Three Idiots

He doesn't have to travel so he gets enough time to play and sleep. Bollywood perfectionist Aamir Khan says he is having the time of his life while shooting for Rajkumar Hirani's "Three Idiots" at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) campus here.

“I am having a great time shooting at IIM Bangalore (IIMB). Since, I am staying on the campus, I save on travel time and as a result I am finally getting to sleep. I can't tell how happy I am,” Aamir posted on his blog www.aamirkhan.com/blog Friday.

“Raju is an absolute delight to work with and so are the rest of the cast and crew. I'm really enjoying playing badminton, tennis and chess with the students here,” he added.

Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the film is based on Chetan Bhegat's bestseller “Five Point Someone” and also stars Sharman Joshi and R. Madhavan in the lead apart from Aamir.

Posting for the first time after the release of his worldwide grosser “Ghajini” that raked in around Rs.2 billion worldwide, the star also thanked his fans for their support.




“I am so happy that the film has gone down so well with audiences. I am thrilled with the big opening that the film got and the kind of history it created at the box office. I am touched and deeply moved by the faith you have shown in me. Thank you,” he wrote.

The actor is also catching up on the times of yore as he is reading Ramchandra Guha's “India After Gandhi”.

Aamir Khan cautions people against forces dividing India

Bollywood star Aamir Khan Monday cautioned people to stay away from the political leaders who try to divide the country on the basis of religion, caste or community.

Responding to a query on the recent controversy between Raj Thackeray and Jaya Bachchan, Aamir said: "People should stay away from politicians and leaders who try to divide the masses on the basis of religion, caste or community."

"It is harmful to the country and does no good to anyone. Any leader who tries to divide people on that line does that for his own personal gain and people should understand his intentions and stay away from him."

"People should not vote them to power as that will be harmful for everyone," the actor-turned-director said without naming any politician.

Aamir was addressing a press conference, for the promotion for his film "Taare Zameen Par" that has been selected as the Indian official entry to the Oscars.

"India (has) several languages and people should respect each one of them. One should respect the local language as it is also an integral part of any culture," he said.

Aamir Khan Eyes Oscars Again

Aamir Khan eyes Oscars again as his directorial debut Taare Zameen Par will be India’s official entry for 81st Oscar Annual Academy Awards for the Best Foreign Film.

Film Federation of India (FFI) head Suneel Darshan confirmed the news of Taare Zameen Par being chosen as India’s entry for Oscars over eight other contenders namely - Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodhaa Akbar, Farhan Akhtar’s Rock On, Subhash Ghai’s Black and White, Nishikant Kamat’s Mumbai Meri Jaan, Neeraj Pandey’s A Wednesday, Telugu film Ghanyam, Marathi films Tingya and Valu.

The theme and plot of Taare Zameen Par is likely to impress the jury of the Oscars for being a very universal theme yet being so Indian. What is more impressive is the handling of such a sensitive subject by Aamir Khan, who was just making his directorial debut.

We really hope this movie brings an Oscar home… In that case, Aamir Khan will officially become the crowned Badshaah of Bollywood with all the International recognition.

We wish Aamir all the Best!
