People trust Aamir Khan more than they trust God: Ram Gopal Varma
Ram Gopal Varma and Aamir Khan may not see eye-to-eye. But their cold equation doesn’t prevent Ramu to liken Aamir to God.
While Varma has been praising Amitabh Bachchan’s Bbuddah - Hoga Terra Baap no end, he hasn’t surprisingly seen Aamir’s production Delhi Belly.
“Didn’t see as Delhi Belly subject is not to my taste but its super hit status makes me feel like an insect..so I just want to crawl under a rock and die a quiet death,” Ramu posted on his Twitter page.
Ramu, an avowed atheist, added that he might start believing in Aamir.
“Never believed in Ram Jesus or Allah but seeing the variation coming from just one man, from Lagaan to Taare Zameen Par to Delhi Belly, I am seriously considering believing in Aamir.... The way he took such a subject matter and made it a super hit it looks like people might not trust God completely but they trust Aamir completely,” Ramu wrote.
Ramu and Aamir have just worked in one film Rangeela after which they fell apart and never worked together again. Aamir has said that he feels lucky to be not working with Ramu again!

Delhi Belly's success bash
Anil Kapoor congratulated Aamir on his success while Kunal Roy Kapur, Vir Das, Poorna Jagannathan, Shenaz Treasury, Anusha Dandekar basked in the compliments. But it wasn't just the family and cast who made it to the do. Other guests like Bhushan Kumar and wife Divya Khosla Kumar and Prasoon Joshi too, got into the spirit of partying and were seen having a whale of a time here.
Aamir Khan's Delhi Belly beats Amitabh Bachchan's Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap in box office battle
The battle lines were drawn and the inevitability of the Amitabh-Aamir comparisons sealed when both flicks released on the same day- July 3. The crucial 'opening' (weekend collections), as the film trade calls it, is the yardstick for measuring success and in this case, it was even more keenly watched than usual. The Aamir Khan-produced Delhi Belly , an adult-certified comic caper, aimed at the right side of India's population came up trumps, finishing the opening weekend with a Rs 26-crore net from domestic screens and adding another Rs 6.7 crore from overseas.
Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap (BHTB), produced by AB Corp, reported a domestic weekend of Rs 7.5 crore net and an overseas weekend of Rs 2.25 crore. Within nearly a week post the release, DB has grown by Thursday to a total domestic net collection of over Rs 46 crore and an overseas collection of Rs 9.8 crore. Bbuddah, on the other hand, has collected Rs 11.5 crore net domestically and another Rs 4 crore net overseas.
The third contender -- also aimed at younger viewers -- Transformers-III, which released last weekend, earned Rs 12.5 crore net (opening weekend) with paid previews and 3D collections playing a big part. For Reliance Mediaworks CEO, Anil Arjun, this was an interesting week because all three releases catered to three distinct content genres. According to figures from Big Cinemas - India's largest multiplex chain which runs 250 screens -- 53% of its week's contribution came from Delhi Belly, followed by Transformers with 18% and BHTB with 14%.
Imran, Aamir Khan together on screen for the first time
The latest trailer of “Delhi Belly”, to come out July 19, will bring together Aamir and Imran Khan for the first time in a mock-argument over the colourful and lurid content of the adult comedy.
The trailer, shot by the film’s director Abhhinay Deo last week, is bound to raise more eyebrows than anything that has ever come out from the distinguished Aamir Khan Productions.
“Aamir wants the potential audience for ‘Delhi Belly’ to know that this is not a film for the squeamish or the purists. By bringing Imran into the discussion on aesthetics and how ‘Delhi Belly’ will reverse Aamir’s image as a producer, Aamir clearly wants to let the world know that ‘Delhi Belly’ is the ultimate culture shock for Aamir’s fans,” said a source.
Imran actually lets loose a volley of choicest Hindi abuses in it.
“It’s all in fun. But it will shock Aamir’s and Imran’s fans out of their wits. Aamir has always been known to be this no-nonsense guardian-like figure to Imran… to see him let off a chain of maa-bahen gaalis in front of Aamir is quite an aesthetic shock,” added the source.
The next superhero - Salman Khan or Aamir Khan!
They are quite an incredible lot -- these super heroes, I mean. They wear undies over their latex tights, are armed with latest gadgets and gizmos but can’t do without their old-age cape. Superheroes are a rarity in Bollywood but its bigger cousin Hollywood has given us many -- the Superman, Spiderman, Batman and the almost forgotten He-Man, apart from many others.
For a long time Bollywood was content with the likes of ersatz superheroes like Tarzan. Hrithik Roshan broke the mould with the first Bollywood super hero flick Krrish. Now, Shahrukh Khan is taking the genre further with his film Ra.One in which he plays a character named G.One.
So the obvious question that popped in our minds is which actor would you like to see play a super hero next. Aamir Khan certainly has the dedication to transform himself to suit the role, something he proved more than convincingly in Ghajini when he turned into beefcake. Salman Khan has shown his mettle in doing action roles. So the choice obviously boils down to these two Khans.
But we ask you. Which one would you vote for as the next superhero? Aamir or Salman?
More Bollywood Stars Join Aamir Khan In Boycotting Award Ceremonies
National Award winner actor Ajay Devgn has joined Aamir Khan saying that he has also lost interest in such ceremonies, which are cropping up almost every year. He thinks that the aim of the organizers is to only market themselves through these awards and celebrities. The 41-year old actor says that he has stopped attending award functions as these are given to only those actors, who attend the events. He adds that if all actors start attending these events then the awards will have to be divided into three categories. He further says that they need to market and sell their awards.
This year, Ajay was nominated for four awards – Star Screen Awards, Big Star Entertainment Award, Zee Cine Awards and Apsara Awards in the best actor category for Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. But the actor did not attend any one of them and did not receive any too.
His Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai co-star Emraan Hashmi has also same opinion. According to him, the award ceremonies try to keep everyone happy. He adds that these award ceremonies keep three categories of awards for every actor. He finds this very ridiculous and does not want to be a part of this circus.
Bollywood’s leading lady Kareena Kapoor also feels that most of such awards are given to the undeserving candidates. She adds that the actors, who do not attend them, are never declared as the winners.
Suniel Shetty thinks that some of these awards are rigged but not all of them. He maintained a diplomatic stand saying that he does not attend award ceremonies because of his other prior commitments.

Aamir, Kareena and Rani team up for a suspense thriller
When Aamir Khan signs a project, it is news and when he is cast along with two reigning Bollywood beauties, it is news hot enough to scorch the gossip columns. The project we are talking about is Reema Kagti’s next film which is being produced by Excel Entertainment and Aamir Khan Productions. Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor have reportedly been signed opposite perfectionist Khan. Rani Mukerji has earlier worked with Aamir Khan in the smash-hit Ghulam and was even part of the historical Mangal Pandey -The Rising. Meanwhile, Kareena was Aamir’s co-star in last year’s blockbuster 3 Idiots.Aamir wrote, “Well, the lead actresses for my new film have been locked. Kareena and Rani. Am so happy to be working with Kareena again after 3i, and most excited about working again with Rani after so long. Difficult to concentrate on my work with such beautiful co-stars around ;-)”
Kagti, who has earlier gathered applauds for ‘Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd,’ will now work on this suspense thriller drama. Talking about the script Aamir said, “Most unusual and very intriguing. I am quite excited about it and cant wait to start.” The film is scheduled to go to the floor in late February or early March of next year.
Aamir Khan shares the dias with Hillary Clinton
During her visit to India, Mrs. Clinton, attended a special interactive session with the students of Xavier College in Mumbai on Saturday and shared the dias with Bollywood star Aamir Khan, who’s also the brand ambassador of the education campaign Teach India.
During this interactive session, Aamir emphasized the need for changes in the education. He said, “Today, students are mostly focusing on memorizing their subjects because they have to face questions like ‘Did you come first?’, ‘How much did you score in mathematics?’”
“I would like to hear teachers telling students: ‘Hey, your friend is weak in this subject, would you help him?’”
“This will incorporate the feeling of sharing and caring among students and will help in making them good individuals. We should teach our kids to be caring.”
“Sadly, more emphasis is given to report cards and less on exploring minds.”
“Teaching should be a high paying job so that youngsters should aim at becoming teachers. I would like to see that one day in India, teaching is the most highly paid job.”
Hillary was quite impressed with the star and praised him saying, “It is a great delight to be here with Aamir Khan, who is not only a Bollywood icon but also the great advocate for education….I am here to see how US and India can work for the common cause of education, which is the great equalizer and gateway to opportunities,” Mrs. Clinton said.
Clinton supported Aamir’s view and said, “I think the actual requirement to become successful in the world is cooperation and collaboration among people and among countries.”
I don’t think Shah Rukh ever was ‘King Khan’ – Aamir Khan
Keeping up his swipes at superstar Shah Rukh Khan and the No.1 slot in Bollywood, Aamir Khan, riding o
n the super success of his revenge drama ‘Ghajini’, has said he never thought Shah Rukh was ever on the top pedestal at all.
I don’t think Shah Rukh ever was ‘King Khan’ says Aamir Khan
He also said Oscar-winning ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ failed to “touch” him.
Aamir, during CNN’s special edition of ‘Talk Asia’, was asked how he feels about being termed the new ‘King Khan’ after the success of ‘Ghajini’. He replied: “I had absolutely no intention of kicking Shah Rukh off his pedestal. Though I have to say, I don’t think he ever was on it.”
Elaborating, Aamir said: “In my opinion, the actor who I really look up to is Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. He is someone whose work I really like, a fantastic actor and the kind of stardom Mr. Bachchan has seen, none of us can ever hope to see.”
The 44-year-old actor, whose latest work, the Hindi remake of Tamil film ‘Ghajini‘, was a success at the box office, says he feels satisfied with his films only if they turn out to be as they are intended.
“You can never really tell until you see a film with the audience. How it is going to play with the audience. For me, what is important is that when I see the film once it is ready, has it turned out the way we wanted it to? If we have done that, then that makes me feel happy,” he said.
Aamir, whose own directorial debut film ‘Taare Zameen Par‘, failed to get nominated in the foreign film category at the 81st Annual Academy Awards this year, says that ‘Slumdog Millionaire‘ failed to “touch” him.
“I thought the movie was well intended. It was a very sincere attempt, but it didn’t touch me personally, and I suspect it because I’m not used to watching Indians speak English, all these slum kids talking in English… it’s strange,” said Aamir.

GHAJINI will be breaking the record set by SINGH IS KINNG
Aamir Khan's GHAJINI is expected to set a record of sorts. While the promotion of the film kick-started during Diwali, the Indian distributors, Studio 18, have decided to go that extra mile and ensure that the biggies rakes in big moolah when it opens during the Christmas week. While SINGH IS KINNG was released with 1,050 prints [physical and digital] in India, GHAJINI will have close to 1,200 prints in circulation in India alone.

Anurag Kashyap, Danny Boyle want Aamir, not SRK
Bombay Velvet, the next film to be made by Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle, will most probably star Aamir Khan in the lead role and not Shah Rukh Khan. Anurag Kashyap, who is scripting the film, has clarified that they are looking only at Aamir for the lead role and have no plans of approaching Shah Rukh Khan. Anurag believes the role is tailor made for Aamir and they are hoping the 3 Idiots actor will agree to essay it. Anurag will be narrating the script to Aamir in a couple of weeks.
If for some reason Aamir does not agree to the project, Anurag and Danny will consider some other actor, but it will not be Shah Rukh as they believe that he does not suit the character.
Danny had approached Shah Rukh to play the role of the quizmaster in Slumdog Millionaire but Shah Rukh had then turned him down. The role finally went to Anil Kapoor and made him an international star.
Aamir makes a surprise stop at Jaipur doctor’s home
News list once again with his promotional activities of his latest movie 3 Idiots. Its reported that recently Aamir Khan had to visit a visit to a doctor in the middle of the night after falling sick.According to a report, The 44-year-old actor was travelling from Ahmedabad to Jaipur by road when he complained of having fever and had decided to visit a nearby doctor in Jaipur at around 3am.
“Aamir Khan came to me with a running temperature suffering from viral and a sore throat. He stayed for 30 minutes, when we discussed a bit about his movies. It was a treat to me and my wife finding Aamir Khan infront of us.” said Dr Punit Saxena, Associate Professor at the Sawai Man Singh Hospital.
The Medicine was administered to Aamir and Saxena said, “We tried to wake up our kids to meet the bollywood actor but they did not believe us.”
Before his departure, Bollywood Aamir Khan left a letter of appreciation for the doctor and a gold ring for treating him.
“I feel sorry for disturbing you in the middle of the night. Thanks for your help and kindly accept the ring as a token of appreciation and friendship,” Aamir wrote in the letter.

Khan wars: 3 Idiots puts Aamir in number one spot
Mumbai: Rs 240 crore – yes, that's what Aamir Khan's new film 3 Idiots has made worldwide at the box office and it's yet to complete its second week.
The Vidhu Vinod Chopra production has made a record as the highest grosser in the history of Indian cinema, beating the last number one Ghajini featuring Aamir again.
Aamir Khan is now the undisputed king at the box office, which raises the stakes for both Shah Rukh and Salman Khan who have their own ambitious ventures My Name Is Khan and Veer hitting screens soon.
"As far as Salman’s Veer is concerned there is pressure that it should work because the budget was very high. However, the pressure is more on SRK’s My Name Is Khan after Aamir’s successful run at the box office," trade analyst Amod Mehra said.
Coming up first is Salman's period drama Veer directed by Anil Sharma and shot with a budget of Rs 50 crore. It’s said that Salman has a personal interest in the film since the story is written by the actor himself. Also, though Salman delivered one big hit Wanted last year, he also has to live down 2 duds Main Aur Mrs Khanna and London Dreams.
But more than Salman it will be Shah Rukh who has to match up to Aamir's success, and not just for personal reasons.
"All three of us are magicians. Wait and see when we come together," SRK in his usual witty self said.
My Name is Khan jointly produced by SRK and Karan Johar is a comeback by the hit SRK-Kajol and Karan Johar combination. The film has reportedly been sold to Fox Star Studios for a record Rs 100 crore.
The film which releases worldwide on February 12 has a lot of expectations to live up to especially since Shah Rukh's last venture Billu Badshah didn't work at the box office.
And believe it or not, SRK who was once wary of social networking sites has just started his Twitter account. As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Shah Rukh out of Aamir's life
Aamir's dog had made headlines earlier because of his name. Not only had it created controversy but also a big rift between the two leading names of the tinsel town. Now, with the exit of the controversial pet, the equation between the two leading Khan's of bollywood is bound to become stronger.
With Shah Rukh out of Aamir's life, let's hope SRK will be the most relieved man at the moment.
3 Idiots sweeps Screen Nominations
 '3 Idiots' seems to have swept aside every film of consequence that released this year. Such is the impact of the film, a lot of which has to do with its late release, that every other movie that came before it, seems to be dwarfed in comparison. And this is a year which has seen films like 'Dev D', 'Gulaal', 'Firaaq', 'Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year', 'Kaminey', 'Paa' and 'Love Aaj Kal', all of which have stretched the language of Hindi cinema in their own manner. But '3 Idiots' seems all set to bag most major awards. An indication of things to come was received when the film received 21 nominations out of 28 categories in the forthcoming 16th Annual Screen Awards.It is the first film to win so many awards in the 16 year history of Screen Awards. Rajkumar Hirani's latest film has been nominated in the Best Film category along with 'Dev D', 'Kaminey'. 'Love Aaj Kal' and 'Paa'. Aamir Khan, the film's protagonist has but naturally been nominated in the Best Actor category along with Amitabh Bachchan (Paa), Ranbir Kapoor (Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year), Saif Ali Khan (Love Aaj Kal) and Shahid Kapur ( Kaminey). Hirani too finds himself in distinguished company with fellow directors Vishal Bhardwaj, R. Balki, Imtiaz Ali, and Anurag Kashyap, in the nominations for Best Director. Actress Priyanka Chopra leads from the front where the nominations for Best Actress are concerned as she has two nominations, one for 'Kaminey' and the other for 'What's Your Raashee?'. The other actresses nominated in this category include Vidya Balan for 'Paa', Kareena Kapoor for '3 Idiots', Katrina Kaif for 'New York' and Deepika Padukone for 'Love Aaj Kal'. This is probably the first time that a father and son have both been nominated for awards even though in different categories. Actor Rishi Kapoor has two nominations in Best Supporting Actor category (Love Aaj Kal and Luck By Chance), quite like his son, Ranbir who has two nominations in the Best Actor category. The others nominated for Best Male Supporting Actor are Abhimanyu Singh for 'Gulaal', R. Madhavan and Sharman Joshi for '3 Idiots'. The Best Female Supporting Actor nominations include Arundhati Nag for 'Paa', Divya Dutt for 'Delhi 6', Guahar Khan for 'Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year', Neha Dhupia for 'Raat Gayi Baat Gayi' and Shahana Goswami for 'Firaaq'. The Best Actor in a Comic Role sees nominations for Om Vaidya (3 Idiots), Paresh Rawal (De Dana Dan), Sanjay Mishra (All The Best) and Vinay Pathak (Raat Gayi Baat Gayi). The Best Actor in a Negative Role sees nominations of actors like Boman Irani (3 Idiots), Kay Kay Menon (Gulaal), Mahesh Manjrekar (Wanted) and Manish Chaudhari (Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year). Hirani also finds himself nominated along with Abhijat Joshi in the Best Story, Best Screenplay and Best Dialogues categories for '3 Idiots'. His fellow directors like R. Balki, Imtiaz Ali, and Anurag Kashyap too have been nominated in all three categories. The music composer nominations sees Pritam leading with three nominations, 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani', 'Love Aaj Kal' and 'Tum Mile', followed by A. R. Rahman for 'Delhi 6' and Vishal Bhardwaj for 'Kaminey'. The Best Background Score has nominations from Amit Truvedi (Dev D), Shantanu Moitra, Atul Raninga and Sanjay Wandreker (3 Idiots), Vishal Bhardwaj (Kaminey), Illayaraja (Paa) and Salim Suliaman (Rocket Singh – Salesman of The Year).

The Most Promising Debut Director has young Ayan Mukjerjee (Wake Up Sid) competing with Nandita Das (Firaaq), Pankaj Advani (Sankat City), Zoya Akhtar (Luck By Chance) and Shivajee Chandrabhushan (Frozen). The Most Promising Newcomer Male has nominations like Amole Gupte and Chandan Roy Sanyal (Kaminey), Navin Kaushik (Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year) and Om Vaidya (3 Idiots). In the Female category, Mahie Gill and Kalki Koechlin (Dev D), Jesse Randhawa (Gulaal), Gauhar Khan (Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year) and Giselle Monteiro (Love Aaj Kal) have been nominated. It's a rare year when the likes of Ashutosh Gowariker and Rakesh Mehra do not find a mention in any of the categories despite having a release each this year in 'Delhi 6' and 'What's Your Raashee?'. |
Aamir Khan’s Facebook identity is revealed, star is Idiot
And, Aamir Khan thought that his fans won’t be able to zero him down on a social networking platform? Well, his ardent fans have done just that by proving him wrong- they’ve found out Aamir’s secret identity on Facebook!
According to reports, what was thought to be a supposed case of an online identity theft in Bollywood, is unfurling many a surprises now. A Facebook ID called ‘Pucca Idiot’ is generating overwhelming interest amongst the netizens, thanks to a speculation that suggests that none other than Aamir is the `Pucca Idiot` himself!
What’s interesting is the fact that the profile originally called Akash Malhotra (Aamir’s character`s name in Dil Chahta Hai) has recent pictures of the profile holder’s European tour and people are wondering if these pictures are of the same holiday that Aamir and Kiran Rao went for recently.
Other things that bear a rather uncanny resemblance with ‘Mr Perfectionist’ Aamir Khan are the pieces of information provided by the user. The person in question lives in Bandra, Mumbai like and his interests are badminton and tennis, with his faviourite comic being- Calvin and Hobbes, much alike Aamir.
The profile user is highly active and has been interacting with people majorly with 918 friends in his friends list already. Quite incidentally, the posts by the user come at odd hours on a regular basis which reminds us of Aamir’s claim that he uses net during night and chats with a fake ID.
Looks like, this is Aamir’s latest marketing strategy for his forthcoming flick ‘3 Idiots’, as the profile also has much information about the movie. So, whether it’s Aamir or a faker who is doing all this, it’s surely going to help the flick.
