Farhan Akhtar rejects reports of exiting Aamir Khan's Lalkaara

Actor Farhan Akhtar broke his silence on reports claiming that he had exited Aamir Khan’s upcoming sports drama Lalkaara. Reacting to the rumours, the actor-filmmaker clarified that he was never officially part of the project, making reports of his exit inaccurate.

Speaking to Mid-Day, Farhan questioned how he could have exited a film he had never formally joined. “How do I exit a project when I had never even entered it officially?” he said. He further explained that actors often discuss multiple projects before deciding



which ones to commit to, and that being in talks for a film should not be mistaken for signing it.

“In the course of one’s career trajectory, every actor comes across many offers and projects. You sign some projects, and don’t sign some. It’s as simple as that,” he added.

Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, Lalkaara is based on the historic 1952 India-Pakistan Test series and stars Aamir Khan in the lead. The film is backed by Excel Entertainment, founded by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani.
