Bollywood perfectionist Aamir Khan, who recently took a voluntary sabbatical from the silver screen following the release of Laal Singh Chaddha, is gearing up for a major cinematic comeback. During a recent industry event, the superstar shared his evolved philosophy on success and confirmed a milestone in his career: for the first time in his thirty-year journey, he is juggling three major projects simultaneously.
Worship Saraswati, and Lakshmi Will Follow
Speaking about his approach to filmmaking and commercial success, Aamir Khan shared a profound piece of advice that he has lived by. He emphasized that his primary focus has always been on the quality of the craft rather than the financial outcome. “I have always believed that if you worship Saraswati (the goddess of knowledge and art), Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth) will naturally follow you,” Khan remarked. This philosophy underscores his reputation for being more concerned with the creative integrity of a script than the potential box-office numbers.
A Trio of Upcoming Projects
In a departure from his usual “one film at a time” rule, the actor revealed that his production house and acting schedule are currently packed with three distinct features. This marks a significant shift in his working style, as Khan is notoriously known for dedicating years to a single project to ensure its perfection.
1. Sitaare Zameen Par
The most anticipated among his upcoming works is Sitaare Zameen Par. While fans initially wondered if it was a direct sequel to his 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par, Khan clarified that while the theme of human emotion stays central, the new film takes a more comedic and uplifting tone. The movie is expected to explore themes of neurological diversity with a refreshing perspective.
2. Lahore, 1947
Aamir is also heavily involved in the production of Lahore, 1947, which stars Sunny Deol and is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. This collaboration has generated massive buzz, reuniting industry veterans for a historical drama set against the backdrop of the Partition.
3. An Untitled Project
While details remain under wraps, the third project is currently in the development stage, further cementing Khan’s busy calendar for the next two years. “I am enjoying the process of being back on set,” Khan added, noting that his break allowed him to reconnect with his family and return to work with a rejuvenated spirit.
With these three ventures, Aamir Khan is poised to reclaim his dominance at the Indian box office, proving that his dedication to “Saraswati” continues to be the driving force behind his legendary career.
