Aamir Khan was told he would lose his reputation after this Imran Khan film: ‘Aapka naam mitti mein mil jayega'
Actor Imran Khan had a short but impactful time in the movies in the late 2000s-early 2010s. The actor appeared in films like Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Na and Delhi Belly in this period which continue to be loved by his fans. In a new interview, Imran shared that people around his uncle Aamir Khan, who was also the producer of Delhi Belly, had a very negative reaction to the Abhinay Deo film. He recalled that despite the negative reactions, Aamir stood by the movie. In a conversation shared on the YouTube channel Scene1Take1, Imran said that after they finished shooting the film, they had a small screening with the first cut. This was at Aamir's office and a few people, including Imran, Abhinay, writer Akshat Verma, a few of Aamir's friends and some staff members from the office were present at the screening. 'When it ended, Aamir's very close family friend, he said, 'Aamir what have you done? What have you made?' He pointed at me and said, 'Tu iska career barbaad kar dega (You will destroy his career).' He said, 'Aamir, tu meri maan (listen to me), don't release this film. Bury the negative,'' he said. Imran Khan recalled that Aamir Khan's security personnel at the time also disliked the film. 'Aamir's security guy at that time, he chimed in and said, 'Sir, aaj tak aapne jo bhi naam kamaya hai, mitti mein mil jayega sab. Agar aap iss picture ko release karenge, aapka naam mitti mein mil jayega (Sir, whatever name you have made for yourself, it will all be destroyed. If you release this film, you will be destroyed).' They just piled on him. They were like, 'This film is terrible, it's offensive, obscene, ugly, disgusting. It's a bad film.' The entire feedback was, 'Burn the negative. Don't let anybody find out that you have made this film,'' he recalled.
