Aamir Khan’s feelings on Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Betrayal’ revealed after the success of Rangeela!

Aamir Khan and Ram Gopal Varma have been in a frosty relationship for 29 years. Yes, it’s true. Although their 1995 collaboration with Rangeela was a huge hit, Ramu’s bad-mouthing rubbed Aamir the wrong way, and since then, Aamir has kept his distance from Ram Gopal Varma.

Sarkar director takes the blame. He agreed that Aamir Khan felt betrayed when the media pointed out his comments about Khan’s performance in Rangeela out of context. In an interview, the filmmaker spoke about a particular scene of Aamir Khan in Rangeela, which he felt was enhanced by a co-star’s reaction to Aamir’s line delivery.

He said the interviewer didn’t understand his comment and ran a story with the headline ‘The waiter was better than Aamir’ and quoted him. When the news reached Aamir, he felt betrayed.

While talking to Bollywood Hungama, Ramu said that he tried to explain his side of the story to Khan. “The whole world has seen Rangeela; they loved it. That guy is in the middle of the scene. I say the waiter is better than you, how do you think that will make any difference? It will come to me… But he felt completely betrayed, and that’s my fault,” said Ram Gopal Varma. Still, this failed to break the ice between the two, and Aamir never decided to work with the director of Sarkar.

Rangeela, released in 1995, starred Aamir Khan opposite Urmila Matondkar. It was a huge box office success, emerging as the fourth highest grosser of the year. The film was exceptionally praised for AR Rahman’s soundtrack and Matondkar’s performance.

At the 41st Filmfare Awards, Rangeela received 14 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor. The film won 7 awards including Rahman for his outstanding compositions.
