What's Happening
- Responding to the misinformation, Aamir Khan's production house released a statement. It read, "On behalf of Mr Aamir Khan, team AKP would like to categorically state that Mr Khan has given no interview regarding the film Coolie. There seems to be a fake interview doing the rounds of social media, where Mr. Khan is supposed to have criticised the film Coolie. This is fake interview."
- The statement further clarified that Aamir has not yet watched the film. "Mr Khan has great respect and regard for all the work that he does, and does not speak lightly about his work. The fact is that Mr. Khan is yet to see the film. Mr. Lokesh was very keen to be present when Mr. Khan would watch the film, and as a result, for one reason or the other, it's not happened as yet."
- Reiterating their stand, Aamir Khan Productions also praised the success of the movie, "Coolie's remarkable success speaks volumes about the vision and hard work of everyone involved. Please be aware that this interview and any such news is false."
