Aamir Khan Life Turns Up Side Down
This has led to discussions about what went wrong with a production banner that was once considered one of Bollywood's most trusted names.
By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 23 Aug 2026 9:50 AM ISTAamir Khan is one of the most loved actors in Bollywood, but his production house appears to be going through a difficult period. Aamir Khan Productions (AKP), which once had a strong reputation for choosing interesting and successful stories, is now facing questions about its recent performance.
AKP had a strong start with several films that became popular among audiences. Dangal remains the biggest success associated with the production house and went on to become a massive blockbuster. Films such as Talaash and Delhi Belly also earned a special place among movie lovers and later developed a cult following.
However, the production house has struggled to repeat those results in recent years. Its latest releases have not created the same impact at the box office. Batwara 1947, which arrived with considerable expectations, is reportedly finding it difficult to perform strongly and recover its investment.
Looking at AKP's recent journey, Sitaare Zameen Par is among the few projects that managed to achieve decent commercial results. Laapataa Ladies received strong appreciation from critics and viewers, but its theatrical earnings were not very high. Meanwhile, films such as Laal Singh Chaddha and some other recent projects failed to make the expected impact.
This has led to discussions about what went wrong with a production banner that was once considered one of Bollywood's most trusted names. Some movie fans believe the biggest problem is the selection of stories. They feel AKP needs to understand changing audience tastes before approving new projects.
A section of social media users has also suggested that Aamir should spend more time evaluating scripts before committing to a film. According to them, having a strong story is more important than simply having a big star or a popular concept.
Aamir's personal life has also remained a topic of public discussion because of his two marriages and subsequent separation, though his professional decisions are separate from his family life. His career, meanwhile, has seen both major highs and unexpected setbacks.
Despite the current concerns, Aamir Khan Productions still has a strong legacy. Dangal continues to stand as a reminder of what the banner can achieve with the right story. The key question now is whether AKP can understand the changing market and make a strong comeback with its upcoming films.
For Aamir and his production house, better script choices and fresh ideas could be important in rebuilding the trust they once enjoyed.
