Is Aamir Khan-Kiran Rao marriage on the rocks?

Rumour has it that all is not well between actor Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao.

It has been a little over a year since Aamir tied the knot with Kiran after divorce from his first wife Reena with whom he has two kids: Ira and Junaid.

For months after their marriage, Aamir and Kiran were often spotted at social dos. But for the last few months they have been hardly seen together. Aamir, who is busy with his next production Taare Zameen Pe , seems to have little time for Kiran nowadays.

In fact, there are reports that quote Aamir’s neighbours as saying that they haven’t seen the couple together since long time.

And the rumours of the split got further fuel recently when Aamir was spotted having dinner with his ex-wife Reena and two kids. They were sharing jokes and having good time like a happy family.

On the other hand, people close to Kiran deny that there is any trouble in Aamir’s marriage with Kiran. They say the actor has been very busy of late and once he is through with this hectic phase things will again fall in place for Aamir and Kiran.

Aamir Khan rues shortage of children's films

Bollywood star Aamir Khan rues the fact that Hindi film industry does not make many movies for children.

Aamir’s next movie Taare Zameen Pe is a children’s film. Aamir plays the teacher of a dyslexic child in it. According to Aamir, it is a story that will not just entertain children but also touch the hearts of adults.

Aamir says it was the story idea of ‘Taare Zameen Pe’ that fascinated him first. He immediately knew he had to make this movie and act in it as well. Then began the tough task of finding the right child artiste for the movie. The search ended at young kid Darsheel Safari.

In Aamir’s words, the film industry tends to ignore children viewers, despite the fact that every family has kids.

“Films meant for kids should be made on a regular basis. Every home has a child, so invariably they too happen to be an important audience for us and we can make so many films for them,” Aamir is quoted as saying in an interview.

‘Taare Zameen Pe’ is directed by Amol Gupte and has music by Shankar Ehsaan and Loy. A part of the movie has been shot near the New Era High School in Panchgani.

The film’s shooting is over and it will hit the theatres later this year. It will be Aamir’s only release in 2007.

Aamir talk on Rang De Basanti going to Oscars

This is UTV's 1st entry to the Oscars, how do you feel and what are your expectations on Rang De Basanti winning the award?
Ronnie Scewvala: Firstly this has been an outstanding year for the Indian film fraternity. Loads of movies with diverse topics have been made and graciously accepted by the audiences. The box office has also embraced these versatile movies. Being selected for the Oscars is only like climbing the 1st ladder of success. Rang De Basanti is a movie that has touched upon people’s life. Its success with the audiences itself is a big achievement for us; If it wins the award it would be like an icing on the cake.

In India when Rang De Basanti was released it was shown in lots of universities and colleges. Would the same step be taken abroad?
Ronnie Scewvala: We have already held numerous shows abroad in various universities with about 7000 students and more. Students there have instantly bonded with the movie theme because in many ways the issue is universal and they feel the same disillusions. A.R Rehman has performed number of concerts across the east coast of US promoting Rang De Basanti. Not only has this but A.R. Rehman had also co-played the tracks of RDB with western musicians and created fabulous remixes.

This will be your 2nd time at the Oscars. Do you think this is an added advantage for Rang De Basanti. You are now a known figure in the foreign film category so people will be eager to know more about this movie.
Aamir: Our main aim would be promoting this movie as effectively as possible. If it being my second visit to the Oscars generates curiosity in people its ultimately good and beneficial for the movie. I would definitely use all contacts I have and advise the director and producer at all times.

What does your gut instinct tell you, will Rang De Basanti make it?
Aamir: my gut instinct tells me Rang De Basanti will make India's dream come true.

Lagaan chinkara shots trouble Aamir

Bollywood star Aamir Khan may have to revisit the border district of Kutch in Gujarat, this time not for shooting but to answer the state forest department in connection with the 'illegal' filming of a chinkara deer in the film 'Lagaan'.

Aamir allegedly used a chinkara for shooting the movie in 2000 in Jam Kunaria village in Kutch, 375 km from here.

According to a forest department official, Khan and Reena, the executive producer of 'Lagaan' and the actor's former wife replied to the notice issued last month and in return posed questions on issuance of the same.

'In their reply they inquired on what basis the notice had been issued to them. The film star is communicating through his advocate, but he will have to come here personally to get his statement recorded,' the Conservator of Forest of Kutch Circle, R.L. Meena, told IANS.

'After getting reply of our earlier notice, we have issued another notice to the executive producer to make clarification on specific issues,' he added.

In the second notice issued to the film producer this week, the forest department posed queries regarding the shooting of chinkara, a protected species, without permission, the place where it was shot and how come the animal was shown unconscious.

'If the animal was actually unconscious, they will have to explain how it became so. This is very serious,' said Meena.

Since the case is grave, the department 'won't act in a hurry and is careful before going further', he added.

The forest officials are planning to file a case against the filmstar along with Reena and his present wife Kiran Rao for violating the law by capturing footage of the animal without permission. Reena was the executive producer and Kiran Rao was the assistant director of the film.

According to a forest official, Aamir had asked for permission to shoot the animal, but the request was turned down. Still, when the film was exhibited, there was a shot of a chinkara.

The forest department had earlier reportedly carried some preliminary investigation and the matter was closed.

But the case reopened when an environment group, Gir Youth Nature Club, registered a complained in July this year, just after the state criminal investigation department was asked to re-investigate poaching charges levelled against another Bollywood star Salman Khan, eight years ago during the shooting of the film 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'.
