\"Aamir As Mela completes 25 years since its release in 2000, Aamir Khan<\/a> has addressed the serious allegations made by his brother Faissal Khan<\/a>, who recently claimed that Aamir had locked him inside his Mumbai residence for over a year citing schizophrenia. The actor\u2019s remarks come amid renewed scrutiny of their fractured relationship and the film that was meant to relaunch Faissal\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

\u201cKya karein? That is my destiny\u201d<\/p>\n

Responding to Faissal\u2019s claims, Aamir spoke to Bollywood Hungama and said, \u201cKya karein? That is my destiny. You can fight the world, but how can you fight your own family?\u201d <\/p>\n

Faissal breaks ties with Aamir Khan\u2019s family, makes shocking revelations about Aamir’s extra marital affair<\/p>\n

The statement follows Faissal Khan cutting off ties with Aamir and the rest of the family last year while levelling multiple allegations against them. At the time, Aamir and his family released an official statement calling Faissal\u2019s remarks \u201churtful\u201d and maintaining that all decisions concerning him were taken collectively by the family based on medical advice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe failure of Mela definitely made a difference to me\u201d<\/p>\n

While addressing the controversy, Aamir also reflected on Mela, the 2000 film he produced to relaunch Faissal. The actor admitted that the film\u2019s failure affected him deeply.\u201cI was obviously disappointed by its failure to achieve its potential,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery film I do means a lot to me. The failure of Mela definitely made a difference to me. It was hard on Faissal, but it was hard on me as well. I\u2019m not comfortable with the idea of any of my films not realising their full potential. The entire team had worked very hard. We were all disappointed.\u201dMela went on to perform poorly at the box office, with director Dharmesh Darshan<\/a> later publicly blaming Aamir Khan for the film\u2019s fate. <\/p>\n

Faissal Khan alleges Aamir Khan ‘imprisoned’ him citing schizophrenia<\/p>\n

From Raja Hindustani to a troubled reunion<\/p>\n

Aamir Khan and Dharmesh Darshan had first collaborated in 1996 on Raja Hindustani, a film that went on to become a blockbuster. Starring Karisma Kapoor, the film was made on a modest budget of Rs 5.75 crore and earned Rs 76.34 crore, cementing Aamir\u2019s position as a leading star and strengthening his association with the director.Encouraged by the success, the duo planned Mela the same year. This time, Aamir had a personal objective\u2014to give his brother Faissal Khan a second chance after his debut film Madhosh (1994) failed to make an impact. <\/p>\n

Allegations, delays and a legacy under scrutiny<\/p>\n

Often described as a loose adaptation of Sholay, with Aamir\u2019s character drawing parallels to Dharmendra\u2019s Veeru and Faissal\u2019s to Amitabh Bachchan\u2019s Jai, Mela faced multiple delays during production. Both Dharmesh Darshan and Faissal Khan later alleged that Aamir\u2019s interference contributed to the film\u2019s troubled making.While Aamir has consistently maintained that his intentions were solely to help establish his brother\u2019s career, Faissal has alleged that Aamir deliberately destroyed his prospects\u2014claims that have gained renewed attention in light of the recent allegations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As Mela completes 25 years since its release in 2000, Aamir Khan has addressed the serious allegations made…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":272595,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[10111,138630,138628,138629,138626,18,117,138631,10110,19,17,138627,138625,327,138632],"class_list":{"0":"post-272594","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-aamir-khan","9":"tag-aamir-khan-brother-faissal-khan","10":"tag-aamir-khan-faissal-khan","11":"tag-aamir-khan-faissal-khan-fight-allegations","12":"tag-dharmesh-darshan","13":"tag-eire","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-faisal-khan-accuses-aamir-khan","16":"tag-faissal-khan","17":"tag-ie","18":"tag-ireland","19":"tag-mela","20":"tag-mela-box-office-performance","21":"tag-movies","22":"tag-relationship-between-aamir-and-faissal-khan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115855062669814363","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272594\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
