Mumbai, Sep 17 Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has wished Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he turned 75 on Wednesday and wished for his long life and strength to take India forward towards progress and advancement.

In other news, Aamir was recently seen in superstar Rajinikanth’s Tamil-language action thriller film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film features an ensemble cast including Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj and Rachita Ram, with Aamir and Pooja Hegde in special appearances.
The film revolves around a former coolie union leader investigates the death of his friend which leads him to a crime syndicate.
On September 14, the superstar’s spokesperson statement said: “Mr Aamir Khan has given no such interview and has made no negative comments about the film 'Coolie'. Mr Khan has the highest regard for Mr Rajinikanth, Mr Lokesh and in fact the entire team of 'Coolie'. The film has done over Rs 500 crore at the box office which speaks for itself."
A newspaper clipping surfaced on social media in which Aamir allegedly said that he regrets signing "Coolie" and doesn't know what his character was ‘meant to do’ in the film.
Aamir Khan Productions cleared the air further in an Instagram post that 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 post added that Aamir has great respect and regard for all the work that he does, and does not speak lightly about his work.
"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. 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," the post concluded.
