Aamir Khan is once again stepping behind the microphone, this time not for a one-off hit, but as a trained singer.
Nearly three decades after charming audiences with Aati Kya Khandala in Ghulam (1998), the Bollywood icon is lending his voice to two songs in his upcoming untitled comedy. Unlike his previous casual foray into playback singing, this time Aamir is fully prepared, having undergone years of vocal training.
Speaking about the project, Aamir shared that the film is a lighthearted comedy in the spirit of legendary filmmakers Basu Chatterjee and Hrishikesh Mukherjee. “It’s the kind of cinema we’ve forgotten how to make,” he said. “Sweet, innocent comedy. Nothing too heavy, no one’s going to die. Just that warm, wonderful feeling you used to get from films back then.”
Though Aamir only plays a cameo, he emphasized the role is significant—and made even more special by his contribution as a singer.
Aamir credited his singing development to years of training under vocal coach Sucheta Bhattacharjee. He added, “Since I sang Aati Kya Khandala, I’ve been taking classes in singing. I’m singing two songs in my own voice for this film.”
The music is being composed by Ram Sampath, known for his fresh and bold sound in Bollywood.
The actor also shared his deep admiration for the late Lata Mangeshkar, calling her influence a daily inspiration.
“My day begins with her songs. I miss Lata Didi very much. She was always warm and loving to me. I wish she could have heard what I’m working on now,” he said, fondly remembering their bond.
While the film’s title and release details remain under wraps, Aamir Khan’s return to singing adds a nostalgic yet novel twist to what promises to be a heartfelt cinematic experience. Fans will be watching closely, not just for the film’s storyline, but to hear how Bollywood’s perfectionist sounds as a polished playback singer in 2025.
