Khan first appeared on screen as a child actor in his uncle Nasir Hussain's film *Yaadon Ki Baaraat* (1973). As an adult, his first feature film role was in *Holi* (1984). He began a full-time acting career with a leading role in *Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak* (1988). His performance in *Raakh* (1989) earned him a National Film Award in the Special Mention category.

In 1999 he founded Aamir Khan Productions, whose first film, *Lagaan* (2001), was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and earned him a National Film Award for Best Popular Film and two more Filmfare Awards (Best Actor and Best Film). After a four-year hiatus, Khan returned to appear in leading roles, notably in *Fanaa* (2006) and *Rang De Basanti* (2006). He made his directorial debut with *Taare Zameen Par* (2007), which won him the Filmfare Awards for Best Film and Best Director.
