"Friends, as Indian citizens, this show is only a little bit of a contribution to our society. I would like to make it clear to the audience that I do not want to denigrate anyone, nor do I want to hurt anyone's feelings or judge anyone. Our society faces many problems, and we have no struggle against this, only avoidance. This will only appease the adultery and make the situation worse. My aim is simply to discuss these issues openly so that we can find a solution to the problem. "This is Indian superstar Aamir Khan from film for many years, in his reflections on the reality of film.
In his view, the function of film is not only entertainment, but also enlightenment and thinking about reality. Therefore, from the film for decades to give everything it has, do its best to pay and dedicate, not only for the dream, for the film, but also because of the understanding that reality will inevitably guide the film, the film will eventually illuminate the reality.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, he will become a scientist or doctor</h1> in the future
On March 14, 1965, Tahir Hussein looked at his son who had fallen to the ground and smiled, and then said, "This boy must become a scientist or a doctor in the future."
Tahir Hussein followed in his brother's footsteps and came to Mumbai, entering the film industry and becoming a producer. What Tahir Hussein did not expect was that this boy not only did not become a scientist or a doctor, but followed in his footsteps and opened up an era in the history of Indian cinema. The child's name is Amir Hussein Khan, aka Amir Khan.
Since He was in charge, Amir Khan has seen many people holding books and talking to their fathers about stories. Little Amir Khan sat silently next to him, listening to the story with great interest. Later, Amir Khan learned that the uncles were talking to their father about the script.
Although born into a film family, Tahir has experienced the ups and downs of the film industry and does not want his children to re-enter it. Aside from listening to the script, Tahir didn't expose Amir Khan to more film work, but he didn't stop Amir Khan from going down the film path.
Amir Khan, who is still studying, collaborated with his classmates on the short film "Paranoia". This shooting experience made Amir Khan hear a voice in his heart, "Film is my lifelong pursuit, not only as an actor, but to give me everything and do my best to complete it." ”
In the years that followed, Amir Khan spent decades of perseverance and hard work, constantly pursuing this inner voice.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, the first time into the film industry, a great success</h1>
Mansour took the script of "Cold and Warm World", and after flashing one protagonist after another in his mind, he finally chose Amir Khan, who was handsome, acting, and intelligent. Because he is tired of traditional stylized films, he believes that movies should not be limited to telling a story, but should resonate with the audience and society, so someone must be able to support him and break the tradition with him.
During the filming process, Mansour's deep understanding and grasp of the script and characters, and the seriousness and meticulousness of the whole film, let Amir Khan learn how to treat the film.
When the film was finished, distributors and the media were not interested, and Amir Khan went to the streets to distribute movie leaflets. Even if he later grew into a landmark figure in Indian cinema, there was a period of gloom and gloom.
In the era of heroism, the love drama "Cold and Warm World" brought a breeze to the entire film industry, and the film was a great success. Countless viewers were touched by amir Khan's sunshine, innocence, vulnerability and helplessness in the face of violence. Incredibly real and deeply moving.
The film made Amir Khan feel serious and real power. Since then, in his acting career, Amir Khan has done his best to tell every story well, let reality enter the movie, and let the movie shine into reality.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, fell to the bottom and set sail again</h1>
After "Cold and Warm People", Amir Khan took on a number of films, most of which ended in failure, and Amir Khan, who had no film contract, considered whether to become an actor. At this time, a failed director came to the door with the script of "Talking about Heart Not Talking About Gold". Amir Khan was impressed by the script, and the two failed men began to collaborate.
Director Indra Kumar later recalled that during filming, Amir Khan's acting skills and understanding of the character grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. "Talking about Heart Without Talking About Gold" was a great success, becoming the box office champion of the year, and Amir Khan, whose acting career was almost at the end, finally set sail again.
Amir Khan, who fell to the bottom and set sail again, began to reflect, signing nearly ten films when he first debuted, although there were also high-quality works, but bad films and failures almost ended his acting career, and he had to change. You have to listen to your own inner voice.
After that, Amir Khan only cared about the quality of the script, and did not consider things that had nothing to do with the film, such as the salary. Well-known directors, no suitable scripts are also insensitive, and strangers can cooperate with good scripts. Carefully choose the script, sincerely make the film, and sincerely tell the story.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > four, give me everything, do my best</h1>
In the time that followed, Amir Khan took every film seriously with all his or her efforts.
In order to play the role of the protagonist of "Radiant", spend a few months to experience life in the street gangs of Mumbai.
For the gangster movie "Ghulam", it took two years to train the figure of a boxer, and insisted on starting shooting at five o'clock every morning, because the director thought that this time sounded the best.
In order to shoot "Anti-Riot Hero", it took a year and a half to grow a long head and beard, because real hair is more natural than wigs, and spent a year and a half looking up the information of the protagonist Mangka, so that the characters perfectly coincided with the historical Mangka Pandi.
For the filming of "Unknown Death", three hours of devil training and 1,000 push-ups were performed every day to successfully create an eight-pack abs bodybuilding figure.
After filming "Unknown Death", then filming "Three Fools Bollywood". Amir Khan exercises, loses weight, destroys a muscle by hand, and plays badminton at 4 a.m. every day to keep the facial skin firm and make himself younger. Even if you have to shoot for more than ten hours a day.
Filming WrestleMania! Dad" worked hard to gain 30 kilograms, shoot the shot of old age, and then spend five months to regain his body shape and shoot the scenes of his youth.
Filming "Once Upon a Time in India" to learn the Awadi dialect, filming "My God" to learn the Bihar dialect. Not satisfied with his achievements and ease, Amir Khan continues to break the ordinary and shape the classic with extraordinary dedication and effort.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > five, he is more than just an actor</h1>
Amir Khan is an actor, a superstar, a key moment or a leader. On the 60th day of the shooting of "Winner is King", some of the actors quit without abiding by the agreement, the shooting was unsustainable, and the director was on the verge of collapse, Amir Khan encouraged the director, "It's okay, without them, we can do it", and then the film began to reshoot.
During the filming of "Once Upon a Time in India", the entire team members shared happiness and hardships, ate and lived together. The harsh shooting environment and the long shooting cycle are always cohesive.
The film had more than 10,000 group actors involved, guiding the group actors into the set, arranging dress-ups, and instructing how to perform, with Amir Khan all involved. In order to keep the crowd excited, Amir Khan also danced and sang his own popular film and television songs.
Damesh Dashan, director of "India Raja", commented, "If the actor is assisting the director, it means that he has a love for the film and has a kind of arrogance of "letting go and doing it".
For more than six months of shooting, Amir Khan has always fought side by side with the director, and at the same time inspired a huge team of more than 10,000 people to support him and follow him, and he proved his persistent pursuit of his dreams with his actions.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > six, he did not start any era, because he is an era</h1>
The movie "The Color of Barthaty" because of the lack of romance, no violence, a political story, the ending is not perfect, the first few films filmed by the national hero Bagt Singh were dismal at the box office, before the start of filming, it was very unfavorable. Director Rakesh Omprakasi Mehra took the script and ran around with no one to endorse and support it until amir Khan was found.
After listening to the script and finishing Rakesh's work, Amir Khan said, "I was persuaded by you. I love your script, and I love your narrative angle and shooting method, so let's get started! ”。
There are too few people willing to step out of their comfort zone, because it can mean risks and failures, but Amir Khan likes to go beyond the usual, likes to shape classics, likes to go to the top of the mountain and then go up to the clouds.
During the filming of the film, the difficulties such as the withdrawal of the producer and the budget overrun made the director Lakesh want to give up for a while. Amir Khan sent two words to Lakesh, "There are two ways to live in life: one is to endure the existing stereotypes, and the other is to take responsibility, rise up for change, and never be afraid." "It gave the director a lot of courage.
Amir Khan encouraged the director while uniting the whole team. Every time after filming his own scene, he sat quietly on the side, never pointing fingers and feet, and when it was his turn to perform, he could accurately find the soul of the living character in the cold script. After filming, Amir Khan offered to give up his unpaid salary of 10 million rupees to help get through the storm.
After the release of "The Color of Basati", it resonated with countless audiences and had a profound social impact. Many subsequent movements and demonstrations that advocated for reform and justice invoked the spirit of the film, which changed society.
"Sixty years later, looking back at today, it doesn't matter if he ushered in a new era, because he represents this era." ―Lakesh Omprakasi Mehra on Amir Khan.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > seven, I am not only an actor, but also a citizen</h1>
The movie "The Colors of Basati" has been boycotted by many groups because of some sensitive topics, and has even been banned by some states. Eventually, under public pressure, the Indian Parliament deliberated to reopen the high court and lift the ban on the film. It is also this film that makes Amir Khan think more about social responsibility and civic responsibility.
While protesters in Gujarat went on hunger strike to fight for the rights of farmers displaced by dam construction, and the whole of India seemed to forget about them, Amir Khan joined the protests and specifically petitioned the president.
This annoyed the local government, which withdrew his new film and forced him to apologize. He indignantly refused, "Why should I apologize, I am just asking for the people to be properly resettled, and this is just a repetition of the Supreme Court's judgment." Don't people have the right to express their views? Don't people have the right to freedom of expression and not to be attacked? The attack on me did not come from the people, nor from the film industry, but from political parties. ”
Amir Khan participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Torch Relay and opposed boycotts of those who participated in the Beijing Olympics. He wrote on his blog, "I don't think the Olympics are a national event in China. If there were to be a country without any flaws to host the Olympics, I suspect it would not be found on Earth at all. ”
In 2009, in the run-up to India's national elections, Amir Khan, as a public figure, called on the people to participate in the elections and flew back to China for 16 hours to cast his vote.
Amir Khan is an actor, but a citizen outside of the actor, and he knows that if everyone does a little better, the country can be better.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > eight, he means 100% giving and trust</h1>
In 2010, Reader's Digest organized a campaign in India to vote for the most trusted Indians, with Amir Khan being one of the two highest-ranked actors. Decades of dedication to the acting career, the original intention remains unchanged, so that the name of Amir Khan into serious and trust.
For filming, Amir Khan could come to the set at six o'clock every morning and stay until two o'clock at night. If the star style is loose, the atmosphere will soon spread to the entire set, but Amir Khan never. He never appeared on a show or shot an advertisement during filming, and he could be called up at two in the morning to shoot. He could sit silently on set for twelve hours for three shots. Everyone knows that he is a big name, but everyone forgets that he is a big name, because he makes himself just an actor.
When shooting Aamir Khan's shot, he knew which shot to take, a few steps back, and when to turn around. He would give his opinion on some of the effects, the director had different ideas, and he would change quickly. He treats the film and the team with great seriousness and single-mindedness. The name Amir Khan means not only acting and box office, but also sincerity and dedication.
Everyone wants to achieve great things, but most people don't have enough patience to take shortcuts and make excuses. From the film for decades, listening to the inner voice, adhering to the principles, and dedicating oneself to the film is a beautiful account of Amir Khan to himself when he was young.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > nine, climb the mountain and follow the morning light</h1>
In the unruly Indian film scene, Amir Khan set the rules for himself, and he was the first actor in Bollywood to take only one film at a time and resolutely did not cross the scene. In the chaotic and absurd film industry, Amir Khan broke all kinds of conventions with his bare hands and brought rules and light.
Art has no borders, and dedication should not be different from region or country. The wide drama road, the diverse character image, every time to ensure 100% investment and dedication, for the film to do what I want, pour my best. Such an Amir Khan deserves a thumbs up.
He is both an authority shaper and an authority breaker. He strikes a balance between following the rules and breaking the rules. He has grown up with film in his decades-long acting career. He created many completely different classic characters. Every time he creates a classic, he looks forward to a new future. He was never satisfied with achievements and brilliance, for him, the peak meant that the sunset was approaching, and what he was after was the eternal morning light.
This is the Amir Khan movie and life.
