Shehzad Khan reveals his father Ajit Khan warned him for mimicking his voice in ‘Andaz Apna Apna’: ‘Ainda aisi himakat mat karna…’ | Hindi Movie News – The Times of India
Actor Shehzad Khan recently opened up about his father’s initial reaction after watching him mimic his voice in Aamir Khan and Salman Khan’s ‘Andaz Apna Apna‘. He played the role of Vinod Bhalla in the cult classic, which left a strong impression on the audience.
In a recent conversation with Radio Nasha, Shehzad shared details about the casting process for ‘Andaz Apna Apna’. Director Rajkumar Santoshi had rejected the initial casting of the film, but for the role of Vinod Bhalla, producer Vinay Kumar suggested Shehzad’s name. “When I went there, Raj told me about the role and said that I had to use my father’s voice for the character, and that’s how the journey started,” Shehzad stated.
Actor Ajit was unaware of his son’s involvement in the film until others brought it to his attention. Shehzad recalled, “I never told my father about the film, and some people told him, ‘Your son’s new film has come out. A lot of people are talking about it. He has used your voice.’ Then he saw the film and told me, ‘Ainda aisi himakat mat karna (Don’t ever repeat this).’”
‘Andaz Apna Apna’ has achieved cult status, with fans fondly remembering its unique blend of slapstick humour and quirky characters. Alongside Shehzad Khan, the film features an ensemble cast including Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, Paresh Rawal, Shakti Kapoor, and Viju Khote.
‘Andaz Apna Apna’ is set to return to select cinemas on April 25, 2025.

Mali Turns Cult Leader in Eerie ‘Dr. Dust’ Video
Mali dons robes and commands an army of followers as a cult leader in the music video for her latest song “Dr. Dust.”
The Chennai-origin, Mumbai-based artist takes a trippy, dark sonic route—heard first in songs like “Mango Showers” in 2019 and “Age of Limbo” from 2020—with producer Rohan Rajadhyaksha and a video directed by filmmaker Hitaali Dharamsh. The video, set in a seemingly secluded resort, features Mali’s titular character with a scepter in hand surrounded by a coterie of followers, healing circles and bonfire rituals.
A press release for the video notes that the audience is privy to a “sacrificial ceremony,” in which Mali makes way for a successor. It adds, “The narrative explores the cyclical nature of control, identity, blind faith and dependence—underscoring the question: who’s pulling the strings?”
True to the narrative—part cautionary tale, part in on the symbolism—Mali picked fans to feature in the video via social media.
Mali says in a statement that the song was inspired by reading and watching “lots of material related to cults.” She adds, “The more I sat on it, the more I was intrigued by this world where people, especially the young generation, fall prey to these luring cult spaces. It also brings up more relatable questions about controlling relationships in our everyday lives. It is concerning but real, and I felt the need to say something about it. To make it more fun, I even included some of the fans in the video. I really hope that it finds its people like my previous work has!”
Her first single of the year, Mali’s highlights in 2024 included winning Best Indian Act at the MTV European Music Awards as well as performing at SXSW Sydney in Australia.
Watch the video for “Dr. Dust” below.
