaviour like this. This has not been the role of Indians... I am also human, I should not have said what I said, maybe if I had said 'niravaran', or 'nirvastra' or filled with values..." Classical dance, she said, is very good but what does not look good is what is shown in the "so-called reels". "Indecent behaviour does not look good. And if a woman does it or five, 10, 100 do it, all women are tarnished," she said. "What I said was not for all Hindu women. I must have forgotten to say something in the flow of speech. I am an ordinary human, I made a mistake," the spiritual leader added. When young children watch such reels, she said, it poisons their mind and does not let them focus on making their lives better and striving for a good career. "Yes I should not have said the word. I made a mistake. I know the mothers of the country will forgive me... I apologise, but my country knows me," she said.
