Aamir Khan made a special appearance at the launch of 'Papa Kehte Hain,' the latest song from the movie 'Srikanth' starring Rajkummar Rao and Alaya F. The song offers a glimpse into Srikanth's life journey, from his birth to his success as an entrepreneur.
At the grand launch event in Mumbai, Aamir was visibly moved as a visually impaired band took the stage to perform a new version of the iconic track from his 1988 film 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak.'
The band received a standing ovation from Aamir and Rajkumar Rao after the performance. Srikanth Bolla was also present at the event and he was seen enjoying the band’s performance in the viral video.
Aamir Khan, Udit Narayan, and the lead cast of ‘Srikanth’ also joined the band on stage and crooned the song ‘Ae Mere Humsafar’ with them.
About ‘Srikanth’
The film features Rajkummar playing the role of Srikanth Bolla, a visually impaired industrialist.
The trailer for 'Srikanth: Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne' received widespread praise from the film industry. Arjun Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, and others lauded Rajkummar for his performance.
In an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, the actor expressed that their words of appreciation have boosted his confidence. He acknowledged that such support from his peers plays a significant role in dispelling the myth that the entertainment industry is largely insecure.
‘When something hits the right notes, everybody comes together. But otherwise, liking a film is very subjective. I might like something that another person didn’t and vice-versa. Once in a while, however, a film comes out that meets with unanimous love from everyone in the industry,’ he said.
Shedding light on his prep for the part, Rajkummar said, ‘I had no idea or clue as to how I want to approach this part. But after spending so much time with visually-impaired people and Srikanth himself, I got to learn about a lot of mannerisms I should incorporate to portray the part onscreen.’
