Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan were brought together by Karan Johar in his most recent Koffee With Karan 7 episode. He blamed Aamir Khan for the change in Bollywood’s tone that the South’s cinema has undergone. Karan’s perception is incorrect, according to Aamir Khan, who further argued that his films have always catered to the general public. He also emphasised what today’s filmmakers are missing.
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Aamir Khan featured on episode 7 of Koffee With Karan. The trio discussed a variety of topics, including the South vs. North controversy and Laal Singh Chaddha.
Karan Johar questioned why South films are successful at the box office and what Bollywood is lacking on the show. He blamed Aamir Khan for the change in mood as well.
Asked Aamir by Karan Johar, “You’ve always had a solid intellectual grasp of movies. From Pushpa RRR and KGF to Baahubali, the success of South Asian movies has been immense. And a few of our movies haven’t been successful. Does the tonality of our movies change as a result of these South Asian movies?”
He continued to accuse Aamir, saying, “That was a staple of Hindi cinema; we let it go, and you’re to blame. Dil Chahta Hai and Lagaan both featured fresh cinematic sensibilities and syntax in 2001. Then, Taare Zameen Par and Rang De Basanti took place. You began producing for a certain audience.”
With maturity, Aamir Khan stated that Karan Johar’s interpretation of the situation was incorrect. Aamir clarified his position by saying, “You are mistaken. My whole filmography consists of heartland Hindi movies. The common guy was moved by the emotions in each of these movies. Taare Zameen Par made connections with every family with children. The film Rang De Basanti resonated with the general public. I’m not advising you to produce crass or action movies. Make a quality movie, but pick a theme that is current. Every filmmaker is able to select any topic. However, if you choose a subject in which the majority of Indians are not interested, your movie will still be a niche one. And that was a decision you made as soon as the movie began. Most of us are unaware of this.”
