Viral Video: Aamir Khan’s Caveman Look Baffles Mumbai, Netizens React: ‘Movies to chalti nahi...’

Mumbai residents were in for a surprise when a “caveman” in tattered clothes, with a wild beard and disheveled hair, wandered through Andheri. Pedestrians took a second glance, bewildered by the sight, before moving along with their daily routines.

However, this wasn’t just any stranger—it was Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan in disguise. The Dangal actor, completely unrecognizable in his rugged look, was seen strolling through the streets with a puzzled expression.

A video of Aamir Khan in his ‘caveman’ avatar quickly gained traction online. The actor, pushing a handcart and blending effortlessly with rickshaws and pedestrians, passed unnoticed by the public.

Khan’s flawless disguise allowed him to roam freely without raising suspicion, leaving many stunned when his identity was finally revealed.

The mystery was solved when a behind-the-scenes (BTS) video surfaced, showcasing Aamir Khan’s dramatic transformation. The clip displayed the extensive process of crafting his look, including a wig, prosthetics, and a thick beard. Livemint could not independently verify the authenticity of the social media post.

Once the BTS footage went viral, netizens began speculating about the motive behind Khan’s unusual appearance. Many suspected it was a promotional stunt for an upcoming project.

“Probably doing a remake of Tom Hanks' movie, Castaway,” a user speculated.

“Just building craze for his next release. To create buzzzzz,” commented another.

“He did something similar in Kolkata too. Would love to see him on the big screen now... it’s been ages,” wrote a fan.

“Best part is, Mumbai people are like, FO BC... Mujhe kya,” another user humorously remarked.

One user suggested that the stunt was Khan’s way of staying relevant: “Movies to chalti nahi, kuch na kuch karke limelight me rehna padega na.”

Interestingly, some people felt that the caveman resembled actor Akshay Kumar more than Aamir Khan himself.

“Mujhe to Akki laga yaar!!” commented a user.

“Maybe Akshay Kumar playing the first Indian (sic),” added another.
