Aamir Khan opens up about setbacks after his big debut

Entertainment Dec 07, 2025

Aamir Khan recently shared at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2025 how, right after his hit debut in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, he hit a rough patch.
Feeling the need to keep up with other actors, he signed movies without working with directors he truly believed in—which led to several box office flops and some tough lessons early on.

How it changed his approach—and what's next

That experience taught Khan to never compromise on quality, even when people called him a "one film wonder."
Now, he's extra careful about picking scripts and collaborators.
After Sitaare Zameen Par, he's gearing up for a Dadasaheb Phalke biopic and a superhero film with Lokesh Kanagraj—in line with his renewed approach to choosing projects.
