Aamir Khan Likely To Quit Bollywood

Rumours are circulating in India's entertainment industry about the potential retirement of Bollywood superstar, Aamir Khan.

Famously known as Mr Perfectionist, the speculation regarding the Bollywood star's retirement gained traction after an interview with his son, Junaid Khan, who is set to debut in the Netflix film, Maharaj.

In an interview, Junaid Khan shared that his father is considering retirement, which prompted him to formally embark on his own career in the film world.

He said that his experience on film sets, working behind the scenes in PK, and shooting ads have given him a comprehensive understanding of what goes into production.

Junaid Khan revealed, "I have always been behind the camera on film sets, working on a project for Aamir Khan Productions when my father said to me, 'I'm retiring, why don't you step in?".

This was the moment, Junaid explained, when he felt that he should officially step into production.

He added "I think I have a strong understanding of film production, which is undoubtedly one of the most challenging  areas of filmmaking".

Aamir Khan is said to be working on the second part of his renowned film, Taare Zameen Par.

The Bollywood megastar has been facing a tough phase in his career, after a series of box-office disappointments.

In 2018, his movie Thugs of Hindostan turned out to be a significant failure, followed by Laal Singh Chaddha, which similarly failed to perform well at the box office.


WORLD EVENTS

August is National Organ Donor Awareness Month.

South Africa is a world leader in the field of organ transplantation. 

However, while the number of patients waiting for transplants continues to increase, the serious shortage of potential donors remains a great concern.

So go on and save a life, register today as an organ donor.

The Organ Donor Foundation has three main focuses: 

  • To raise awareness amongst the entire South African population about the need for, and the benefits of organ and tissue donation and transplantation.
  • To educate medical professionals in both the public and private sector about the transplantation process.
  • To significantly increase the number of members of the public registered as organ and tissue donors with the ODF, and to record these registered organ / tissue donors on an easily accessible registry/database which will be used as a means of measuring the success of organ and tissue donor awareness drives
