After Aamir, Salman to become a perfectionist

After a string of flops, Bollywood hunk Salman Khan has taken a cue from his friend Aamir Khan. Salman now wants to become choosy and perfectionist like Aamir rather than delivering multiple duds in a year. After his home production Main Aurr Mrs Khanna and the the movie London Dreams bombed at the box office, Salman has understood that his brand value is sinking. He now fears that the day may not be too far away when has fans might desert him.

Like Aamir, Salman has started giving importance to the script of the film and has even gathered a team of experts to read all the scripts before they come to him for approval. Sources close to Salman also say that he has decided to become choosy about and create a exclusivity factor around him much like the way Aamir has done. Well all we can do is hope that Salman’s new style of working brings his career back on track.

Aamir Khan’s Toilet emergency!

Well, it was kind of funny… but darlings can you imagine getting stuck in traffic for hours when one needs to go to the loo? Well, the chocolate boy Khan, Aamir had to go through a similar embarrassing moment at a press event recently. My friend, the little birdie was at this five star hotel where this huge media event was being held for Khan’s latest film 3 Idiots.

Needless to say, all these shutterbugs were waiting with bated breath and their cameras ready to click for the man himself. So well, he arrived – a little late due to the Mumbai traffic and more than a little in need to rush to the loo. But life’s not so easy when you are a celeb. And that too Aamir Khan!The poor man was hounded by the press as soon as he entered while his bladder endured this onslaught. My heart went out for him. Really.

And thank God it was not Juicy Mausi in Aamir’s shoes.However, he did excuse himself, saying he needed to use the bathroom. And went on to relieve himself. What a relief!

Aamir and Katrina to portray Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman

Bollywood’s Mr Perfectionist, Aamir Khan and lissome actress Katrina Kaif are all set to portray the role of legendary Guru Dutt and yesteryear’s beauty Waheeda Rehman, in a biopic based on the life of the former, to be recreated by director Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra.

News has it that the movie, which will be canned in October, is based on the life and times of Guru Dutt – the most celebrated actor, producer and director in the history of Indian cinema.

It is believed that Aamir Khan has closely studied the looks of Guru Dutt and has donned a similar hairdo and dressing style, while Katrina has undergone a complete makeover in order to look as elegant and graceful as Waheeda Rehman.

In fact, a glamour magazine recently came out with the first look of the same with Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif recreating the famous pose of Guru Dutt – Waheeda Rehman from their celebrated movie ‘Kaagaz Ke Phool.’ Though ‘Kaagaz Ke Phool’ bombed at the Box Office commercially, yet it definitely left a long lasting impression on the audiences.

Well, let’s see whether Aamir and Katrina are able to pull off the role of their lifetimes, by playing the legends from the golden era of Indian cinema!

The best actor award at the AXN Action Awards:Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Hrithik

New Delhi (IANS): Bollywood stars Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan are in the race to bag the best actor award at the AXN Action Awards.

While Aamir has been nominated for Ghajini, Akshay is in contention for Tashan and Hrithik for Jodhaa Akbar.

"Ghajini is a film that required a lot of aggression that exposes the basic crude emotion of human loss. I'm honoured to be nominated in the best action actor category, as the action in the film is more complex and thought provoking, showcasing anger, vengeance and physical violence," said Aamir in a statement.

In the best actor in a negative role category, the competition is between Imran Khan for Kidnap, Saif Ali Khan for Race and Kay Kay Menon for Drona.

"Race is a thoroughbred action film, complete with flamboyance and panache. I enjoyed performing the stunts and watching the movie evolve into a suave piece of cinema. I am thrilled to be nominated for my role," he said.

The results will depend on public voting which is now open. Fans can cast their votes by logging on to www.axnactionawards.com or by texting to 52525.

The winners will be announced on the channel next month.

Shahrukh stepping Into Aamir's Shoes

As fate has it, Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan are in the news again. The superstars are not at each other especially after bonding big time over the Cinema multiplex-producers crisis but it seems Shahrukh has been tempted to step into Aamir's shoes.

The news is doing the rounds that Shahrukh is going to replace Aamir in a new film by Reema Kagtis. It is said that Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani had a fall-out with Aamir over terms of the film, as Aamir demanded a whopping fee and certain percentage of the profit. The fall-out happened on the sets of 3 Idiots where Ritesh had come to finalise the deal. He left the sets disappointed, as he couldn't buy the terms and conditions laid down by the actor.

It may be recalled that Farhan, Ritesh and Aamir were like family and their film Dil Chahta Hai was a huge hit. Now, it looks like their relationship will be affected by this turn out. Ritesh Sidhwani confirmed that they were supposed to work with Aamir but had fallen out over his unacceptable demands. However, he refused to confirm if Shahrukh is replacing Aamir. He said that they would announce very soon if Shahrukh is in the film.

On the other hand, sources close to Aamir claimed that the actor never works for money or friends. It added that he turned down the offer as he didn't like the script.

Well, nobody can hide the truth. Keep a watch on this space!

Mailicious, Aamir idiot-ic!

Nitin Desai is appalled that a mail, supposedly sent by him blasting Aamir Khan, is being circulated in

Aamir Khan More Pics
the media

Art director, Nitin Desai is in a state of shock. A mail is being circulated with his name in which he questions Aamir Khan’s knowledge of the on-going distributors’ and exhibitors’ conflict. The mail is a link to the blog which, apparently, Nitin Desai has written criticising Aamir for his lack of knowledge and his mannerisms.

The content of the mail makes acerbic remarks at Aamir’s genius clearly indicating that contrary to perception, Aamir is not the intelligent actor that people make him out to be.

It also accuses Aamir of asking for larger share from the profits of Ghajini. It makes fun of Vashu Bhagnani, who was moved by Aamir’s “offer to clean toilets in single screens so that the release of his son Jackky’s debut movie is not impacted”.

A stunned Nitin Desai said, “I have absolutely no clue about what you are saying. Who is that Nitin Desai? I have worked with Aamir and have high regard for him. Who am I to point out Aamir’s mistakes? I am too small to take any panga with Aamir. There has to be some mistake or some mischief. I have got nothing to do with it and I have no clue about who is using my name to spread such things.”

Desai added, “I am too busy with my work, making my sets and creating new ideas for the same. I definitely have no clue whatsoever and have no time to write blogs and blame Aamir Khan for anything.”

Excerpts from the letter

...Mr Vashu Bhagnani is choking with emotion with Aamir’s magnanimous offer to clean toilets in single screens so that the release of his son Jackky’s movie is not impacted.

Sorry to spoil this moment for you Mr Bhagnani but do you not realise that Aamir has nothing to lose if Jackky’s movie flops because it could not be released in multiplexes?? Aamir’s skiing away in pretentious Montana while you are losing money and perhaps your son’s careeer to an unjustified cause.

His movie Three Idiots does not release until December so obviously he can sit back and have the last laugh on the snow laden slopes of the mountains while everyone else bows down to his ‘idiotic’ whims and fancies.

Shahrukh and Aamir in Coke ad

Even though they are in regular war of words and have no plans of doing films together Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan could soon be seen together endorsing Coca Cola. Pepsi had recently dumped Shahrukh after a decade long association as it thought SRK being at the wrong side of 40 did not appeal to the youth. In its last 'Youngistan' campaign SRK was given a small role as compared to that of love birds Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.

Shahrukh however isn't the star to sit home and look for an endorsement deal. Pepsi's biggest rival Coca Cola saw this as a huge opportunity and pounced on King Khan. Shahrukh even roped in Kolkata Knight Riders's star Saurav Ganguly and his team to endorse Sprite which is a Coke product. Aamir on has been associated with Coke for quite some time. Now the Cola giant has plans to cast both Aamir and Shahrukh in the same commercial.

When Aamir-SRK came Together

Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan came together on the same platform to raise the issue of the tiff between the film producers and multiplexes over revenue sharing. And both advocated a partnership of equality.

"It should be a partnership of equality. Fifty percent sharing is fair. Distributors and exhibitors have to find a way to make it a viable business within their fifty percent. Within my fifty percent I have to make it profitable," said Aamir at a press conference here.

"This is one industry and we all can survive only when each sector will earn a healthy share. We are here to find a solution to this," added Aamir.

Apart from Aamir, industry veterans like Ronnie Screwvala, Mukesh Bhatt and Karan Johar were present, among others.

Shah Rukh Khan, however, stressed that the press meet should not be seen as a "power show".

"This is not a power show. We haven't gathered here to threaten multiplexes. It's a show of coming together," said Shah Rukh who also felt that there should be equal sharing of revenue.

"We are here for fair rights for Friday nights," he asserted.

The tiff between the producers and multiplexes started early February. And after several failed discussions, the producers decided to go on strike. From April 4 they have stopped giving release rights of new big-budget movies.

Aamir khan's New Sardarji look for Tata Sky Ad

It is interesting that Aamir Khan's New role like Sardarji in Tata Sky TV Advertisement. see bellow Aamir Khan's Tata Sky TV Advertisement photo.



Aamir Khan said that-“As an actor it's hard for me to try to play with my age. I play a sixty-year-old Sardar for the new Tata Sky campaign.”

I've played all kinds of characters before, but never a Sardar. Although I played a Punjabi character in Rang De basanti but this is the first time as Sardar full on. When you have to get into many sets with Turban and beard. I hate this beard as it is much rubber on the very annoying. but you must do it when you need to do it.



First I was irritated because I have to put this body suit, etc. But when I put it on, and I look at me, I get excited. When I see myself looking like this other person, so I forget the discomfort. In addition to the irritation I am very particular about the wig is straight, and I look at me and I feel very happy, especially when the product comes out right.

Tata Sky is a brand I was very pleasant to associate with me because of the kind of standards it believes in.. When it comes to quality and service, and the brand Tata Sky stands for.
