Did Aamir Khan issue apology after 'Laal Singh Chaddha' debacle?

Superstar Aamir Khan left netizens confused after an apology video was uploaded on Instagram page of Aamir Khan Productions.

The clip began with the words 'Michami Dukkadam' which roughly translates to 'may all my improper actions be inconsequential'. A voice was heard saying, as words appeared on a black screen, "All of us are human beings and we only make mistakes. Sometimes through our words and sometimes by our actions, at times we do it without knowing and at times when we are angry."


"We also hurt people with our jokes and sometimes without talking. If I have hurt your feelings in any way ever then I ask for your forgiveness with my heart, promise and being." The video ended with 'Michami Dukkadam'," the clip stated.

The theme from actor Shah Rukh Khan's film Kal Ho Na No played as the background music.

Reacting to the post, a user commented, "Seems like someone has hacked his account."

"Apology for laal Singh Chaddha failure?" Another one wrote.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
