Aamir Khan Productions has stirred attention online after changing its social media display picture to the Indian National Flag. Previously showcasing the production house’s official logo, the update has now been implemented across all major platforms including Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook.
Timing Sparks Speculation of Damage Control
The change comes at a sensitive time for actor Aamir Khan, who has been facing growing boycott calls ahead of the release of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par. Netizens have cited two key reasons behind the backlash: Aamir’s delayed public support for Operation Sindoor, and the resurfacing of an old clip from his visit to Turkey, which previously sparked controversy.
Soon after the display picture update, users on Reddit began speculating whether this move was an attempt at damage control. One user wrote, “Lol he’s being boycotted online so clearly did it as damage control,” while another commented, “Bekar me damage control kar rahe hai… boycott karne waale inko chor denge thodi.” (It’s useless damage control; people who want to boycott won’t suddenly change their minds.)
Aamir Khan Responds to Political Tensions
Amid the controversy, Aamir Khan recently addressed tensions between India and Pakistan during an interview with ABP News. He stated, “We need justice and assurance that it won’t happen again. We believe in our government, they’ll take action against anti-social elements and bring them to justice.”

Sitaare Zameen Par Trailer Out Now
Despite the backlash, excitement is building for Sitaare Zameen Par, whose trailer dropped recently. Directed by Aamir himself, the film is set for a theatrical release on June 20, 2025.
Only time will tell whether the patriotic display picture can shift public sentiment.
