Aamir Khan: Acting's My True Calling Again!

During the concluding Fireside Chat at IFFI 2025, superstar Aamir Khan announced a major career redirection. He confirmed a full-time return to acting once his current producing projects, such as 'Lahore 1947,' are completed in the coming months. From that point forward, Khan will exclusively focus on scripts intended for him as an actor.

Khan elaborated on his filmmaking philosophy, highlighting a deep-seated inclination towards stories that ignite his emotional excitement, often diverging from conventional industry norms. He recalled that many of his most successful films, like 'Lagaan,' were viewed as impractical risks by industry standards but ultimately resonated with audiences. This approach underscores his reliance on instinct over calculated trends.

Reflecting on his passion for filmmaking, Khan expressed a long-held desire to direct but acknowledged that it would necessitate stepping away from acting due to its all-consuming nature. He is currently in the process of reviewing new scripts, with a few having particularly captured his interest. The session concluded with Khan being honored, marking a memorable end to his participation at IFFI 2025.
