Aamir Khan tells fans to stay away from ‘Raakh’

Mumbai, May 31: Superstar Aamir Khan’s ‘Raakh’, which released two decades back, is all set for a re-release on June 12. But surprisingly, Aamir himself doesn’t want the film to release again.
Aamir, who has been supporting the producers’ stand in the on-going dispute between multiplex owners and producers, feels that the re-release of ‘Raakh’ will put across a wrong message. Explaining his opinion, Aamir said, “Raakh is my second film and was released in 1990. Currently the person holding the rights is being opportunistic and is trying to make a quick buck by releasing the film during the strike. Also, the multiplexes might buy into the film in order to try and score a point over me and the unity of the producers. I therefore request my fans to stay away from all my films if they are released in any National Multiplex Chain during this period of struggle.” Other films which have re-released in the past two months including ‘Ghajini’, ‘Race’, ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, ‘A Wednesday’, ‘Oye Lucky Lucky Oye’, ‘Rang De Basanti’, ‘Fashion’, ‘Golmaal Returns’ and ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ were screened only in single screen theatres, amidst the stand off.
