Aamir Khan wants whoever he deals with to make money

Aamir Khan's last three films have raked in big money, proving that one doesn't need massive budgets to make a blockbuster and the ideology behind it is simple - he wants everyone associated with the movie to make money.


"It has to be win-win for everyone. My sense would be, as a creative person I would like to take that responsibility to make sure that the film is not top heavy and everyone earns," Aamir told NDTV in an interview.


"That's a policy I have followed all along is that when I do business with someone, so whether it's a distributor or whether I am an actor or it's the producer I am concerned with, whoever I deal with... should make money when they deal with me," he said.


Aamir, 45, is a filmmaker and has invested wisely in movies like 'Lagaan', 'Taare Zameen Par', 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'. All of them went on to become hits at the box office.


Not just that, as an actor, his last three releases - 'Taare Zameen Par', 'Ghajini' and '3 Idiots' have made quite a bit of moolah at the box-office with 'Ghajini' being sold at Rs.60 crore.


"I got very nervous when 'Ghajini' was sold at a very high price because I feel that we shouldn't go... This race is mad. I am basically a very middle class kind of person and I feel that so much money is at stake and people are going to lose money," said Aamir.


"I feel very stressed about that and I feel that there is no need to do that. When a film is good the upside will come to you," he added.

Aamir's 'Peepli Live' wins its first award

After his movies 'Lagaan' and 'Taare Zameen Par' which did well on the festival circuit, looks like Aamir Khan has another winner on his hands. His home production 'Peepli Live', which releases on August 13, has already won its first award. The movie, directed by Anusha Rizvi, picked up the prize for Best First Feature Film at the Durban International Film Festival.


The International Jury commented, "Peepli Live is an ambitious and well-realised film that deals with serious political issues in a witty and entertaining manner. It creates an enchanting world of colourful characters, images and music that engrosses viewers throughout."


Well, Aamir was the one who greenlighted Anusha's project. So he sure knows how to pick winners!

Aamir Khan talks insecurities, hopes and ‘Peepli Live’ dreams

When Aamir Khan enters the room at the Park Hyatt where we’re to interview him, he does so very quietly. He introduces himself and settles down on the sofa. At this point, he seems just like a regular guy. Then Aamir starts to re-touch his make-up. Ah, the star emerges! A star who’s openly nervous about producing an unconventional film with no big stars. It’s plain to see how much Aamir cares about his home production ‘Peepli Live’, a satire on society woven around farmer suicides, that he’s in the city to promote.


It’s also plain to see that he won’t answer a question specifically if he doesn’t really want to. He’ll just smile and say, “I feel awkward talking about that.” Now, don’t go thinking we asked him something offensive! That was actually his reply when we asked him what was the most touching fan experience he’d had! Aamir seems the serious, somewhat reserved sort. The kind of person who prefers reading books to magazines (Yes, he told us so). So we ask him what he’s reading at the moment and he tells us it’s a thriller he bought at New York Duty Free, though he can’t remember the name just then. We’ll put down that memory lapse to the hectic promotional travelling he’s been doing. Meanwhile, here’s the man on himself and what’s driving him right now.


Who is the real Aamir Khan? How would you describe yourself?
I don’t do that actually. I am what I am, it’s for people to decide what they think of me. First of all I see myself as a human being. Then I am a creative person, and as a creative person I work as an actor sometimes, as a director sometimes. I am all of these things. And I am just an average guy with my hopes and fears, insecurities and strengths and weaknesses like everyone else.


We’ve read on your blog that you’ve lost your appetite and sleep as Peepli Live’s release nears. Does this happen to you before every movie of yours or just this one?
(Smiles) That happens to me pretty much for every movie. When a film comes close to release, I get nervous about how people will react to it. I wonder whether the efforts and emotions of the entire team that has made the film, me included, will engage and entertain people; if it will connect with them.


You’ve talked about ‘Peepli Live’ being particularly tough because the movie doesn’t have any big stars. Did you ever think about acting in it yourself?
Very early on Anusha (Peepli Live’s director) and Mahmood (the casting director) and I discussed whether I should play Natha, who is the central character of the film. It was a great part. But for me to pull off Natha I would have had to go through a major physical transformation. I would have done it too if I were playing the part. We thought that we should do a screen test to see if at all I was suitable for the role. So we were flirting with that idea for a bit. Then they found Omkar (who plays Natha in the movie) when they were testing for some other part. And they really liked him. They showed his test to me and I agreed with them completely that we had found our Natha. After that, there was no point of me testing anymore.


When an unconventional script like this comes your way, do you think about the commercial aspects?
I don’t think about the commercial aspects when I decide to do it. My excitement about doing something is based purely on my reaction to the material. Once I’ve decided to do it then I look at the practical side. The film should work, economically it should be viable, and the people investing the money shouldn’t lose out. All these practical points come later.


You said in a recent interview that you only like your own movies because they’re universal.
(Looks surprised) I’ve never said that! But you're the second person to tell me about this interview. I’d like to look this up. I’ve never said that, it’s an inaccurate statement. Please clear the air. Actually when I watch my movies I always feel like I could have done better. Some of my films do have a universal theme, that’s true. And I do feel that less and less films are being made which are universally appealing to audiences across the country, people who live in smaller towns, villages, and cities. India is such a large country with people from so many different cultural and economic backgrounds living together. At one time there were many films being made which were viewed universally, I think less and less of those films are being made today. But no, not all my movies are universal either.


Having said that, has there been a role in recent times that you wish had come your way?
I don’t look at things that way. Occasionally I’ve felt that way but I can’t think of any strong example of late.


What are the projects you’re excited about for the future?
There’s ‘Dhobi Ghaat’, a film that my wife Kiran has written and directed, which I am also acting in. Then there’s ‘Delhi Belly’. It’s too early to talk about them now, we don’t even know when ‘Dhobi Ghaat' is releasing. Probably sometime in January.

Aamir's losing sleep as 'Peepli Live' release nears

Aamir Khan is known to give his heart and soul to his projects and the superstar admits that he's extremely nervous as his production venture 'Peepli Live' nears its release date.


"As 13th Aug gets closer, the butterflies in my stomach are really beginning to flutter around. Have lost my appetite and my sleep," Aamir wrote on his blog.


"I'm really depending on you guys (audiences) this time round for support. This is an especially tough one with no big stars and a film based in a rural background."


"For those of you living outside India please tell all your friends, neighbours, collegues, gardners etc, who may not have ever seen an Indian film before, to give this one a try. Assuming you like it of course," he added.


Directed by debutant Anusha Rizvi, 'Peepli Live' is a satire on society. It revolves around two impoverished farmers - Natha (Omkar Das Manikpuri) and Budhia (Raghubir Yadav) - who live in a village called Peepli. They are about to lose their land due to their debts.


An incompetent politician suggests they commit suicide to get government help. The news spreads and the media turns Natha into a celebrity.

Aamir wants SRK to watch 'Peepli Live' (srkthedon.blogspot.com)

There used to be a time when Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan didn't exactly get along (Remember Aamir writing about having a dog named Shah Rukh, and that not going down too well with SRK?). Now things have changed, and it's possible that Karan Johar is the man for bringing about a proper patch-up between the two Khans.


Karan's always been very close to Shah Rukh, and he's been getting closer to Aamir. It sort of started with Aamir's nephew Imran being cast in KJo's 'I Hate Luv Storys' and then Aamir being the only non-cast member invited to the movie's success party. In turn, Aamir invited Karan to the music launch of his home production 'Peepli Live'.


Later, Aamir and Karan met up with Shah Rukh in London, where he's shooting for 'Ra.One'.


And now Aamir has invited Shah Rukh to the premiere of 'Peepli Live'. He said that SRK attended the 'Raavan' premiere, and that he'd definitely invite him for 'Peepli Live'. Now if only we saw a similar thawing and bonding between SRK and Salman too. Maybe Aamir could step in to bring them together.

As they come closer together, their complicated relationship no more remains a secret.


The 35th film festival, which runs from Sep 9 to 19, will have 15 galas and 35 special presentations this year.


Apart from Kiran Rao, films by Robert Redford, Michael Winterbottom, Guillaume Canet, John Cameron Mitchell, Mike Mills and Andrucha Waddington will have their world premiere here.

Aamir, SRK bond over dinner (srkthedon.blogspot.com)

Look who was spotted flashing hashis (Japanese chopsticks) at the Hakkasan restaurant in London on Friday night over sushi and sashimi...


Bollywood superstars Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. And, with them, the film industry’s most celebrated filmmaker, Karan Johar, and the Bollywood Badshah’s stylish wife, Gauri Khan. The foursome gave Indians dining at this Japanese restaurant paisa vasool for their meals.


Aamir is in London (then LA, NY, Dubai...) to promote Peepli Live, Shah Rukh is there shooting for his futuristic RA One with Kareena Kapoor, and Karan flew to the UK to spend 20 days with SRK and Gauri and also work on his own script.


What is interesting is that in the midst of all their independent work activities, the superstars found time to break bread together. Aamir invited Karan, SRK and Gauri to a private screening of Peepli Live. SRK didn’t make it but Karan saw the film. After pack-up SRK and Aamir went for dinner, though. Accompanied by Gauri and Karan. A fan of both Khans said, “There were some jokes being cracked over which SRK and Aamir were laughing a lot. Gauri seemed to enjoy herself watching these guys cracking up.”

Aamir's coming to Los Angeles, New York, Dubai & Australia

He's promoting 'Peepli Live'; first stop was London, where he also met SRK


Aamir Khan is in promotion mode for his 'Peepli Live', and he's covering a whole wide marketing ground. His home production releases in August, and Aamir has already started on a world tour of sorts to get the buzz going for it. He posted on his Twitter page, “In London now. Travelling to LA, NY, Dubai and Australia for Peepli interviews and promotions.” We hear he's going to be in Dubai towards the end of the week.

It seems Aamir even organised a special screening of 'Peepli Live' which SRK wasn't able to attend. But Karan saw the movie, and posted on his Twitter page, "Just saw PEEPLI LIVE..an outstanding and alive slice of cinema..ironic,humourous,reflective and genius!! Makes you think and rethink. Bravo!!"

I only like my movies, says Aamir Khan

Actor-filmmaker Aamir Khan says he enjoys his own movies because they have universal appeal, something that other films lack.


"I only like my movies, which are universal like '3 Idiots', 'Lagaan' or 'Tare Zameen Par'. Other people do not believe in making anymore films which are universal. According to me, the only director who caters to the non-multiplex audience is Raju Hirani, others make cinema for cities," Aamir said in an interview on Zee News Celebrity chat show 'Kahiye Janab' to be aired on July 24.


The 45-year-old, who has produced 'Peepli Live', a satire on farmer's suicides and subsequent media and political response in the country, rues filmmakers ignore rural India.


"There is a clear divide between Bharat (Hindustan) and India. If I were to go to Hollywood to earn my living, I would feel much cut off from my roots, my home in Mumbai. Filmmakers these days no longer care about rural India," he added.


Aamir, who is playing one of the lead actors in 'Dhobi Ghaat', says getting the role in his wife Kiran Rao's directorial debut was not a cakewalk.


"Kiran is a fantastic director. People think that I am a perfectionist, but I had to go through an audition, to help her decide that I am good for the role and then she cast me. I am one of the four lead actors in the movie".

Aamir-Akshay star in new film for Income Tax Department

Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan, two of the highest tax payers in B-town, will star in a documentary produced by the Income Tax Department to spread the message of tax compliance.


The documentary which is about 20-minutes-long, is narrated by veteran actor Om Puri in his trademark baritone and will also star Priyanka Chopra, according to sources.


The documentary will be unveiled by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee during the first-ever Income Tax day celebrations on July 24 in New Delhi.


Akshay paid an advance tax of Rs 9 crore in March 2010, taking his total advance tax payment in the current financial year to Rs 18 crore.


Aamir with an advance tax payment of Rs 12 crore stands second. "The ensemble which includes Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra represent the youth and spirit of the country. They are successful and pay their income tax responsibly," a top I-T officer involved in the project said.


The documentary chronicles the journey of taxation in the country and the role of the department in collecting direct taxes for the government which subsequently are utilised for development projects.


The film is presently undergoing editing at a studio here and will be brought out in a smaller version of eight minutes too, sources said.


The I-T department is celebrating the Income Tax day to mark 150 years of taxation in the country, which began in 1860.


This would also be the last year for the Income Tax Act, 1961 which would be taken over by the proposed Direct Taxes Code (DTC) from the next financial year.


The ensemble of speakers for the department during the Income Tax Day celebrations also include corporate chiefs like Infosys mentor Narayan Murthy and Wipro founder Azim Premji.

Aamir is more powerful than Shahrukh

Aamir Khan has emerged as the most powerful man in Bollywood in the Filmfare power list for a second year running. And he has beaten Shah Rukh Khan for the third straight year in a row.


Aamir has had a blockbuster year with '3 Idiots' towards the end of 2009 and 'Ghajini' from late 2008 (that continued to wow the box office well into 2009). Comparatively, Shah Rukh's 'Billu' flopped and he had a guest appearance in another flop 'Dulha Mil Gaya'.


Third on the list was Rajkumar Hirani, the director of '3 Idiots', followed by A R Rahman (who picked up two Oscars for 'Slumdog Millionaire' in the course of 2009). On the number five spot was Karan Johar's Dharma Productions followed by Yashraj Films and Aamir Khan Productions.


Kareena Kapoor was number eight on the list , next came Hrithik Roshan, followed by Katrina Kaif on the number 10 spot.

What's the story behind Aamir and Karan getting closer?

Aamir Khan showed up some time ago for the 'I Hate Luv Storys' (IHLS) success bash, but people close to Karan Johar suggest that not too much should be read into this so-called new friendship.


"Aamir invited Karan to his 'Peepli Live' music release. Karan invited him back for his IHLS party. That's it. To conclude that they are working together in a film is not just pointless, it's also unnecessary," said the source.


If Aamir walked in sans his wife Kiran for the party, the film's director Punit Malhotra and his leading man Imran Khan were also seen solo at event but hardly looking lost.


"We had a mad evening. It was super-entertaining. I got everyone drunk," said Punit the day after the party. According to him, Imran's girlfriend Avantika was traveling.


Everyone from Sammir Dattani to Karan Johar was hung-over the next morning, Punit made sure of that. He personally went around chasing the guests and dowing shots down their throats.


Sonam Kapoor, the leading lady of 'I Hate Luv Storys', was supposed to fly down to Mumbai for the celebration party on Saturday. But she did not eventually show up because of the tight schedule in Edinburgh for 'Mausam'.


Says a source close to the actress: "Too much of the 'Mausam' schedule had already been disturbed because Sonam had to take a break to return to Mumbai to promote IHLS. There was no way she could return for even a day."

Aamir Khan down with fever

It was probably the most spectacular music launch for a B-town movie in recent times, but the excitement seems to have got to actor-producer Aamir Khan who is now down with fever.


"Just got back home after a long day. Down with fever. I guess the excitement of the Peepli Live music launch last evening (Tuesday) got to me. Pill time," Aamir posted on his Twitter page Tuesday night.


Aamir broke into an impromptu gig with the Indian Ocean band at the music launch in Mumbai. He also played the drums with the well-known band that has composed the music for the Anusha Rizvi-directorial debut.

Aamir, SRK or Sanjay? Who will host Bigg Boss 4?

After Amitabh Bachchan announced that he will be hosting the fourth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati? for Sony, the officials of Colors are busy trying to fill his place in the fourth season of Bigg Boss. The buzz in the industry is that their first choice is Aamir Khan, who is yet to host any show on television. However, Aamir has rejected their initial offer. The channel officials have now apparently raised their offer, hoping Aamir will agree.


Meanwhile, they have also made overtures to Shah Rukh Khan. But even if SRK does agree, it will cost Colors heavily, as they will have to remunerate him to break his contract with Star Plus and match his high fee for every episode he hosts.


Colors has also approached Sanjay Dutt, but if rumours are to be believed, Sanjay has refused the offer as he feels the remuneration is not worth the trouble.


Arshad Warsi and Shilpa Shetty have hosted the first two seasons of Bigg Boss respectively.

Aamir turns drummer for Indian Ocean

He took to the stage with the band at the 'Peepli Live' music launch



Aamir Khan broke into an impromptu gig with the Indian Ocean band in Mumbai and took charge of the drums at the star-studded music launch of his forthcoming production 'Peepli Live'.


"Since childhood I wanted to perform on stage with a band and finally I got an opportunity. It's a dream come true thanks to Indian Ocean," said Aamir, after a thumping performance of the song 'Des mera rangrez' from the movie.


The number has been composed by the band, who invited the actor on stage before kicking off the show.


The music launch was attended by big names of Bollywood like Rani Mukerji, Karan Johar, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Ashutosh Gowarikar, Rajkumar Hirani and Sharman Joshi.


At the event, Karan told reporters that he would love to work with Aamir, to which the actor diplomatically replied: "Karan is a wonderful director. If the script is good and suitable for me, I would love to work with him."


Also attending were lyricist Prasoon Joshi, composers Shantanu Moitra and Ram Sampath and singer Sona Mohapatra. Aamir's wife Kiran Rao was also present for the launch.


Directed by debutant Anusha Rizvi and slated to hit screens August 13, 'Peepli Live' is a satire on society. It revolves around two impoverished farmers - Natha (Omkar Das Manikpuri) and Budhia (Raghubir Yadav) - who live in a village called Peepli. They are about to lose their land due to their debts.


Aamir also paid tribute to Asheem Chakravarty of the Indian Ocean band at the music launch. He said that the song 'Zindagi Se Darte' used in the film was the last song he composed.


"He (Asheem) was one of the members of Indian Ocean and unfortunately he passed away. It's a great loss to all the people who are close to him - Indian Ocean, his family and to his fans all across the world...and 'Zindagi Se Darte' was his last song," Aamir said.


"I am sure wherever he is, he will be blessing us and will be happy for us," he added before Indian Ocean took the stage and gave a thumping performance.


Aamir said that he has always been a great fan of the band.


"I have been a fan of Indian Ocean for quite a few years now and when Anusha (Rizvi) told me that she wants to work with Indian Ocean in this film…they are fantastic composers and their mix of folk and western is really amazing and I think both these songs 'Desh Mera' and 'Zindagi Se Darte' are really amazing songs," the actor-producer said.
