Aamir Khan
  • Aamir Khan was spotted in a new, younger look at Zoya Akhtar’s office.
  • Aamir Khan sporting black hair and a short black beard.
  • Aamir was always seen in white hair and beard before dying it black a few weeks ago.

Aamir Khan was recently spotted at director Zoya Akhtar’s office with a fresh, younger appearance. For a change, the actor wore black hair and a short black beard. Before coloring his hair black a few weeks ago, Aamir has always been spotted with white hair and a beard since the premiere of his movie Laal Singh Chaddha.
Aamir was seen in his most recent outing sporting a grey sweater, black jeans, and boots. Also, he was sporting spectacles and a backpack slung over his shoulder. He cheerfully smiled for the photographers and gave them the thumbs up sign.

Aamir has had white hair for a long time, as seen in a few pictures. For his daughter Ira Khan’s engagement reception in November of last year, he kept the same appearance.

Aamir wore black hair to his reunion with his 3 Idiots co-stars Sharman Joshi and R Madhavan last month. In addition to promoting his Gujarati flick Congrats, Sharman posted a video from a stadium. They were all three observed wearing red uniforms. In the video, Madhavan approaches Sharman while he is attempting to talk about his Gujarati film Congrats and interrupts him. Sharman attempts to speak again but Aamir cuts him off. The title of the movie confuses both Aamir and Madhavan.

In August of last year, Aamir’s movie Laal Singh Chaddha was released. The movie received favorable to inconsistent reviews, but it failed to generate the necessary response at the box office. After that, he avoided the spotlight and made a rare appearance at the Salaam Venky film launch starring Kajol. In the movie, he made a cameo.

When asked what was keeping him occupied right now, Aamir responded, “Nahin main kuch nahin kar raha hoon. Ek saath lagatar kaam kiya hai bahut saalon se. Toh is waqt main thoda waqt family ke saath guzaarna chah rah hoon aur Paani foundation ka kaam chal rah hoon, aur bhi kaam hoon. Ek saal ke baad aaunga acting thoda.
(I am not doing anything at present. For years I’ve been working continuously, so I decided to spend some time with my family. I am also working on Paani Foundation. There is other stuff as well. As far as acting is concerned, I’ll return after a year).”

R Madhavan reacts to those who believe he doesn’t need to attend role auditions

by
R Madhavan
  • R Madhavan has reacted to a clip shared by HT City from his audition for the role of Farhan Qureshi in 3 Idiots.
  • Helmed by Rajkumar Hirani, 3 Idiots is a 2009 film produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
  • Starring Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor, Boman Irani, and Omi Vaidya.

An excerpt from actor R Madhavan’s audition for the character of Farhan Qureshi in the movie 3 Idiots was released by HT City. 3 Idiots, a 2009 movie directed by Rajkumar Hirani, was made by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The movie also stars Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor, Boman Irani, and Omi Vaidya in addition to Madhavan.

R Madhavan repeated numerous lines in a video that HT City just released on Twitter while applying for the 2009 movie. Its post’s caption read, “The audition tape for @ActorMadhavan to play Farhan Qureshi in the movie 3 Idiots has gone viral, leading many to claim that Madhavan didn’t need to try out for the part. Madhavan, R. Madhavan, three fools from Bollywood, viral videos, and more.”

Madhavan replied in response: “Heyyy.. too kind, thank you.. but I insist on going through the audition process for any role I take on, so I don’t have to take the test on the first day of filming (grinning face with smiling eyes, grinning face with star eyes and folded hands emojis). The importance of auditioning cannot be overstated (red heart and hug emojis).”

Supporters praised R Madhavan’s response. Someone remarked, “Maddy said it well! Being a competent actor does not automatically make one the ideal choice for a part. Moreover, auditions provide artists the necessary humility and challenge. More respect and love for you.” “I completely agree with you that you must be a different person for each character. Hence, it is absolutely correct that you conduct auditions for that particular character “said a different supporter. “No wonder you were chosen n the film still reminds me of how beautifully you all acted,” read one tweet.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra Productions posted the footage for the first time on Instagram last month. “@actormaddy’s 3 Idiots audition is evidence that he was always intended to play Farhan Quereshi,” the caption said. Do you see any dialogues that weren’t included in the final version of the film? Please share your favorites in the comments section. A fan responded, “He doesn’t need any auditions,” in response to it. “He is undoubtedly one of the finest actors,” read a comment. Someone else said, “Quality acting.”

Sharman Joshi posted a video on Instagram earlier this month showing his 14-year reunion with his 3 Idiots co-stars Aamir and Madhavan. “3 idiots are promoting the Congrats film, which is releasing today,” Sharman wrote as the caption for the video.

R Madhavan is criticized on Twitter for his “Islamophobia”

by
R Madhavan
  • An old video of actor R Madhavan has resurfaced.
  • Shows him telling a joke about polygamy and Muslim men.
  • Internet users have slammed the actor for ‘Islamophobia’.

An old video of the actor R Madhavan telling a joke about polygamy and Muslim males has surfaced. The actor has received criticism online for his “Islamophobia.”
In the video, Madhavan is heard saying, “He is a highly intelligent doctor; a gastroenterologist. He received a call from Mr. Abdul, one of his patients, who said, “Doctor Saab, my wife is very, very ill. She can’t sit because she is in excruciating agony and has a stomachache. Could I visit your clinic? Yes, by all means, the doctor replied. Abdul had done his research and, like other patients today, used the internet to say that she might be sick with this particular illness.

The doctor told him not to worry, the actor said. After examining her, he informed him that she had an infected appendix. She will be OK after the procedure I must perform. She was OK after the procedure was finished. Abdul was content. Abdul called the physician once more a year later and said, “Sir, my wife has a stomach ache. Please perform the appendix procedure, and she will be OK.”

“Doctor said, “Listen, I’m the doctor, let me diagnose, bring her to the clinic, and then we’ll repair it. Madhavan went on to describe how Abdul was pleading with the doctor to schedule an operation right once and to ignore the prognosis altogether.

“The physician eventually snapped and yelled, “Listen, I’m the physician; let me make the diagnosis. There is only one appendix in a human body, which I have already removed. So please don’t instruct me on how to carry out my duties. Abdul waited for the doctor to complete his statements before shyly responding, “Sir, I agree with you.” Every individual can only have one appendix, however men can have two wives, right?”.

Recently, businessman Harsh Goenka tweeted the video, and the reply area was inundated with people criticizing the actor for his Islamophobia. “@ActorMadhavan ka Abdul se fixation jaa nahi raha hai (Madhavan’s obsession with Abdul does not fade),” one of the users tweeted. Islamophobia.”

“Would you have laughed as hard if Rama Prasad had played the role instead of Abdul, and would @ActorMadhavan have made the joke if Ranganathan was the target of the joke? Let me add these emojis to make this tweet funny (laughing face),” one of them wrote.

Didn’t anticipate this from him, said another. A great actor may not, however, be a wonderful person, as the saying goes. Many of my non-Muslim acquaintances remarried after their first marriage ended in divorce. Some even got remarried after a short while. Therefore, the narrative about the second wife is nothing but animosity.

by

  • In the 2009 Rajkumar Hirani film, they played the popular characters of Rancho, Farhan and Raju.
  • The main cast of 3 Idiots reunite after 14 years on Instagram.

After 14 years, the 3 Idiots main cast finally came together on Instagram, much to the pleasure of fans. Ahead of the Gujarati film Congratulations’ release, actors Aamir Khan and R Madhavan joined co-star Sharman Joshi as he posted a video. They portrayed the well-known roles of Rancho (Aamir), Farhan (Madhavan), and Raju in the 2009 Rajkumar Hirani movie (Sharman). A few fans also desired a sequel with the return of their favorite characters.

The Gujarati movie Congratulations, which Sharman also produced, was the subject of a video that he posted on Instagram on Friday. He stated, “Three idiots are marketing the today-releasing movie “congratulations”,” in his writing. The actor is attempting to introduce his movie when Madhavan approaches and inquires about it. They act out a scene in which Madhavan and Aamir Khan subsequently misunderstand the film’s title and believe Sharman is thanking them instead.

Eventually, after becoming frustrated, he requests that the camera accompany him to the side so that he can try recording the promo again. On a cricket field, the three performers are clad in identical red costumes. A black jacket is draped over the uniforms of Aamir and Madhavan, and Aamir is also sporting leg protectors.

Manasi Parekh, Sharman’s co-star in Congratulations, tweeted, “This is awesome!!!!” Mansi Joshi Roy, his sister, wrote, “Haha amazing,” in contrast. The couple’s reunion pleased their supporters. “So lovely to see you guys together after so long,” a fan exclaimed. Another person said, “Sir isska aik portion aur banna chahie” (another movie needs to be made). We want a third installment of the “3 Idiots” film, another fan said in support of the proposal. “On my god the greatest character of Indian movie Rancho, Raju, and Farhan,” a third person commented.

Congratulations, a film by Rehan Chaudhary, stars Sharman as a man who becomes pregnant because his wife can’t have a child after having a miscarriage. The actor’s last appearance was in the Indian movie Babloo Bachelor (2021). Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), the authorized Hindi version of the Tom Hanks-starring film Forrest Gump, was Aamir’s most recent endeavor (1994). In the biopic Rocketry: The Nambi Effect about physicist Nambi Narayanan, which he also acted in last year, R Madhavan made his directorial debut.

  • The Nambi Effect, the long-awaited biography about Nambi Narayanan directed by R Madhavan, has finally arrived in theatres.

Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, the long-awaited biography about Nambi Narayanan directed by R Madhavan, has finally arrived in theatres. In a recent interview, the actor divulged information about his involvement in several departments for the film. On being questioned, “You have not only acted in the film, but you have directed it, you have produced it and you have written it. What was about it that got you so consumed?”

The actor and director replied, “Let me tell you how it happened in the first place, in the sense that when as an actor people told me that in this particular film a guy is acting, directing, writing the script as well as the lyrics, I use to snigger because I use to think that it was the end of that film.”

“There is no way that anybody in today’s world can take care of all those departments that require high levels of expertise, that are unheard of, and still pull off a film that is effective. But as far as this is concerned, I did not have a choice. I did not think this was a pragmatic, logical, or even a sensible decision.”

“It happened that I heard Nambi Narayanan’s story from somebody who said there was a good-looking ISRO scientist who had an affair with a Maldivian woman and because of that he sold secrets of Indian rocketry to Pakistan. He was arrested, tortured, and almost killed, and then he came out and proved that he was innocent.”
