==History==
[[Aamir Khan]] Productions was set up in 1999 by Hindi film actor [[Aamir Khan]] with the purpose of producing the film ''[[Lagaan]]''. He decided to produce ''Lagaan'' after the script was not purchased by any other studio. B. Shrinivas Rao also joined AKP as the line producer on ''Lagaan''. The movie was released in 2001, with Khan as the lead actor. The film was a critical and commercial success, and was nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Foreign Language Film category along with four other foreign films, eventually losing to ''[[No Man's Land (2001 film)|No Man's Land]]''. The film won many major awards at several award functions such as [[Filmfare]] and [[International Indian Film Academy|IIFA]].

B. Shrinivas Rao later served as the executive producer for Khan's directorial debut, ''[[Taare Zameen Par]]'', and became the executive producer for the production company, supervising all of its productions. Khan also starred in ''Taare Zameen Par'', sharing the screen with the child actor [[Darsheel Safary]] (in his acting debut) and [[Tisca Chopra]]. The film was initially conceived of and developed by a husband-and-wife team, [[Amole Gupte]] and [[Deepa Bhatia]]. It tells the story of a young child who suffers in school until a teacher identifies him as dyslexic. The movie was critically acclaimed,.<ref name=director>{{cite news|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/ET_Cetera/Directors_pick_Taare_Zameen_Chak_De/articleshow/2661102.cms |title=Taare Zameen Par, Chak De top directors' pick in 2007 |access-date=2008-05-05 |date=29 December 2007 |newspaper=The Economic Times|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080421200216/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/ET_Cetera/Directors_pick_Taare_Zameen_Chak_De/articleshow/2661102.cms |archive-date=21 April 2008 |url-status=live}}</ref> ''Taare Zameen Par'' won the 2008 [[Filmfare Best Movie Award]] as well as a number of other [[Filmfare Awards|Filmfare]] and [[Star Screen Awards]]. Khan's wife, [[Kiran Rao]], also worked as an associate producer for ''Taare Zameen Par''.

The third film produced by the company was [[Abbas Tyrewala]]'s ''[[Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na]]'', released in July 2008. It marked the debut of Aamir Khan and [[Mansoor Khan]]'s nephew, [[Imran Khan (Bollywood actor)|Imran Khan]], and it was co-produced by [[Ritesh Sidhwani]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiafm.com/trade/top5/index.html |title=Box Office Top 5 :Midweek: 'Singh Is Kinng' has mind-boggling weekend!|work=India FM|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208021918/http://www.indiafm.com/trade/top5/index.html |date=8 February 2012 |archive-date=8 February 2012}}</ref>

The fourth offering from AKP was ''[[Dhobi Ghat (film)|Dhobi Ghat]]'' (Mumbai Diaries), a low-budget [[art house film]] written and directed by Kiran Rao. It focuses on four characters – one of them played by Khan – from different walks of life in the city of Mumbai.

The next film produced by the production company was [[Anusha Rizvi]]'s ''[[Peepli Live]]''. This low-budget film was released in August 2010, starring [[Omkar Das Manikpuri]], [[Raghubir Yadav]], [[Shalini Vatsa]], Malaika Shenoy, [[Nawazuddin Siddiqui]], and [[Naseeruddin Shah]]. It was a satire based on the suicides committed by Indian farmers due to the financial hardship. ''Peepli Live'' had its premiere at the [[Melbourne International Film Festival]] on 6 August 2010 at the Regent Theatre, Melbourne.

In 2011, the English/Hindi ''[[Delhi Belly (film)|Delhi Belly]]'' was released, a departure from the "clean, family entertainment" reputation of Aamir Khan Productions. It was a sleeper hit and immensely popular with urban Indian youth, though it was criticised for strong language.

In 2012, the production company released the suspense drama, ''[[Talaash: The Answer Lies Within]]'', which starred Khan along with [[Rani Mukherji]] and [[Kareena Kapoor]]. It was directed by [[Reema Kagti]] and was also produced in association with [[Excel Entertainment]]. This movie was a semi-hit at the box office.

In 2016, the production company released the sport drama, [[Dangal (film)|Dangal]], which starred Khan along with [[Sakshi Tanwar]]. It was directed by [[Nitesh Tiwari]]. [[Siddharth Roy Kapur]] has also produced the film. This film was an all-time blockbuster.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://boxofficeindia.com/movie.php?movieid=3443|title=Dangal - Movie - Box Office India|website=boxofficeindia.com|access-date=2017-11-05}}</ref>

In 2017, the production company released the drama, ''[[Secret Superstar]],''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.movietalkies.com/news/whoa-aamir-khan-worlds-biggest-superstar/|title=Whoa! Aamir Khan Is 'World’s Biggest Superstar'!|date=13 March 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.koimoi.com/bollywood-news/aamir-khan-is-the-worlds-biggest-superstar-says-a-trade-analyst/|title=Aamir Khan Is The Worlds Biggest Superstar Says A Trade Analyst!|date=29 March 2018}}</ref> which starred Khan in an extended cameo along with [[Zaira Wasim]] (who also appeared in ''Dangal''). It was also produced by Akash Chawla.

Aamir Khan Productions has been credited with redefining and modernizing the [[masala film]], with its own distinct brand of socially conscious cinema in the early 21st century.<ref>{{cite web|last=Rangan|first=Baradwaj|title=Masala redux|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-sundaymagazine/Masala-redux/article17007881.ece|website=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=8 January 2017|language=en-IN|date=8 January 2017}}</ref> The studio's films blur the distinction between commercial masala films and realistic [[parallel cinema]], combining the entertainment and production values of the former with the believable narratives and strong messages of the latter, earning both commercial success and critical acclaim, in India and overseas.<ref>{{cite news|title=Secret Superstar: A moving slice of life|url=http://www.asianage.com/entertainment/bollywood/021117/secret-superstar-a-moving-slice-of-life.html|work=[[The Asian Age]]|date=2 November 2017}}</ref>
