Commenting on the credibility of the interview, Aamir's legal representative Anand Desai said the actor was wrongly attributed to the interview.
The allegedly 'fake' interview carried controversial answers on Islam, as shown in the screen grab below.
SOURCE: PAKISTAN KI BAATEINAccording to Desai, the 49-year-old actor was shocked to find the interview attributed to him on several Pakistani websites.
"He has never given such an interview; it is clearly a fabrication by someone trying to impersonate him, done with the intent of drawing visitors to their website, and is defamatory to our client," he added.
Desai further said impersonation was a very serious infringement of his client's rights, and that he will take legal recourse.
"Aamir will be filing a criminal complaint with the Cybercrime Cell, Mumbai Police after he returns to Mumbai (from US)," he announced.

Actually Indians can't even think those convincing answers! Poor Indians, banned their own most amazing and worth earning movie!
@BIG FAN OF (AK):
Could somebody explain me what exactly he is written.........
The ultimate insult to Pakistan came not from a Hindu but a Buddhist residing in India. Dalai Lama recently advised the Shias of Pakistan to migrate to India as they are not safe in Pakistan! http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/i-am-still-a-marxist-says-dalai-lama/article1-1306457.aspx (“Pakistan is a Muslim country but Shias are not safe there. But Muslims are safe in India. The Shia community should come to India and (be) safe,” he said on Tuesday at a programme organised by the Presidency University in Kolkata. The Tibetan spiritual leader added that Indian Muslims can offer lessons in Sunni-Shia harmony as the Shias are safe in India.)
first iam thanks to (Allah) AK is the perfect respect of muslim religion and anybody question to me for my religion Islam come on anybody ......................... 1(God Is Great) 2(Iam respect AK)
@Soofia Malik - "Its understandable given the state of constant life threat each Muslim of india faces – because the answers appear genuine, logical and forthright, just like Amir Khan’s style is."
...And life for each Muslim in Pakistan is a bed of roses, with not threats to life at all.
Lolz; & who knows if this news is true or not??? Anyways, if true being a Pakistani i am really ashamed...:(.
This is very sad to hear indeed.However one comment should not be representative of the whole nation.Please stop criticizing pakistan as a nation.People using comments like 'what else do you expect from Pakistan?' This is a very wrong/mean/racist comment and it just shows how shallow a person himself/herself is.kindly refrain from subjecting the entire nation to brutal comments and insults.
I'm sure AK will be taking the right action against this.This movie was Truely amazing!
may be this interview was created and posted by an indian ...
I am with amir khan he gave answers to every question and they cannont question his answers
There are people who try to create sensationalism on both sides of the border and they use lying as a tool to get sympathies. This interview was concocted by someone on the social media, maybe Facebook which was probably an act of one person on cyberspace. But what about the Indian story regarding the fishermen who destroyed their own boat and Modi's current rant about an Indain Plastic surgeon transplanting the head of an elephant on a human body? That is institutionalized lying and nonsense ... at the highest level in India. Tribune moderators, please publish this.
Please stop generalizing. Not all Pakistanis are alike just as no Indian is alike. There are good and bad in very nation, it's just human nature. Don't dismiss hundreds of talented ppl of Pakistan just based on few bad apples.
Which pakistani paper was this? An online one or a print one. AK called the cybercrime cell means that it was a website based paper. How can you know where the website is based?
Aamir or no Aamir the interview content is quite valid and convincing
@s:
Wait for the answer dude.....why in Hurry.
Where is Red topi master Zaid hamid. I truly miss his rhetoric on TV.
Al-Bakistan at its best ! Truth took a one-way ticket out in 1947.
lol ;) But on the bright side, it made people who weren't interested in the movie at all, watch the movie. Including me. :D
How can we blame the whole nation for anything done by a bunch of hypocrites. We must remember Amir Khan is filing a case against some of Pakistani websites but not Pakistan. We all know how anything get viral on social media, and it's almost impossible now a days to get the authentication for anything posted on SOCIAL MEDIA.
Countries are not bad but people. Love and Peace!
Other than religion what can you expect from a Pakistan interviewer.Height of obsession with religion.Thank god I am not in Pakistan.
@Soofia Malik: Then why don't you open borders to help Indian Muslims.
Good, now courts should punish the fabricator and publisher of the news financially with big fines. I have seen too many fake news on our social websites lately.
Seriously Zaid? Had hotee hay.
What do you expect from Pakistan, Yellow cheap journalism
What about the "Big Fat Lie" of a "Terror Boat"? my dear neighbors ;)
@Soofia Malik: Wrong side of the line ? Even a small island like Maldives is living a peaceful life and yet you have the indulgence to ignore home truths . The only word that is currently synonymous with Pak is terror and you live in its heartland day in and day out.Feeling pity my dear.
This shows the Ugly side of the Social media (an in-regulated and unaccountable Media).
Twisting facts and making up stories are alBakistani trademark.
He has a reference mentioned below of some ebuzz, damn...
I don't know why people adopt such cheap tactics to increase visits for their websites. Very disgusting attitude by that website owner.
I can feel this reporter citing Aamir Khan's interview was himself PK and so was the Editor. if that was not all published as of Sarcastic Nature
Everything in Pakistan is Fabricated. Take the example of sudden TV-shows on Indian NSA, Ajit Doval. His interview on "Defensive Offense" was made even before Modi govt came to power. But Pakistanis think its made this week. Look at the fake degrees, or fake GDP figure or Fake encounters etc everything is fabricated to cover-up failure of the leaders in Pakistan
These kind of fabricated interviews and blog to pamper religious fanatics are quiet common in banana nation like pak.
He has obviously caved in to RSS terrorists and is trying to disown what he said earlier. Its understandable given the state of constant life threat each Muslim of india faces - because the answers appear genuine, logical and forthright, just like Amir Khan's style is.
I have true heartfelt sympathy for this talented and genuine soul on the wrong side of the line.
What else you expect from Fakistan...?
Obsession with religion at its height !!! What a country, what a religion !!
Now this is wrong one should not spread fake news Sorry AK,
