Aamir Khan’s Worries During Sarfarosh Release
As reported by PTI, Aamir Khan said, “In those days, there was a rule that you cannot name the country. We would say ‘neighbouring country’ or ‘friendly country’. So we were taking a risk, and whether the Censor board would pass the film or not because we had taken the name of Pakistan and the ISI. It had never happened before. There was some back and forth happening but our point was that if Advani ji can say in the parliament, then why can’t we say it in cinema halls. Fortunately, the film passed with no changes.”
Sarfarosh also stars Sonali Bendre and Naseeruddin Shah. The film received a great response from the audience and critics alike. Later that year, Aamir Khan starrer also won a National Film Award in the Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment category. Along with the story, the movie is also loved for its music. Jatin-Lalit gave people some amazing tracks like Hoshwalon Ko Khabar Kya Ghazal, Is Deewane Ladke Ko, Jo Haal Dil KA and more.
