The team of Aamir Khan has finally addressed the ongoing controversy over a viral poster that depicted the Bollywood actor as Guru Nanak.

In the statement released by Aamir's team adds, "The Hoax is partially an AI generated image that has indicated Aamir Khan as Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Aamir Khan himself is not working on any such project.

He reveres Guru Nanak and he will never do anything disrespectful. Please don't believe this misinformation. The announcement was made to clear up any confusion concerning the actuality of the project, as well as assure the public that the actor would never prostitute himself in such a inflammatory and disrespectful manner. The fake poster was first posted on a YouTube channel impersonating T-Series which claimed that Aamir Khan will be seen in a film as Guru Nanak. The move triggered a backlash with especially the Sikh community protested it with all its might, BJP Punjab spokesperson Pritpal Singh Baliawal and others were unwavering in the face the alleged plan. Things escalated to a level where an official complaint was filed with the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), accusing the content of hurting sentiments and disrupting community peace.

Aamir Khan’s team have been quick to disassociate themselves with the teaser, claiming that this was a ‘fan made look designed to tarnished and mislead viewers’. The latter is a sensitive actor who prides himself on cultural and religious appreciation and was said to be “disturbed” by the litany of untruths being peddled online. His representative issued a press release clarifying that throughout his career, Khan had utmost respect for all religions and that the image was fake and over 8 years old, not endorsed or political affiliated with him.
