Aamir Khan and director Mansoor Khan recently shared their experiences of making the hit film "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak." The movie was released in 1988 and is famous for its tragic love story, similar to Romeo and Juliet. It marked Aamir's first role as a leading man in Hindi cinema. During a screening at the Red Lorry Film Festival in Mumbai, Aamir reflected on the film's development, mentioning that it originally had a different title: "Nafrat Ke Waris." He explained that his uncle suggested the final title, "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak." Mansoor added that their father, a well-known filmmaker, often encouraged them to find a fitting title for their films. The film underwent major changes during production, with Mansoor explaining that he reworked much of the original screenplay. He shared how his father suggested a happy ending for the film, which was eventually filmed but not used. Mansoor felt that the story naturally led to a tragic conclusion. Both Aamir and Mansoor were surprised by the film’s massive success. Aamir recalled the nervousness he felt before the release, unsure if audiences would accept it. However, the film became one of the most successful Hindi films ever and won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film. Mansoor, who directed several successful films after "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak," has not directed in recent years but expresses interest in collaborating with Aamir again. He is considering adapting his book, "ONE: The Story of the Ultimate Myth," into a movie, and both are eager to start working on the screenplay together.
