"Aamir Sir is one of the biggest superstars this country has ever seen,' says Sohum Shah as he praises Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par

Sohum Shah recently took to Instagram to express admiration for Bollywood's Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan, following the success of his recently released film, Sitaare Zameen Par. The heartfelt story, which has struck a chord with audiences across the country, has reignited conversations around the power of emotionally resonant and meaningful storytelling in mainstream cinema. In his Instagram story, Sohum wrote, "Aamir Sir is one of the biggest superstars this country has ever seen, yet he chooses to lead with stories instead of just his stardom. The success of Sitaare Zameen Par gave me immense hope as a filmmaker — a reminder that stories with heart do matter. Thank you, Aamir Khan, for inspiring us to believe in meaningful cinema." Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual sequel to the 2007 cult classic Taare Zameen Par, has received critical acclaim for its sensitive portrayal of children with learning disabilities and its emphasis on empathy, education, and emotional well-being. Aamir Khan, who starred in both films, has long been known for choosing scripts that push cinematic boundaries while delivering powerful social messages. He is also someone who has proved through the decades that standing by the stories he believes should be told, stories with heart matter, and cinema can be an inclusive, emotional, and commercial experience. Sohum Shah immensely admires Aamir Khan Sohum has previously expressed admiration for Aamir Khan's approach of making one film at a time, but with complete dedication, whilst backing stories with all his heart, and that one should have the humility and courage to tell these stories. His ideology closely aligns with that of the 'Perfectionist' Aamir Khan. A prime example of this is representation of the differently abled in mainstream cinema - While Sitaare Zameen Par explores the world of individuals with learning disabilities and tells us a story of hope, inclusivity and equality, Sohum has also delved into a similar space with his film Crazxy - wherein the lens of telling the story was more layered in a thriller, but the heart was empathy, love and acceptance of children with disabilities. This is undoubtedly a courageous step, bringing such narratives into mainstream cinema. It reflects an inclusive approach, one that believes everyone should have representation, and offers an empathetic lens through which we view their stories. Sohum Shah, best known for his roles in films like Tumbbad, Ship of Theseus and Crazxy, the new in the list, is himself a champion of offbeat, content-driven cinema. His words of appreciation for Khan reflects a broader shift in the Indian film industry, where audiences are increasingly valuing substance over spectacle.

Randeep Hooda says Chris Hemsworth, John Cena rehearse for weeks while action is designed around Sunny Deol, Salman Khan: ‘They are more worshipped'

Over the last five years, Randeep Hooda has emerged as a formidable action star, whether it's in his Hollywood debut, Sam Hargrave's 2020 Netflix India action thriller Extraction or more recently, his antagonist turn in Gopichand Malineni's Bollywood directorial debut Jaat. Hooda has also worked with seasoned action stars across the globe, whether it's Chris Hemsworth and John Cena in the West, or Sunny Deol and Salman Khan back home. In an interview with Mid-day, Randeep said, 'The action is designed around them (Sunny Deol and Salman Khan). They're both great. When you see them, you feel they can do it.' He added, 'They're stars before the advent of the internet. They were rare commodities. Now, you know what every star is doing or eating, it's all available on their social media. They have their persona, and that's what I was trying to aim for.' Randeep Hooda also claimed that Sunny Deol and Salman Khan have reached a point in their careers when action is designed around them, instead of them trying to fit into the action choreography. He pointed out that Hollywood action stars like John Cena and Chris Hemsworth have a different approach in comparison. 'The difference is they come and rehearse for weeks and weeks before they do it. Me and Chris were rehearsing for six weeks before we did them. It looks real. That happens with rehearsals, like in theatre. They're not as worshipped as our Indian male stars are, and that's probably what keeps it somewhere real,' argued Randeep. When he went on the sets of Extraction and had a long action sequence with Chris Hemsworth, Randeep Hooda realized he's never even punched anybody on a film set despite his macho onscreen image. 'That was 2019. So for 19 years, I had the image of this tough guy in various roles, but I never punched anybody. I had to learn how to take and give a punch. It's much like dance. You feel like you've done a lot, and then one morning, you wake up and realize, 'Man, I haven't done anything (laughs),'' said Randeep. Randeep will soon reunite with Extraction director Sam Hargrave for the latter's action adventure comedy Matchbox, which also stars John Cena. It's slated to release in cinemas next year. Randeep recently locked horns with Sunny Deol in Jaat, whereas he's worked with Salman Khan in three films so far — Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick (2014), Ali Abbas Zafar's Sultan (2016), and Prabhu Deva's Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai (2021). Also Read — Randeep Hooda says Bollywood is 'threatened' by him, ignored his meaty role in Extraction while other actors do major campaigns for tiny parts in Hollywood: 'I got no work' Randeep Hooda also claimed that Salman Khan is a friend now. 'He's very intelligent and creative, and I think a bit isolated now. He's given me a lot of advice over the years, which I haven't followed, on how to be nice and helpful to people. But he gives it to you in all earnestness and wants the best for you,' added Randeep.
