Kannada actor-director Upendra recently shared his delight over Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan’s admiration for the teaser of his upcoming film, UI. In an exclusive chat with India Today Digital, Upendra called it a “happy surprise” when Aamir expressed his genuine appreciation and eagerness to promote the film.
In a video shared by the filmmakers, Aamir is seen praising the UI teaser, calling it “mind-blowing,” and expressing deep respect for Upendra’s work. The Bollywood icon’s enthusiasm was evident as he even followed up to ask Upendra about the audience’s reaction after the video was posted. “That is his greatness,” said Upendra. “For someone in such a big position to call me, a junior, and praise my work so sincerely—it’s something we can all learn from.”
The meeting between Aamir and Upendra reportedly took place on the sets of Coolie, Rajinikanth’s upcoming film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, in which Upendra also stars. Speculations are rife that Aamir may make a cameo appearance in the Rajinikanth-starrer.
UI, which marks Upendra’s return as a director after nine years, explores a dystopian world set in the year 2040. The film boasts a stellar cast including Reeshma Nanaiah, Murali Sharma, P Ravi Shankar, and Nidhi Subbaiah. It is set for a theatrical release on December 20.
