Aamir is a 2008 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film[2][3] written and directed by debutante Raj Kumar Gupta and produced by Ronnie Screwvala under newly spun-off UTV Spotboy, the avant-garde project arm of UTV Motion Pictures. The film stars debutante Rajeev Khandelwal as the titular Muslim doctor who upon returning to Mumbai is coerced into a terrorist conspiracy by a mysterious caller and his henchmen. Gajraj Rao voices the unknown caller.

Aamir features music composed by debutante Amit Trivedi, and marks the co-production debuts of future UTV president Siddharth Roy Kapur and filmmaker Vikas Bahl, the latter of whom also plays a brief role.[4] Although the film was initially said to be adapted from the Filipino film Cavite,[5] the makers of Aamir were given a no-objection certificate by Neill Dela Llana and Ian Gamazon, the director duo of Cavite, who were also thanked by the makers of Aamir in the film's prelude.[6][7] Gupta further claimed a decade later that the film was instead inspired by the post-9/11 era.[8]

Aamir opened theatrically on 6 June 2008. Upon release, it received favorable reviews from critics and viewers, including Sheila Dikshit, the then Chief Minister of Delhi.[9] Praised for its direction, production, script, cinematography and music, the film was a commercial success.[10]
