In his career spanning four decades, Aamir Khan has witnessed quite a few ups and downs. While he celebrates the successes, he holds his failures ‘close to his heart’, as he said, because they have all taught him some invaluable lessons. He also mentioned his hesitancy in discussing his 2018 big-budget film ‘Thugs of Hindostan’, which emerged as a dud at the box office.
In a recent interview, Aamir was asked about the new level of heft in his films, having reached there after starting as a romantic lead. He joked at roles like these. This season, the audience will see a human and vulnerable side of these seasoned police officers. I can proudly say this, ‘Delhi Crime’ is a reflection of our passion for storytelling and the craft and we can’t wait for the audience to watch it,” the 49-year-old actor, who currently stars in Alia Bhatt-led ‘Darlings’, said in a statement.
The second season, which will debut on ‘Netflix’ on August 26, follows a series of ghastly murders in Delhi that keeps Chaturvedi and her team on their toes.
“With escalating public fear and the media demanding answers, Madam Sir is forced to make some tough choices. Will the Delhi Police force manage to track down these ruthless criminals in time?” the official plotline for season two read.
Much like its first season, which won the best drama series honour at the 48th International Emmy Awards in 2020, the upcoming instalment is also inspired by true events.
Filmmaker Richie Mehta, who directed the first season, is attached as the creator of season two.
Tanuj Chopra is the showrunner and director of the second season, which is penned by Mayank Tewari, Shubhra Swarup and Ensia Mirza.
Adil Hussain, Anurag Arora, Sidharth Bhardwaj round out the cast. first, “Are you talking about ‘Thugs of Hindostan’? Just kidding.” When the interviewees said that they would talk about Thugs in time, Aamir quickly said, “I’d rather not.”
When asked about his dream project, ‘Mahabharata’, Aamir Khan said, “When you’re making ‘Mahabharat’, you’re not making a film, you’re doing a yagna. It’s not a film, it’s much deeper than that. So, I’m not ready for that. I’m afraid to bring it out to the fore. Mahabharat will never let you down, you might let it down.”
Explaining further how sometimes his calculations have gone wrong, Aamir said, “I give a lot of thought to what went wrong. See a film that doesn’t work, is an opportunity. You learn exactly where it’s gone wrong. Wherever I am today, is because of my failure and not my success. I hold my failures close to my heart because those are the ones have struggled with the most. But they teach you a lot. So, I value my failures a lot.” He added that he hopes that his upcoming film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ will touch people’s hearts and resonate with the audience.
Considering Bollywood is going through a rough patch at the box office, Aamir had earlier expressed his worry about film’s eventual outcome.
