After acting in the 2007 film Taare Zameen Par, actors Aamir Khan and Darsheel Safary reconnected after a 16-year break. Darsheel posted an advertisement on Instagram in which Aamir plays his grandfather.
The ad
“Join #AamirKhan as he goes on an adventure through time with Charged by Thums Up,” wrote Darsheel, sharing the ad on his Instagram page. In it, Aamir can be seen playing his ‘dadu’, someone who finds a solution to all his life’s problems. On Tuesday, Darsheel had shared a set of pictures of Aamir, writing, “It is Aamir’s multiverse, and we’re all just living in it. 3 days to go. #mrperfectionist #masterclass #versatileactor.”

A few days ago, he shared a still from Taare Zameen Par, juxtaposing it with a still from the ad and writing, “16 years later, and we’re together again. Emotional? Yeah, a little. Charged? ABSOLUTELY. All the love to my favorite mentor for the experience. Watch this space for the Big reveal. (sic)”

Fans were thrilled at the prospect of Aamir and Darsheel sharing the screen again. While some were happy to see the duo together again, others were bummed that it was only for an advertisement. “Film. Nahi aane wali thi kya?,” wrote a fan, stating that they had hoped it would be a film the duo were working on, while another commented, “Great to see you with Aamir Khan after 16 years.” Some didn’t care that it was an ad, writing, “Aamir’s ads are always like a short film for me, and you, @dsafary, great to see both of you together after all these yrs!!!!” and “Ad mein hi film ka perfection hai. (The ad has the perfection of a film.)”
For those who are unaware, Aamir and Darsheel first appeared on screen together in Taare Zameen Par, when the former played a mentor and the latter, a dyslexic student. Then, Darsheel was just ten years old. At his daughter Ira’s wedding, Aamir recently reconnected with Tisca Chopra, who portrayed Darsheel’s mother in the movie. Later, Darsheel starred in movies including Midnight’s Children, Zokkomon, and Bumm Bumm Bole.
