Aamir Khan plays Darsheel Safary's grandfather in new ad; takes him on 'adventure through time' | watch

Aamir Khan and Darsheel Safary are back together 16 years after they appeared together in the film 'Taare Zameen Par'. The two stars have teamed up for an energy drink commercial where Aamir portrays Darsheel's grandfather, embarking on a time-traveling adventure.

The commercial starts with Darsheel confiding his life's challenges to his ‘dadu’ (grandfather), who then offers him a drink. As Darsheel takes sips of the beverage, he embarks on a journey through time, encountering Aamir in various personas. These different avatars of Aamir, which Darsheel had previously shared on his Instagram handle, unfold before him with each sip, offering glimpses into different timelines.

The ad was shared with the caption, ‘Join #AamirKhan as he goes on an adventure through time with Charged by Thums Up.’

Upon the ad's online release, fans enthusiastically shared their excitement in the comment section.

When Darsheel Safary initially shared the first glimpse of the ad featuring Aamir Khan, there was speculation among fans that it might be related to the rumoured upcoming film ‘Sitare Zameen Par.’

Adding to the intrigue, during recent promotions for his production ‘Laapataa Ladies,’ Aamir had mentioned that his next project would indeed be titled ‘Sitare Zameen Par.’

This fueled further anticipation and curiosity among fans about the potential connection between the ad and the film.

Aamir Khan’s work front

Aamir Khan's last film appearance was in ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ in 2022. Initially, the movie faced challenges at the box office, but it gained positive traction once it began streaming on Netflix. However, despite the mixed reception, a few months following the film's release, Aamir declared his intention to take a sabbatical from the movie industry.

Aamir Khan’s production house will be bankrolling Raj Kumar Santoshi's next, titled ‘Lahore 1947’, which will star Sunny Deol in the lead role.
