Aamir Khan's forthcoming projects

Aamir Khan is going to be active not just as an actor but also as a producer. Gone are the days when Aamir would take it slow in signing new films or taking on film production ventures. We all know that Aamir's 'Lagaan', produced by the actor, went on to get an Oscar nomination. Now, when Aamir has had three big releases in less than a year, the actor is going ahead with a good number of projects in the near future too. Just recently he agreed to the lead role in Mani Ratnam's next film 'Lajjo' in which he will act with Kareena Kapoor for the first time.

Apart from this, Aamir will play the lead role in the Hindi remake of the Tamil hit film 'Ghajini'. The film will be directed by R Murugadoss, who directed the original flick. Aamir will not just act in the film but produce it as well. Another project that has enthused Aamir is a campus love story titled 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'. The film will mark the directorial debut of scriptwriter Abbas Tyrewala. It will introduce Aamir's cousin Imraan in the lead role. Arshad Warsi, Arbaaz Khan, Naseeruddin Shah and his wife Ratna Pathak Shah have been roped in for the project.

Aamir is also said to be planning to produce a film on father-son relationship. It will most likely be directed by painter-turned-director Amole Gupte. With three productions and two acting projects on hand, Aamir Khan is sure a busy man.

‘Ghulam’ combo together?

Is the GHULAM combination of actor Aamir Khan and director Vikram Bhatt collaborating on a new project? There have been whispers that Aamir and Vikram have had several meetings of late and, perhaps, a film is on the cards.

“I wouldn’t deny that we’ve met a couple of times in the recent past,” Vikram confirms the development, “But there’s nothing in the offing yet. We keep discussing movies and scripts, but haven’t zeroed on anything so far. I would love to work with Aamir again. Who wouldn’t?”

Meanwhile, Vikram is almost through with the principal shooting of RED – THE DARK SIDE, starring Aftab Shivdasani, Celina Jaitley and Amrita Arora [playing gray for the first time]. Himesh Reshammiya scores the music of this film.

Aamir Khan's HIGH JUMP to roll this September

According to reports in a trade magazine, Aamir Khan's next film titled HIGH JUMP will be jointly produced with PVR. It is likely to roll in September and will be directed by painter-turned-director Amol Gupte. It may be recalled that Aamir was looking for a naughty child to play the central character of a dyslexic kid. He has short-listed a few kids for the central role and intends to finalize one soon. Reportedly, Aamir will appear in the film around the interval time.

Incidentally his nephew Imran will also be launched under this banner. The film is called JAANE TU YA JAANE NA and is a romantic college caper.

Aamir Served a Legal Notice

Faridoon Shahryar, IndiaGlitz

Superstar Aamir Khan seems to be heading for Press-Conference-Galore days. Why? Well, the Gujarat Forest Department has sent a notice to actor for allegedly violating the Wildlife Act during the making of his film ‘Lagaan’ seven years ago when he had filmed a Chinkara without necessary permission in the Kutch district.

The department sent a notice on Monday to his whole production team for filming the Chinkara without permission. The department has given him a week’s notice to reply to the notice. It defies reason as to why should the forest department had to wake up from wilderness after so many years of the actual incident. ‘Lagaan’ was released five years ago and won laurels for the country internationally. It is very clear that Aamir Khan’s views over Narmada Dam and the subsequent propaganda started by political groups is the basic reason behind this belated action in a non-existent case.

It seems Aamir Khan will have to break his silence sooner or later and come out in open about the fresh set of pressure tactics employed by a few desperate people.

Coke brings trouble to Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan may just be regretting his decision to voice his views on the Narmada valley dam project. It is common knowledge that he did not make any friends by doing this. In fact he lost quite a few friends and maybe a lots of fans too. Most of these people belonged to the state of Gujarat, the state to which his statements pertained directly too. The people antagonized most were the B.J.P. workers of the state whose government was barring no efforts to get the project underway. All this culminated in Aamir’s film Fanaa not getting released in Gujarat. A loss of many crores for the producer.

Just when one thought that all the fuss concerning the issue had died down; it all has come roaring back to haunt Aamir. The recent reports of coke and pepsi still containing pesticides above permissible limits have sent the B.J.P. into overdrive trying to settle scores with Aamir.

As one knows Aamir is the premier brand ambassador of coke in the country. So, the B.J.P has taken the opportunity and started making Aamir its main reference point in all its criticisms of the soft drinks. They have also not refrained from making a few personal remarks about the actor’s moral rights to speak about the Narmada project. According to them, one who endorses such multinationals is not fit to be the voice of the farmers of the country. Though many other leading Bollywood stars are associated with such brands, the B.J.P has chosen to take only Aamir’s name. Going by the viciousness of the comments, they are not likely to end any time soon.

Whether Aamir is regretting his decision to speak out about Narmada or his decision to endorse coke is anybody’s guess.

Aamir shifts in Being Cyrus director’s bungalow

By IndiaFM

Aamir Khan will be having a housewarming party for his new house in Panchgani on Friday. This house is very special to Aamir for reasons more than one. Firstly because he got married to his love lady, Kiron Rao there, last year in December. Secondly his kids, Junaid and Ira are fond of the place.

It is believed that this two-acre property originally belonged to director Homi Adjania’s parents and Aamir bought it last month for Rs 7 crore. Homi Adajania is the same guy who directed the Saif Ali Khan starrer Being Cyrus and incidentally that movie was entirely shot in Panchgani itself in the same house.

Aamir’s close friends, parents and children are expected to be present for the bash that will start on Saturday and go on till Sunday.

Aamir wanted to play Saif's 'Langda Tyagi'!

Though Aamir Khan and director Vishal Bhardwaj could not work together in 'Mr. & Mrs Singh' due to "creative differences" (as per Vishal) , the choosy actor was very much interested in 'Omkara' .

According to the 'Omkara' director, "Aamir wanted to play the role of 'Langda Tyagi', which Saif Ali Khan has played. But you know how it is – there's a lot between wanting to play a role and actually playing it. Aamir was busy with his other projects."

However there is no animosity between Vishal and Aamir as is being speculated. Aamir recently attended the special screening of Omkara where he was seen chatting up with Bharadwaj.
