Aamir Khan's innovative ways for Ghajini

Be it 30 secs Tv commercial or a 3 hour long film, when Aamir Khan does it, he does it differently. This superstar is an intelligent marketing personnel when it comes to promoting his films. Just last year we saw how Aamir grabbed everyone's attention with his directorial venture Taare Zameen Par. Yes, the film did star Aamir but it was also his smart marketing plan that managed to get the film, the great opening and rest is history.


Now, for his next film, Ghajini, Aamir has devised a very smart and creative plan to interact with the media. Now, Aamir has been enjoying blogging on his personal website and has been keeping his fans updated on every new development on his film projects. But now, the 'perfectionist' Khan will be creatively using the internet medium to interact with the media persons. According to Aamir, this would be an interesting exercise since it goes with the theme of Ghajini.

More importantly, even though one has over a period of time, one hardly gets to share anything that is even remotely personal. However, Aamir's new website will do exactly that- establish a personal connect between the actor and journalists. Along with the personal note, Aamir will also present an information kit of, Ghajini, to each journalist who registers on the website.

Now one can understood that the idea for this innovative concept comes from Aamir's character in Ghajini, who suffers from a short term memory loss.

Ghajini to be Re-Shot

The hard-to-please superstar of Bollywood is reportedly unhappy with the way his upcoming film Ghajini has shaped up.Aamir Khan is at it again. The movie for which he all but shaved his head has not met his expectations. ‘Ghajini’, directed by A Murugadoss, is complete and the director reportedly held a special screening of the film recently for Aamir.

After watching the movie Aamir wasn’t very thrilled. His scrutinizing eyes singled out scenes which he believed needed to be re-shot. Respecting Aamir’s judgment, Murugadoss has reportedly decided to re-shoot some scenes.The only problem is that Aamir is presently shooting Raju Hirani’s film 3 Idiots in which he has a different hairstyle than that of ‘Ghajini’. So Aamir won’t be able to reshoot for ‘Ghajini’ until he wraps up ‘3 Idiots’, which means at least a month.

Aamir is a star whose opinion is respected by peers in the industry. Recently, directorSanjay Gadhvi showed Aamir his movie Kidnap to get his opinion. Aamir gave thumbs-up to the film.Though some industrywalas think Aamir crosses his line at times and interferes in a director’s work, most of the people who work with him. And after showing his prowess behind the camera in Taare Zameen Par , Aamir has only gained more respect in tinsel town.

Jiah to do stunts in Ghajnii

Female power is in. Deepika Padukone is busy matching Akshay Kumar's kicks and somersaults in Bangkok for Nikhil Advani's Chandni Chowk To China. Nearer home in Hyderabad, Jiah Khan matched stunt strides with Aamir Khan.

Though thankfully, she hasn't had any mishaps yet. Jiah's lithe stunts in Murugadoss' Ghajini are every bit as heart-in-the-mouth as Aamir Khan's. The only reason Jiah's action scenes aren't being talked-about are because she isn't talking about it. "I can't! I'm not allowed to," she quakes with contractual terror. "But yes, I've done a lot of action scenes in Ghajini. They've been extremely unnerving."

The action sequences require Jiah to match Aamir kick for kick. "And they are one reason I had to lose so weight," she admits, having returned from Hyderabad where the Ghajini shooting was wrapped up earlier this week. "The schedules don't suffer because of Aamir's accident at all. We resume in the middle of May as per schedule."

On Tuesday Jiah started shooting in Mumbai for Ken Ghosh's film with Shahid Kapoor. "That's the film I'm not supposed to do," she jokes. "It's so cheap to send compromising messages in someone else's name," Jiah suggests that the sms messages that embarrassed Shahid Kapoor and almost had her out of the project were sent off by someone else in her name.

"I've never sent sms to people in the industry beyond work. I'm so new to all this manipulation scheming and negativity. I'm just so happy to be doing two films like Ghajini and Ken Ghosh's film where I've completely different roles."

Aamir Injured Again.....

Aamir Khan’s Ghajini shoot has been delayed once again as Aamir met with yet another accident. This time he was shooting in Sultan Bazaar in Hyderabad for a fight scene when the accident happened.

Last week Aamir had injured the adductor muscle in his right thigh. Director A R Murgadoss couldn’t stall shooting and looking at Aamir’s fast recovery he decided to commence shooting. Aamir began shooting with the muscle and belts.

Yesterday when Aamir was shooting a fight scene he dived on the villain to bring him down and fell on thermacole which wasn’t strong enough and broke his leg. Thus he is out of action for three weeks now.

But it seems nothing can stop him as an injured Aamir wrote his blog within four hours after the accident. He says “Just when I thought I was recovered I’ve injured myself again. And this time its worse than last time. Unfortunately it’s hurting much more than last time and I am on painkillers which I don’t normally use.”

He blames himself for taking his injury lightly. “This time it’s my left leg and yes this time it is my hamstring. So we’ve had to call off the schedule, with the climax incomplete.” His wife Kiran Rao who was in Mumbai flew to Hyderabad when she came to know about the accident.

Aamir says, “This is the first time that I’ve had two similar injuries within a span of two weeks.” He also had an infection in his eye apart from a bleeding nose earlier. Hope this time he gets a well deserved rest.
