Aamir’s Next: Farhan’s Special Role Creates Big Curiosity

Aamir Khan’s sports drama with Ashutosh Gowariker is once again in the headlines. A new update has revealed that Farhan Akhtar has joined the main cast.

The movie will be based on Lala Amarnath. Farhan is reportedly being chosen to portray the cricketer’s friend from Pakistan. An insider for Mid-Day said that the character stayed in Pakistan after the partition. Although it won’t be a lead, the role is going to be an extended special appearance.

The producers are currently silent on the matter for now. But this is going to bring back the memories of Dil Chahta Hai. The pair had worked together years ago. Critics believe that this recall factor will easily attract crowds to the big screen.

On the other hand, the latest development is receiving a mixed response online. A few praised the fact that Farhan and Aamir will work together again.

But a particular section is concerned about the character for which Farhan has been selected. Most of them addressed the fact that this is not the right decision. They recalled the fact that India and Pakistan’s relations are not how it used to be. This is expected to lead to some criticism.

However, some said that the makers are well aware of the ongoing situation. Based on that, there is no chance that they will glorify the other country. Aamir’s fans also responded, stating that the actor won’t take such a big risk in a period where his career is suffering.

Another section said that Ashutosh must adapt himself to today’s audience so that the film works at the box office. But everything will be clear once a teaser or trailer arrives.
