Aamir Khan To Shoot A Promo Song For 'Talaash'

 Aamir Khan To Shoot A Promo Song For 'Talaash'

 Mumbai: When news came about Aamir Khan's latest film with Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor being postponed, the rumour mills went into a frenzy speculating the probable causes. While a section of the press reported how director of the film Reema Kagti and Aamir had a fall-out, others spoke about him trying to push the release of the film to after 'Dhoom 3'.

Now, word is that the makers of this film are gearing up to shoot a promotional video towards the end of this month. And our sources say that this move could indicate that all is well between Reema and Aamir. The source says, "This shows that he is not only happy with the film but also doesn’t want to re-shoot any portion. With this song/video, the makers are trying to make a point that all is well among the members of the film and that the film will be releasing on November 30, as was originally scheduled."

Our source adds, "Reema and the crew are preparing to use it like the face of the film. The song will feature Aamir, Rani and Kareena Kapoor." The song will be composed by Aamir blue-eyed boy Ram Sampath. Our source also adds that all the three stars will feature in the same frame for the first time ever. The track will be choreographed by Bosco-Ceasar.

 We say this ‘coz we are tired of watching Bollywood 40-plus superstars chase pretty young things in miniskirts, sing ludicrous love songs and sock goofy goons in their faces. When are they gonna stop behaving like callow boys and become grown up men?
We wonder if Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and even perfectionist Aamir Khan are stuck in a time warp. If you look at the superstars’ recent movies, they are still playing roles that are close to the ones they did when they started out 20-something years ago! And it makes us wanna scream out loud: Why can’t Bollywood superstars strike a balancing act between playing 20-year-old loverboy and 40-year-old gentleman, just like George Clooney and Brad Pitt have done? While Hollywood hotties proudly show-off their age lines and graying hair, Bollywood biggest names hide time – or try to – by using the wonders of cosmetology and Photoshop!

In an interview to Bollywood Life during the promotions of Agent Vinod, we had a glimmer of hope when Saif Ali Khan said: “I can’t play a regular loverboy at 40. I want to play slightly older, mature characters now. Loverboys are for the younger lot to play. If I try to play a 20-year-old, I will look old. I want to look younger playing the right age.”

Ironically after making such a tall claim, we discovered that the Nawabi actor’s next film happens to be Cocktail - a love square involving two girls (Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty) and two guys (Saif and Randeep Hooda). Since he’s a father of two in real life, shouldn’t Saif be playing a father, or a character closer to that age group, and not a loverboy-playboy type these days?

Various other stars are guilty of such ridiculous acts. After two big disasters – RA.One and Don 2 – SRK has gone back to the genre that made him the superstar he is today. The King of romance’s forthcoming films, Yash Chopra’s untitled film opposite Katrina Kaif and Rohit Shetty Chennai Express, are full of the emotion called love.

Never mind that Rowdy Rathore set the cash registers ringing at the box office, but it was quite odd to watch the 40-plus, soon-to-be daddy for the second time Akshay Kumar act cheesy, goofy and run after a girl half his age (Sonakshi Sinha). Don’t you think so too?

As for Salman Khan, we thought finally he’d changed his heart and would do some hardcore action in Kabir Khan’s action thriller Ek Tha Tiger. After watching the film’s theatrical we realised the Brat Khan isn’t yet ready to give up those funny gags or perky punch lines or even wooing a beautiful woman onscreen with a little song and dance.

Ajay Devgn and Aamir Khan are less guilty of getting stuck in the rut, but if you think of Singham repetitive stunts and Rancho act in 3 Idiots, you can’t help but tell all these fast-ageing superstars that it’s time to wake up before the coffee gets overdone and bitter! And let the real 20-plus newbie actors play 20-year olds onscreen.

Aamir Khan shows his support to friend and fellow actor Salman Khan for his film Ek Tha Tiger

Aamir Khan loved the promos of friend and actor Salman Khan’s film Ek Tha Tiger, and is looking forward to seeing the film. Aamir says that it will be successful at the box office.

Produced by Aditya Chopra for Yash Raj Films, the romantic thriller will see Salman pairing up with Katrina Kaif. Directed by New York fame Kabir Khan, the film is set for August 15 release.

“I haven’t seen the film. But I liked the promos a lot and I think this will be a superhit. I texted Salman, Kabir saab and Adi (Aditya Chopra) that I liked the promos,” Aamir told reporters in Mumbai.

Ek Tha Tiger promos have been banned in Pakistan following allegations that the film portrays the neighbouring country’s intelligence agency ISI in a bad light. When asked about this, Aamir said: “I will see it for sure. But I don’t know why they are not showing it in Pakistan.”

Talking about a particular scene in the film where Katrina is telling Salman it’s high time he should get married, Aamir says he hopes his fellow actor pays attention to the suggestion in real life. He said: “We have been telling him to get married since a long time now. He didn’t listen to us. Maybe he will listen to Katrina.

Aamir Khan `Satyamev Jayate` season 2 likely next year

Aamir Khan `Satyamev Jayate` season 2 likely next year

 Mumbai: Following the success of his debut television show `Satyamev Jayate`, Bollywood star Aamir Khan is keen on bringing its second season by next year.

Aamir, 47, made his debut on small screen with the social issue-based show, highlighting problems like female foeticide, dowry, inter-caste marriage and others.

"On an emotional level, I would want Season 2 of the show. Hopefully, by next year we should come up with next season," Aamir told reporters here.

"I remember few people telling me that this show is a social (one) and it will not work. But seeing the impact it has had....It has proved cynics wrong," he said.

Before the makers intend to go ahead with the second season of `Satyamev Jayate` they would carry out ground activity by taking people`s reactions about the show and gauge its impact in the society.

"Our research team will access the impact created by the show, go to different places take reaction of people. We need to understand what we had set out to do with this show have we actually achieved...Reached that mark.
All these things will consume two-three months," Aamir said.

"Also, we have a data ready where we have got responses about the show either through e-mails, text messages, phone calls or on internet medium...We are tracking all this," he said.

After `Satyamev Jayate` highlighted the menace of female foeticide, a number of state governments have woken up to the malice, the latest being Maharashtra.

In an attempt to curb female foeticide, the Maharashtra government is considering to slap charges of homicide on those involved in it. The state government intends to send a proposal to the centre to apply Indian Penal Code 302 (murder) on those involved including family members and medicos.

"It is an important issue. I am happy that they are thinking of this step. Abortion is legal in our country but sex selection is not and there should be a harsh punishment for it," Aamir said.

"Its not that due to our the show, that Maharashtra state government is taking this step. They have been working towards it for long, its just that may be they have got a boost as lot of people are with them in preventing this thing," he said.

It was in the first episode of `Satyamev Jayate` in May, where Aamir highlighted the issue of female foeticide.

"Lot of ministers called me saying they liked our show. And they are also getting pro-active and doing things," he said.

Did Shahrukh Khan use black money for ‘RA.One’?

Anubhav Sinha, the director of Shahrukh Khan’s magnum opus RA.One has been caught in a scandal involving black money along with film producer Vashu Bhagnani

Bollywood’s big producer Vashu Bhagnani and director Anubhav Sinha have been caught red-handed in a sting operation conducted by a news channel while discussing deals about converting black money into white for their films. The duo has been closely associated for a very long time, having also worked on RA.One. While Vashu is a renowned Bollywood producer and financier, Anubhav Sinha directed Shahrukh Khan’s ambitious film. But does it imply that SRK was aware of the money laundering behind his back? We sincerely hope not, but we have to ask.

Writer-director Anees Bazmee was also caught on camera admitting the fact that money laundering is a norm in the film industry and that the three have been functioning in the rampant black market for the longest time. All three were seen talking to undercover reporters posing as investors. Their conversations have been taped and we see the dummy investors persuading the filmmakers to allow them to finance films in a way that would help them convert black money into white.

Are we shocked? Not really. But are we amazed that such high-profile individuals could be nabbed in such an ignominously easy way. Yes. Especially since the movies they made – RA.One, at least – are so hi-tech and complex!

 Aamir Khan gave the rights of his 'Delhi Belly' track 'Bhaag DK Bose' for free for Rohit Shetty film 'Bol Bachchan'

Mumbai: Aamir Khan gave the rights of his Delhi Belly track Bhaag DK Bose for free for Rohit Shetty film Bol Bachchan. Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan recent release begins with a 'Thank You Aamir Khan' credit.
In case if you are wondering what is Mr Perfectionist's contribution to a Rohit Shetty film no less, here is the answer... The makers were keen to include the song as they felt it was perfect for a musical sequence filmed on Abhishek.
Says a source, "They were told that Aamir holds the rights for the song. When the star was approached, he gave his consent immediately. But when the talk veered towards monetary compensation, he refused to be compensated for it." 

 
Adds the source, "The copyright of the songs are usually held by music companies from which permission is taken before they are used. Otherwise there is a copyright infringement issue. For every song utilized, a royalty has to be given to them. But in Aamir case as the rights are with him, the royalty goes to him."
Rohit and Ajay were happy that Aamir willingly gave the right to use the song and refused to accept any royalty for it. The film's spokesperson confirmed that Aamir did not charge anything and the makers are thankful to him.
