Aamir Khan, known for his commitment and meticulous planning, is gearing up for the release of ‘Talaash’. He says that the film has shaped up well and is coming out on schedule.
Written and and directed by Reema Kagti, ‘Talaash’ marks the coming together of Aamir, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar after the 2001 release ‘Dil Chhata Hai’.
"I would like to clarify that `Talaash` is releasing as planned on Nov 30th," Aamir said and added: "Over the last few weeks I have noticed that there have been some attempts to spread rumours about the film. Clearly someone is not very happy with the way it is progressing, and I can assure that that someone is not anyone from our team."
This is Aamir`s first big release after ‘3 Idiots’, which came in 2009, and he has teamed up with Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji in the thriller.
Denying any rift between the filmmakers, he asserted that "Reema, Farhan, Ritesh, and I are very happy with the way Talaash has turned out."
There were reports that the film is being delayed as Aamir is not happy with the final product.
A source close to the actor said, "Everyone knows how meticulous Aamir Khan is as a planner. He wouldn`t let any of his projects not have his attention or his time."

Top 10 Saddest Break-ups in Bollywood: No. 10: Aamir Khan & Reena Datta

People get into relationships and get out of them, but when you’re a resident of B-Town, you cannot escape the close scrutiny and interest of the media and the results are mostly never pretty. Here are some Bollywood break-ups that broke our hearts too:

Aamir married Reena even before his first, and superhit, movie QSQT released. He revealed his marital status only after the release of the movie. They had 2 kids and, for 16 long years, Reena stuck with him through all his alleged link-ups with other women. Apparently, the cracks started appearing long before they actually split and Aamir’s closeness with Kiran Rao, then the asst. director of 'Lagaan', acted as the last straw. According to Reena, Aamir is a closet womaniser. Whatever be the case, Aamir is now happily married to Kiran and even has a son with her. As for Reena, well, she is just another Bollywood ex-wife.

Rajinikanth To Be Seen In Dhoom 3?

Buzz is that Aamir Khan may share the same frame with South superstar Rajinikanth. Yes folks, and not for a South film, but the much-awaited Yash Raj Films production Dhoom 3.
 Aamir was quoted saying, "Rajini sir has a mass following, which is very tough to beat for any of the actors in B-Town. He is extremely popular not just in India but also in other countries. Also his on-screen style and persona is impeccable and hence if Aamir wants to work with the superstar it is well understood. Other stars who've worked with Rajini include A-listers Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. Aamir has always been an ardent admirer of the superstar, and would also like to share screen space with him, as other A-listers have before him."
 Rajinikanth was last seen in the Shah Rukh Khan film RA.One.

Jackie Shroff's son Tiger trains Aamir for 'Dhoom 3'

Yash Raj banner ‘Dhoom 3’ is the next awaited Bollywood movie. It stars Aamir Khan in the lead. In the movie, the perfectionist is playing a gym instructor and guess who is training Aamir for the role. It is none other than Jackie Shroff’s rough and tough son Tiger.
 A source informs, "Since Aamir plays a gym instructor in Dhoom 3, it isn't just a great physique that he needs to work on. Aamir needed a particular kind of physique to look convincing as a physical trainer. He also needed to learn the art and technique of physical training in the gym. This is where Aamir without hesitation sought the help of Tiger."
 Tiger Shroff initially hesitated to train Aamir Khan. He said, "Yes, he was kind enough to invite me for a workout with him. But what could I possibly offer Aamir Sir?"
 Tiger also revealed, "We did some functional and core-related workouts. They were basically exercises that engage and recruit your abdominal muscles."
 ‘Dhoom 3’ is going to be larger than life in context of style, statement, action and romance. It had a massive start with John Abraham and the sleekness of the movie was carried forward by Hrithik Roshan. Now Aamir Khan is set to create a benchmark with ‘Dhoom 3. Katrina Kaif has been roped to play Aamir’s leading lady and the diva will be seen in some daredevil stunts.

Aamir Khan refuses to say sorry to doctors

Doctors demand apology from Aamir Khan for defaming the medical profession through his popular TV show Satyamev Jayate but the actors refused to apologize and said that he is agree to face any legal action.
 "I am very comfortable if they (IMA) plan to take legal action if they feel that I have done something wrong. Of course, the courts are available for them. My answer is no, I will not be apologising,"
 The actor said that he has not defamed the doctors but only showed the wrong side of the medical profession.
 "I deny that I have done that. I have the highest respect and regard for the medical profession," he said.
 Aamir said that he has received two kids of responses from doctors all over India after the episode was aired. Some group of doctors supported him and while some opposed the episode and demands apology from the actor.
 "I have received letters from various doctors saying that they are so happy when they saw the show that finally someone is talking about this because this is something they were upset about and did not know how to deal with," he said.
 "They have actually thanked and congratulated me for having done what I did," he said.
 Aamir said that doctor K K Talwar, head of the Medical council of India (MCI), who was on the show, had written a letter to him which was very encouraging.
 "I can imagine it would not have been easy for Dr Talwar to face the tough questions that I had for him on the show that day but he faced those questions and wrote the letter after the show was televised saying that he really liked it," the actor said.

Rakhi Sawant accuses Aamir of stealing her concept

It may sound as a big joke but it is true that item girl Rakhi Sawant accused Aamir Khan of stealing the concept of ‘Satyamev Jayate’, which according was her concept.
 Rakhi is of the opinion that her talk show titled ‘Rakhi Ka Insaaf’ is the original concept and ‘Satyamev Jayate’ has been inspired from her show which brings core social issues to the forefront. Rakhi said, “The show is a complete copy of Rakhi Ka Insaaf. They (Aamir Khan’s production company) have stolen our concept. The format of my show was similar.”
 Rakhi said that during the show ‘Rakhi Ka Insaf’ she was so disturbed with the social problems that she had to be hospitalized.
 “There was a point when I was so disturbed after meeting the various people who came on the show with their problems, that I had to be hospitalised, since I was suffering from depression. My show was shifted to a late night slot because of its mature content, but it still registered good TRPs. On the other hand, just because Satyamev Jayate has Aamir Khan, the show is being aired in the morning slot and people are talking about it,” Rakhi said.
 However, Rakhi maintains that she has great regards for Aamir.
 She said, “I have nothing against Aamir. He is a great guy and I am indebted to him for life. He stood up for me at a time when there was nothing good going for me. In fact, he should be made PM of the country. Seriously, he is genuine and does intelligent work. My only issue is that if Aamir Khan decides to do a show like this, it is termed social work, but if Rakhi Sawant anchors a similar show it is termed as business and a means to garner TRPs.”
 Rakhi said that her claim is true and she is not afraid of anyone.
 “Rakhi sabko buri lagti hai kyunki main hamesha sach bolti hoon. But I am not afraid of anyone, because at the end of the day, truth finally comes out,” Rakhi said.

Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif to have fist-to-fist clash in ‘Dhoom 3′

What we already know is the fact that both Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif are undergoing strenuous training for their fight sequences in the forthcoming ‘Dhoom 3’ where Aamir Khan is playing super villain and Kats is on the good side.
 What we have come to know lately is that petite Katrina will be matching some very breathtaking fight sequences with our perfectionist Aamir Khan. As such Yash Raj Films’ ‘Dhoom 3’ will be having serious fist-to-fist clashes with perfectionist Khan in the flick.
 The sequences are very precious to the film and will be shot aesthetically with the able support of the latest in technology. In fact, Aamir wants this action sequence to be so well synchronised that he has expressed his willingness to train with Katrina to perfect each other’s moves. However, since he is busy these days with the promotion of his forthcoming TV show ‘Satyamev Jayate’, he will start the training schedule only after his show goes on air.
 It would be a real visual treat to see the two actors matching their powers against each other!!

DHOOM:3 starts shooting in May 2012

A leading morning broadsheet recently published that Aamir Khan's DHOOM: 3 got postponed as the actor is busy with some other commitments, but Yash Raj Films firmly stated the report as baseless.
YRF declared to the media that their much hyped action saga DHOOM:3 will be commencing its shoot in May 2012.

The real reason why ‘Talaash’ has been postponed!

We are all aware that Aamir Khan’s film Talaash has been postponed and will now hit theaters in November, this year. We will tell you why the film has been postponed.
 Rumors were that since Aamir is busy with his upcoming television show, the film has been postponed. But the actual reason is something else.
 It is heard that ‘Talaash’s’ storyline is very similar to that of Vidya Balan’s recently released hit flick ‘Kahaani’. Directed by Reema Kagti, Talaash is a story of a cop, who is in search of a person gone missing. Well, ‘Kahaani’ is also on similar lines.
 It is also heard that the climax of Kahaani and Talaash is almost the same. So now, Aamir has decided to reshoot the climax.
 Well, now you know the reason.
