Production

Aamir was released on 6 June alongside the Ram Gopal Varma-directed Sarkar Raj. Shot on a budget of ₹20 million (US$210,000), it is a thriller set in the streets of Mumbai. Aamir is also the debut film of its lead actor, cinematographer, music director and the producer UTV Spotboy. The tagline of the film is "Kaun Kehta Hai Aadmi Apni Kismat Khud Likhta Hai?" ("Who says a man writes his own destiny?")

Regarding allegations that the film was copied from the 2005 Filipino film Cavite, Gupta explained he did not watch it, and that it took him a year to write Aamir, which would not have happened if it was copied. He further mentioned contacting the makers of Cavite to clarify that the script of Aamir was written before theirs was released.
