Perfectionist Aamir visited Kashmir to shoot an ad campaign for Incredible India.

Describing the beauty of Kashmir, he said, “Kashmir is breathtakingly beautiful. The people are nice and hospitable. The weather is cold but not that cold. I hope Bollywood returns to Kashmir like the good old days for shooting.”

Look at Aamir’s exclusive images taken during his visit to Kashmir.

Abhishek Bachchan is currently working with perfectionist actor Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3 and the he is very happy to get this chance.

He says, “The icing on the cake is that I get to work with somebody like Aamir. He’s a senior I have always looked up and whose work I have always admired. I always wanted to work with him but I never had the gumption to walk up to him and say that.

Dhoom 3 is not a one-sided film but about these two characters going at each other and as equal a part as you can get. Aamir is a wonderful actor and top of his game right now. I will get to learn so much from him.”

Recently Aamir Khan announced the birth of a baby boy through surrogacy. And now Aamir revealed his son’s name on social networking site Facebook. He has named his son Azad after his great grand uncle and freedom fighter Maulana Azad.

Aamir posted on his wall, “Hey guys, most excited to share with y’all that we have finally chosen a name for our baby boy… Azad. Azad Rao Khan. I left the final choice to Kiran, and she has named him after my great grand uncle Maulana Azad, the great freedom fighter, whom the family is most proud of. Azad means free or liberated. We want to thank everyone for their warm wishes and blessings, and needless to say we are absolutely overjoyed and feel most blessed. Much love. a.”

Well! Perfectionist actor has named his baby quickly, now we are waiting to know the name of Baby Bachchan.

Look at the pics of Bollywood stars such as Aamir Khan, Arjun Rampal, Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar, Preity Zinta etc. who partied with Hollywood star Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise has come to India to promote his upcoming film Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan will promote child nutrition; he was appointed the national brand ambassador of UNICEF. Known for doing his work with perfection Aamir said he takes this new job as a responsibility and not as a burden and he is honoured to be a part of the UNICEF family.

Aamir will work to solve the problem of malnutrition in children less than two years.
While talking to reporters, actor said, “I realize there is a lot to be done and I hope that by lending my voice I can make a difference to the lives of children and thereby to the future of our country.”

“This issue is foremost to me and I hope this initiative is successful,” he added.

Aamir said, “If a newborn child is not physically and mentally healthy, we start on a bad foot.”

A campaign will be done and with the help of popular mediums such as TV, newspapers, radio, paintings etc. they will try to reach millions of parents and children in the country.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare issued notification to the Indian film industry to ban smoking scene in films and TV programmes or they want them to show the smoking scene with disclaimers in the beginning and middle of the film and they have also included a list of other demands in it. Filmmakers do not like the notice issued to them, they are criticising the government’s action. Aamir Khan has also expressed his view about the matter.

The actor says, “I have never advocated smoking, which is why I have stayed away from doing tobacco advertisements. However, it is unfortunate and unreasonable that we are asking for cigarette smoking to be justified in our cinema.

If I make a historical film on Sir Winston Churchill, whose trademark was his cigar, then I can hardly disturb the frame with a disclaimer or a ticker saying “Smoking kills.” Also, if I show Churchill without his cigar, I am not being true to my subject. Not showing my character the way he was is not only curbing my creative freedom as a filmmaker, but I am also being dishonest with my audience. My audience will most certainly object to my disturbing the frame with a public service message, even if it is in the backdrop.

I am in favour of having a disclaimer at the beginning of a film where you warn the public about the perils of smoking. I don’t even mind recording a separate clip saying how the use of tobacco/ cigarettes is harmful. But I am not in favour of anyone interfering with the creative process of my film.

Murder is illegal too, but we show it on screen. We don’t have disclaimers for it. If the Government feels so strongly about smoking, they should ban the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products. If the sale is legal, then why attack smoking only in cinema?

My answer to the Government’s directive on banning smoking on screen or showing it with justifications in a film is a three pronged one:

1. If you show other illegal activities on screen, then don’t attack only smoking; 2. Don’t attack my creative freedom; 3. Don’t take away the audience’s right to enjoy cinema by imposing views/restrictions on them, especially when they could be watching a crucial scene. How can you do that?”

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is all set ready to debut on TV as a talk show host. Early next year we will watch Aamir appearing on Star Plus with a show based on social issues.

While talking to reporters Aamir said, “The show is about India and real life  stories… stories of common people…real people. I am sure people will connect with the show. It is not a fiction show. One can call it a talk show.”

“I am very excited about the show. I am learning new things,” the 45-year-old actor added.

Aamir’s show will be broadcast simultaneously in eight languages.

“Real characters touch people and so we are showing them on the show. We hope the show will be a clutter breaker. Aamir has the ability to move people with his experimentation and creativity,” Star India CEO Uday Shankar said.

Well! We have already seen many Bollywood biggies such as Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, Sanjay Dutt, Juhi Chawla and Salman Khan hosting TV shows and now we have to wait for some time to watch perfectionist Aamir Khan appearing on it.

Bollywood star Aamir Khan is coming up on television with a reality show. He has named his show as ‘Mera Bharat Mahan’ and the show is inspired with Oprah Winfrey’s Talk Show. Reports are that during the shooting of the first episode Aamir cried on the sets quite a few times.

“The shooting of the first episode was quite an emotional affair. Aamir Khan broke down quite a few times during the shoot and had to take breaks to get back to his normal self. Not just him, a lot of people in the audience cried many times. The whole atmosphere on the sets was charged up and somber. Though Kiran (Rao, his wife) is not creatively involved in the show, she was there by her husband’s side,” a source told Mid Day.

“Aamir had not met the people beforehand because he wanted to retain spontaneity, so his reactions were very natural. The shooting happened very quietly. The team of the show had been working on the idea for over a year,” added the source.

Though Aamir has named his TV show as ‘Mera Bharat Mahan’ but this title is registered with Ekta Kapoor’s production house and the star has requested her for this title.

Aamir Khan is not only a great actor who delivers successful films but is also a successful producer.

Earlier we have seen the images of Aamir Khan in police uniform during the shooting of Reema Kagti’s next film. Along with Aamir, Rani and Kareena will also be seen in this film. Aamir’s pictures from his upcoming film were leaked online and he was wearing the uniform.

Now the latest buzz is that Aamir Khan is re-shooting all uniform scenes in civilian clothes because he didn’t find the dress doing justice to the seriousness of the role he was portraying in the film.

Well! Now we will see Aamir in civilian dress in Reema Kagti’s next film.

Thanks to the ZoOm for this news.

There was a rumour of Aamir Khan replacing Sanjay Dutt in the next edition of the Munna Bhai franchise. It was said that he will be seen along with Sharman Joshi.

But the fact is something else. Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s official representative says, “We are not even ready with the script of the next “Munna Bhai” flick and this is a baseless humour. Vidhu Vinod Chopra doesn’t begin the casting for his films until he completes his script. Besides, Aamir Khan is not free for another two years.”

When he was asked about the promos of the third edition of the film showing Sanjay and Arshad, he replied, “The promo with them was shot two years ago.”
