In a private screening held for Nagraj Manjule’s upcoming film Jhund, Bollywood actor Aamir Khan was left speechless. The PK actor couldn’t believe how overwhelmed he got with emotions on watching the film. He stated, “What a film. My God. Bohut hi behtareen film hai!” The film tells the story of social activist Vijay Barse played by Amitabh Bachchan, who encourages slum children to get a direction in their haywire life and form a football team. 

Praising Marathi filmmaker Nagraj’s debut Bollywood film, Aamir Khan further added, “It has happened for the first time that a film has received a standing ovation during a private screening. I don't have words to say. The way you have captured the emotions of girls and boys of India, it's unbelievable. The way the children have worked is unbelievable. What a film you have made! It's a fantastic film. It's very unique, I don't know how you guys were able to make it. The spirit that you have captured doesn't come from logic.” 

Khan heaped praises for Big B saying, “What work he has done! He has done great films in his career. But this is one of his best films. One of his greatest films!” Jhund is backed by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Raaj Hiremath, Savita Raj Hiremath, Manjule, Gargee Kulkarni and Meenu Aroraa under the banners of T-Series, Tandav Films Entertainment and Aatpat. It will have a theatrical release on 4th March 2022.
