Aamir Khan to receive the first-ever RK Laxman Award for excellence in Cinema
In a special tribute to the legendary artist, the RK Laxman family has announced the inaugural RK Laxman Award for Excellence, with the first honour going to none other than Aamir Khan.
The award will be presented to Aamir Khan in Pune on November 23, 2025, alongside a live concert by Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman. The ceremony, set to begin at 5 PM at the MCA Cricket Stadium, will celebrate music, cinema, and memories while paying tribute to the legendary cartoonist who created one of India’s most beloved characters The Common Man.
On the same, Usha Laxman, daughter-in-law of the late cartoonist, said, “The R.K. Laxman family has organised an AR Rahman live music concert on November 23 at the MCA Cricket Stadium. During the event, we will pay tribute to RK Laxman by instituting the first-ever RK Laxman Award for Excellence.”
She confirmed that Aamir Khan will receive the inaugural award, adding, “This will be the biggest tribute we, as a family, are offering to Laxman.”
From Lagaan and Taare Zameen Par to Dangal, Aamir Khan has consistently chosen films that break convention and inspire change. His powerful performances and dedication to meaningful storytelling make him a fitting recipient of an award that celebrates creative excellence.
The late R.K. Laxman remains one of India’s most cherished cartoonists. Best known for his iconic comic strip You Said It and his creation The Common Man, Laxman masterfully portrayed the humour, irony, and daily challenges of ordinary Indians making audiences smile, think, and reflect all at once.
He also designed the sketches for the classic TV series Malgudi Days, written by his brother R.K. Narayan. Throughout his illustrious career, he received numerous honours, including the Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Mysore.
