In nineteen ninety-nine, Khan established Aamir Khan Productions, with 'Lagaan' in two thousand one being its first release. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and won him a National Film Award for Best Popular Film, along with two Filmfare Awards. His subsequent film 'Dil Chahta Hai' also achieved critical and commercial success. After a brief hiatus, Khan returned to the screen with notable performances in 'Rang De Basanti' and 'Fanaa' in two thousand six. He made his directorial debut with 'Taare Zameen Par' in two thousand seven, which won him accolades for Best Film and Best Director at the Filmfare Awards.
Khan's most significant commercial successes include 'Ghajini,' '3 Idiots,' 'Dhoom 3,' 'PK,' and 'Dangal,' each of which set records as the highest-grossing Indian films.
