About Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan’s films on the Yash Raj Films site range from Indra Kumar’s romance Mann (9 July 1999), in which he plays Karan Dev Singh, to the historical adventure Thugs of Hindostan (2018).

On screen

He played the title role in Ketan Mehta’s Mangal Pandey: The Rising (2005) and Rehan Qadri, opposite Kajol, in Kunal Kohli’s Fanaa (2006). In Vijay Krishna Acharya’s Dhoom 3 (2013) he is Sahir, the thief whom Jai Dixit and Ali pursue through Chicago, and in Thugs of Hindostan he is Firangi.

Our advice: watch Fanaa for its romance and its music.

In Dhoom 3 the police are matched against an enigmatic clown thief in Chicago.
