Now, Aamir Khan himself has cleared the air. An official statement from his spokesperson reads: "The poster showing Aamir Khan as Guru Nanak is completely fake and AI-generated. Aamir Khan has no connection to any such project. He holds the highest respect for Guru Nanak and would never be part of anything disrespectful. Please do not fall for fake news."

What Was the Fake 'Aamir Khan as Guru Nanak' Teaser?

Since being uploaded on April 25, the teaser has been widely circulated across social media platforms, fueling misinformation.

The teaser sparked controversy after a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader in Punjab alleged it was a deliberate attempt to provoke the Sikh community by portraying a Muslim actor as a Sikh guru. According to Dainik Bhaskar, BJP Punjab spokesperson Pritpal Singh Baliawal has filed a complaint with the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). He also urged the Punjab Police, Cyber Cell, and security agencies to trace the perpetrators’ IP addresses and make immediate arrests.
