Aamir Khan has confessed that he has a substantial role in his wife Kiran Rao’s first movie as a director. Dhobi Ghaat has been made in guerrilla fashion to keep costs low. “The reason we kept this under wraps is that she didn’t want to attract much attention to her film,” explains Aamir, “She wanted to make this film on real locations with a tiny crew, very guerrilla style. So we had to do it very quietly. And for once we managed to keep a secret from the media, at least until we finished the shoot.”
Aamir has also confirmed that the principal photography for 3 Idiots has now finished with just an item number left to be shot. “The principal photography on 3 Idiots is complete,” he says, “We have one song left which Raju wants to shoot in September. Yesterday, he began work on the postproduction. Good god, I’m getting butterflies in my stomach already.”
Meanwhile, nephew Imran Khan has confessed that he isn’t charging his uncle for his work on Delhi Belly, produced by Aamir Khan Productions, which also stars Poorna Jagannathan and Shenaz Treasurywalla. “I haven’t taken money for Delhi Belly,” he states, “How can I take money from Aamir after all that he has done for me? He did far more for me and Jaane Tu than any other producer could.”
