An old video featuring Bollywood actor Aamir Khan promoting his movie ‘Qayamat se Qayamat Tak’ has recently gone viral.In the video, Aamir can be seen adopting a unique approach to promote his film.
He personally sticks posters of the movie on various vehicles in Mumbai.A Twitter user named ‘Mimansa Shekhar’ uploaded the video on the microblogging site, highlighting how Aamir and Raj Zutshi, another actor in the movie, pasted the posters themselves because they were working with a low budget.
The video features a voiceover in the background where Aamir shares his feelings of fear and anxiety before the film’s release.He recalls how he used to request his friends to watch the movie.
Interestingly, during that time, not many people recognized him, and some even asked him who Aamir Khan actually was.The video has struck a chord with many viewers, evoking nostalgic feelings and admiration for the efforts actors used to put into promoting their films.
One Twitter user mentioned that the location where the actors were pasting the posters on auto-rickshaws looked familiar and realized it was the junction near Mithibai College, where they had studied in the past.They pointed out that although ‘Qayamat se Qayamat Tak’ was released a few years later, the memory was reminiscent.
Another person expressed how they felt inspired by the dedication shown by actors in shamelessly promoting their work.
The video also sparked discussions about the candidness of interviews with actors in the past, before the rise of corporate influence and PR strategies.Aamir Khan’s nervousness while talking about his experience added to the charm and authenticity of those times.People on social media appreciated the wholesome nature of the video and the contrast it presented to the current promotional landscape.
