Let us tell you that while talking about his career, Aamir Khan said that this came when he realized that this was the last stage of his career. He had said, "During Covid, at the age of 56, I realized that this was the last stage of my career. I probably had 15 more years of active work left, and I wanted to give something back. The industry, society and the country have given me a lot. I thought I could do one film a year, but as a producer I can support many stories that I feel strongly about".
