Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Aamir Khan learned tap dancing, acrobatics, and parkour for six months—then performed most stunts himself, including that terrifying dam dive.
The film became the highest-grossing Bollywood film ever at release, proving Indian audiences would embrace darker, more psychologically complex heroes long before 'Animal' made it trendy.
