Aamir is a 2008 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film written and directed by debutante Raj Kumar Gupta and produced by Ronnie Screwvala under newly spun-off UTV Spotboy, the avant-garde project arm of UTV Motion Pictures. The film stars debutante Rajeev Khandelwal as the titular Muslim doctor who upon returning to Mumbai is coerced into a terrorist conspiracy by a mysterious caller and his henchmen. Gajraj Rao voices the unknown caller.

Aamir features music composed by debutante Amit Trivedi, and marks the co-production debuts of future UTV president Siddharth Roy Kapur and filmmaker Vikas Bahl, the latter of whom also plays a brief role. Although the film was initially said to be adapted from the Filipino film Cavite, the makers of Aamir were given a no-objection certificate by Neill Dela Llana and Ian Gamazon, the director duo of Cavite, who were also thanked by the makers of Aamir in the film's prelude. Gupta further claimed a decade later that the film was instead inspired by the post-9/11 era.Aamir opened theatrically on 6 June 2008. Upon release, it received favorable reviews from critics and viewers, including Sheila Dikshit, the then Chief Minister of Delhi. Praised for its direction, production, script, cinematography and music, the film was a commercial success.
