Almost 13 years after his supporting role in I Hate Luv Storys (2010),<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/television-news/article/heres-how-sanjeeda-shaikh-aamir-ali-wished-their-little-daughter-on-birthday-23190203" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"> Aamir Ali</a> returned to movies with <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/hansal-mehta-faraaz-to-be-released-on-100-screens-across-india-23268546" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Hansal Mehta</a>&rsquo;s Faraaz. In the drama that retells the 2016 terrorist attack at the Holey Artisan bakery in Dhaka, the actor plays the father of a young girl who is taken hostage.
