Faissal Khan sought Shah Rukh Khan's help to mend relationship with brother Aamir: ‘Mannat ke bahar gaya tha'
Faissal says Shah Rukh didn't help him during fight with Aamir
As per Faissal, his and Aamir's family members were "poisoning" their relationship. 'I tried to contact a few film people. Big names, small names, who I met. Also, maine ye socha jo Aamir ke aas-pass hai wo toh usko chadha rahe hain. Maine kuch aise log jinke saath Aamir kaam kar chuka hai, unko contact karne ki koshish ki (I thought, those around Aamir are hyping him up. I'll try to contact those with whom Aamir has worked before),' he said.
Faissal talked about how he approached Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh. 'I tried to contact Aditya Chopra also. I went outside Yash Raj (Yash Raj Films), but they didn't give me an appointment. I left a note for him also. I tried to call Shah Rukh Khan also. He didn't entertain me. Mannat ke bahar gaya tha main (I went outside Mannat),' he added.
Faissal calls Aamir 'too powerful'
Calling Aamir "too powerful", he added that the celebrities 'soch rahe ki yeh to paagal hi hoga, Aamir bol raha. Aamir Khan perfectionist bol raha hai (they are thinking that this guy must be mad, Aamir had said. Aamir Khan, the perfectionist, has said)'. He said that they believed in Aamir.
What Faisal said about Aamir earlier
Earlier, Faisal had levelled allegations against Aamir and even fought a legal battle with his family in 2007-08. Speaking with Hindustan Times in 2008, after the court's verdict, Faisal had said, 'Frankly, I was never ill.. what has been said so far was speculative and spread by my elder brother Aamir Khan and other family members. In fact, I was kidnapped.. I was under house arrest, unwanted drugs were given to me. On the judgment day, judge saab announced that I'm not suffering from any illness.. and that I'm normal and capable of handling life on my own. I should be treated as a normal person.'
About Faissal's career
Aamir and Faissal starred together in Dharmesh Darshan's Mela. The 2000 film also featured Twinkle Khanna.
Faissal made his film debut in 1988, playing a villain in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. He has starred in films such as Madhosh (1994) and Chinar Daastaan-E-Ishq (2015).

‘If you put Shah Rukh Khan in Saiyaara, it will flop; Ahaan Panday doesn't have the personality to carry Jawan': Varun Badola
Actor Varun Badola, who appeared in the recent blockbuster Saiyaara, spoke about the film's two leads, the newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. He dismissed the suggestion that the era of stars is over, as many have been saying after the success of Saiyaara. Directed by Mohit Suri, the romantic drama has grossed over Rs 500 crore at the worldwide box office, ranking among the highest-grossing Hindi films of all time. It has also been compared to Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Maine Pyaar Kiya, and Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, all of which launched their respective stars – Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Hrithik Roshan. In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit on YouTube, Varun said, 'People are saying that this film has proven that we don't need stars anymore. That's not true. Abhi tum Ahaan Panday ko utha ke Jawan mein daalo, Jawan flop ho jayegi. Shah Rukh ko Saiyaara mein daal do, Saiyaara flop ho jayegi (Try putting Ahaan Panday in Jawan, Jawan will flop. Put Shah Rukh in Saiyaara, and Saiyaara will flop). Shah Rukh will suddenly become too big for the film, and Ahaan will not have the personality to run Jawan.' Also read – War 2 Movie Review LIVE Updates: Climax of Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR film 'mind-boggling', say early reviews Refusing to predict how Ahaan's career might pan out, Varun said that it all depends on the choices the young actor makes going forward. Produced by Aditya Chopra, Saiyaara was offered to Ahaan as a launchpad after a separate project he was attached to fell through. Varun said that the young actor has a solid screen presence, and that he was impressed with Aneet's grasp over Hindi. He also admitted that the father-son storyline in the film was very 'Bhatt camp', but that's understandable because Mohit Suri started out under Mahesh Bhatt. This isn't the first time that Varun has expressed apathy towards the film's success. In an interview with SCREEN, the actor called out the publicity team, and suggested that videos of overzealous fans might not be authentic. 'I saw the euphoria on Instagram. Log jo chudiyaan tod rahe hai, chaatiyaan peet rahe hai (People were breaking their bangles, beating themselves). I think the promotions team went a little overboard there, where people are going to see the film, putting IV drips. Those people must have been told to give content in some way; thank god, people didn't get their legs broken and went crawling to see the film,' he said.

War 2 Twitter review: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR shine, VFX receives mixed reviews, ‘poor man's Mission Impossible'
Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's much-awaited film War 2 released on 14 August. The latest installment in the YRF spy universe marks Jr NTR's Bollywood debut. It also stars Kiara Advani. As the first reviews of War 2 surface on X (formerly Twitter), fans appear divided about the film. While some praised the actors in the action sequences, others were disappointed by the weak storyline and subpar VFX. A user wrote, 'Interval of #War2, watching the first show in the UK and what a film! Haven't seen such a scale for any Bollywood film yet. The action, the class and the mass packed in the best manner. A whole new chapter for Spy Universe! Breaking conventions with stalwarts.' '#War2 An okayish action entertainer. Not great, not bad either - Strictly MID. Note: #NTR Fans should keep their expectations in check. There are moments where you whistle, but there are moments that will frustrate you but the ending sort of pulls it back and you will walk out of the theatre feeling somewhat satisfied,' another post read. Rating the film 3 out of 5, another fan shared what worked and what didn't in War 2: 'War 2 picks up after Tiger 3, pitting Hrithik Roshan's magnetic rogue RAW agent Kabir against Jr NTR's Special Units Officer Vikram in a stylish, globe-trotting action spectacle. Jr NTR makes a commanding Bollywood debut, bringing raw power, screen dominance, and an intense physicality to every scene. His sharp combat style, confident body language, and magnetic presence make his face-offs with Hrithik the film's biggest adrenaline moments, while his grace in Janaab-e-Aali shows his versatility beyond action. Fans call him a 'beast' on screen, though his role could have had more depth and screen time. The film's first half is slick and thrilling, packed with exotic locations, high-octane stunts, and the star power of its leads. Hrithik matches NTR's intensity with emotional weight and charisma, while Kiara Advani adds style despite limited narrative space. However, the predictable storyline, slower second half, and patchy VFX (notably the boat chase) stop it from reaching the freshness of the original War.' '#War2 is a strictly mediocre action thriller, leaning heavily on style over substance,' posted one more. '2nd half: good back story, but story falls flat & predictable. Lacks emotional connect. Both actors nailed their respective performances. @tarak9999 acting & looks will shut every hater. Result & BO depends on Coolie now. #War2Review #War2 #YRFSpyUniverse (sic),' shared a fan who was impressed by Hrithik and Jr NTR. Someone also reviewed saying, 'Kaapadu Thatha. Poor man Mission impossible.' War 2 is directed by Ayan Mukerji. It is clashing with Rajinikanth's Coolie at the box office.
