Aamir Khan is currently dominating ad breaks during IPL matches with his Dream11 commercials as he sportingly takes jokes on himself, including those on his last film Laal Singh Chaddha. The ad shows Bumrah teasing him for the failure of the film. Another ad features cricketer Rohit Sharma mocking Aamir for not attending award events.

Aamir has now been earning praise for how he didn't mind being mocked for Laal Singh Chaddha's failure in one of the ads. It shows Aamir telling Bumrah to bowl carefully as he gives ‘bade bade hits (big hits)’ with his bat. Mocking him in return, Jasprit says, “Itne hits maarte ho sir…to Laal Singh ka kya hua (if you give so many hits, what happened to Laal Singh Chaddha)?”

Commenting on the ad, producer Atul Kasbekar wrote on Twitter, “Quite enjoying the dream 11 adverts with #AamirKhan and various cricketers. To green light scripts with self deprecating humour is rare with most superstars. It actually ends up being a superpower. Endears one to an audience if you can take a joke on yourself. Well done.”

"Was watching the new series of @Dream11 ads during #IPL2023. Should appreciate #AamirKhan for the role he has portrayed in this ad as a big loser. This should certainly give an awareness for all those addicted to this disruptive addiction," read yet another tweet. One more noted, “Its ok if Aamir is trolling himself… it shows he is a sport bro!! And the whole #Dream11 ads revolve around and his movies. All other cricketers are just going “sir sir” around him. #Legend #AamirKhan #IPL2023.”

Directed by Advait Chandan, Laal Singh Chaddha starred Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya. It was the official Hindi remake of Tam Hanks' critically-acclaimed film Forrest Gump. It received mixed reactions from the critics and collected 129.64 crore gross at the worldwide box office.
