Aamir Khan has called for a stronger push towards pay-per-view releases in India, highlighting it as a major revenue opportunity for filmmakers and a major shift in how audiences consume films. Speaking to Sonal Kalra, Chief Managing Editor – Entertainment & Lifestyle, Hindustan Times, Aamir said the film industry should come together to introduce pay-per-view as a standard window – placed between a film’s theatrical run and its OTT release. Aamir explained that he had experimented with the model earlier, but stressed that real impact would come only if the industry collectively embraced it. “I did it on my own, not as an industry move. It would be nice if the industry tried to create a pay-per-view window. It would benefit everyone,” he said. Calling it “one more way for producers to earn”, Aamir said the focus should be on giving audiences the freedom to choose how they want to watch new releases. “As an industry, we need to let consumers decide how they want to consume content,” he added. Aamir also underlined the importance of digital platforms in today’s entertainment landscape: “If you are not on digital, you are not relevant.” The superstar’s views come at a time when the movie business continues to rapidly evolve – with changing post-theatrical strategies, shifting audience behavior and a growing appetite for flexible viewing options. Finding love again Aamir Khan has opened up about finding love again in his late 50s, admitting that he never expected a new relationship at this stage of his life. The actor, who is currently dating Gauri Spratt, admitted he once believed he would never have a partner again. “I didn’t think I would be in a relationship. I thought I would never find someone who could be my partner,” Aamir said while talking about Gauri and the bond they share. Reflecting on what she brought into his life, Aamir also looked back with warmth and gratitude on his previous marriages to Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao. “I am lucky to have met her (Gauri). I feel lucky that our marriages may not have worked, but I am lucky to have met Reena, Kiran, and now Gauri. These are women who have had a deep impact on me,” he added. About working with Lokesh Kanagaraj During the interaction, Aamir Khan also addressed the curiosity of fans about his much talked about collaboration with filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj. He confirmed that discussions are still ongoing. “Lokesh and I are supposed to meet soon. There will be a narration – that’s what’s planned for now,” Aamir said, keeping hopes alive for the project. Talking about why he takes time off between films, Aamir reiterated that he chooses projects very carefully. “My intention is to make one film a year … but that never happens,” he laughed. “I can’t shoot a film unless I connect with it. I’ll try – but I have to genuinely love what I’m doing.”

Johan said that the abolition and rehabilitation that President Prabowo gave to Tom Lembong and Ira was based on justice. According to him, it is very important to restore that sense of justice. “Pak Prabowo’s steps, especially rehabilitation and abolition, are in order to restore a sense of justice, and this is very important in my opinion, because law enforcement must of course be tough, but there must be a sense of justice. For whom? Of course not for the oligarchy, but for the people of the whole of Indonesia,” he added. (mib/fas)
