Aamir Khan: Ketan Mehta
built 251 days ago
By now Aamir slowly began reducing the films he was doing to concentrate on quality rather than quantity. Some major films where Aamir made a solid impact as always include Mahesh Bhatt's Hum Hain Raahi Pyaar ke (1993), Andaaz Apna Apna (1994), Ram Gopal Varma's Rangeela (1995), Mansoor Khan's Akele Hum Akele Tum (1995), Raja Hindustani (1996), Ishq (1997), Ghulam (1998) - where he sang the immensely popular song Aati Hai Khandala, Deepa Mehta's Earth: 1947 (1998) and Sarfarosh (1999). He did win the Filmfare Award for Raja Hindustani and sticking to his aversion of the Indian film award scenario, did not come to collect it!

Aamir began his career as a child actor in films like Yaadon Ki Baraat (1973) and Madhosh (1974). After eleven years, he made his adult acting debut playing a supporting role in Ketan Mehta's Holi (1984).

It would be another four years before Aamir had another release as he exclusively prepared for and gave full commitment to playing Mangal Panday in The Rising (2005). He grew his hair, his moustache, he lived and breathed Mangal Panday for four years. However the over-hyped final film, directed by Ketan Mehta, looking at the man who was the catalyst for the1857 uprising against the British was a major dud in all departments including Aamir's over-studied performance.
