Aamir Khan is once again at the center of controversy. Many internet users are now calling for a boycott of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par. This backlash follows his delayed support for Operation Sindoor and the resurfacing of an old video from his visit to Turkey.

Production House Changes Display Picture Amid Criticism

Amid rising criticism, Aamir Khan Productions changed its display photo on all social media accounts. On Friday, the company replaced its profile pictures on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook with the Indian national flag.

Soon after, many social media users saw this move as a way to manage the ongoing backlash. The hashtag #BoycottAamirKhan began trending quickly.

Netizens Question the Sudden Patriotism

Several users expressed doubts about the timing of the change.

One Reddit user said, “Lol, he’s being boycotted online so clearly did it as damage control.”

Why Are People Upset?

There are two main reasons behind the current outrage. First, people believe Aamir Khan only showed support for Operation Sindoor to promote his upcoming film. Second, an old video of his visit to Turkey has gone viral again. This has led to renewed anger and criticism.

Aamir Khan’s Past Remarks on National Matters

After the Pulwama attack in 2019, Aamir Khan shared his thoughts in an interview with ABP News.
He said, “We need justice and assurance that it won’t happen again. We believe in our government, and we should let them do the work. I have full faith in them.”

Still, many critics now believe his latest actions seem forced and not genuine.

Film Trailer Released, But Backlash Continues

Despite the controversy, the trailer of Sitaare Zameen Par has been released. While some fans liked it, many viewers remain upset.

Therefore, boycott calls are still active on social media. The film is set to hit theatres on June 20, 2025.
