Here's a challenge: name an English language film in which the star does not appear for the first hour.

Aamir Khan is the best, you guys.

Just read that it looks like one of Aamir Khan's next roles is going to be as the star in a Hindi version of Forrest Gump, which seems both a natural and yet worrisome path.

Hindi version of Forrest Gump
So, another version of Midnight's Children then.
(Awesome movie - Aamir Khan is always good)

Lord knows he was the only thing that made Dhoom 3 worth seeing, I mean, okay, Katrina Kaif's dancing was fine and a bit of the story was amusingly daft, but the rest was pretty routine.

Natalie Portman in Vox Lux.
Possibly, Richard Burton in Cleopatra if you regard him as co-starring with Liz.
