Aamir Khan Sahab Next Film’s Title Revealed: Zakhmi




Now here’s a little mystery finally solved! After months of wondering what Aamir Khan Sahab next police film will be called, the title has been decided: Zakhmi. It is after Sarfarosh (1999) that Aamir Khan Sahab gets to don the khaki again and looks like he isn’t playing the goody-two-shoes cop this time. Complete with a roguish stubble, Aamir Khan Sahab will take on the bad guys as a Crime Branch officer in Reema Kagti’s film.

Shooting for ‘Zakhmi’, also starring Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor, has already begun. In fact, Aamir Khan Sahab, Rani and Kareena have already started attending workshops as part of their preparation for their roles.

Aamir Khan Sahab, who generally takes things slow, has been on a roll this year. AK has not only signed up for Reema Kagti’s ‘Zakhmi’, but is also playing the bad guy in the Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra starrer, Dhoom 3. If that wasn’t enough, he’s also up for another venture with his 3 Idiots director Rajkumar Hirani!

Sneak Peek Into Aamir Khan Sahab Look In Reema Kagti’s Film



Aamir Khan Sahab might have spent most of his time in civilian clothes as a cop in Sarfarosh, but he’s getting the real thing this time. Check out Aamir Khan Sahab in his khakis for his role as an officer in the Crime Branch in Reema Kagti’s upcoming film.





Unlike his previous role, Aamir Khan Sahab is sporting a stubble and doesn’t look that fit either. In fact, the uniform looks like a tight fit for this Khan!








Aamir Khan Sahab is stuck to his iPad as usual. By the looks of it, Aamir Khan Sahab comes across more like a tough cop who knows how and when to bend the rules.

'Aamir Khan Sahab', 'NOKJ' director Rajkumar Gupta's next two projects





Rajkumar Gupta, the director of AAMIR and NO ONE KILLED JESSICA, is not resting on past laurels. Instead of taking time on his next project, Gupta has decided to make two films, one after the other. The first one is called GHANCHAKKAR and the second, RAPCHIK. GHANCHAKKAR will be his third collaboration with UTV.

What's GHANCHAKKAR all about? "It's a black comedy. This one's completely different from what I've attempted so far," the talented director says. Is the humor on the lines of JAANE BHI DO YAARO? "That's a classic and I shouldn't even think of comparing my film with it. But I would love it if my film also has a similar recall value. The film will be real, yet will have humor woven in the narrative," he adds.

The casting of GHANCHAKKAR is still to be finalized. As for RAPCHIK, the director will move on to that project once he completes the filming of GHANCHAKKAR.

Aamir Khan Sahab impresses Akshay



Akshay Kumar the producer has evolved. This has to do with his keen sense of observation. The actor-producer feels that the best way to sustain as film producer is to make high content and low budget films.

Akshay Kumar is mighty impressed with Aamir Khan Sahab over his recent small budget films that have done well at the box office. Akshay feels that the best combination as a producer is to make films that are high in content and low on the budget front.

Talking about his stint as a producer Akshay says, "High-content, low-budget films are good, but the trouble is that very few succeed. It's an actor's price that escalates the budget. As producers it's tough to do films that get great reviews and at the same time also boast of great collections. It's a rare combination, but if it happens it is a great achievement. Aamir Khan Sahab has made a good name for himself and he can do it, but it's not an easy job for everyone."

Currently, Akshay is looking up to breaking some fresh ground with his upcoming slew of films.

Priyadarshan is set to make film on subject of AIDS with Aamir Khan Sahab



Aamir Khan Sahab will be doing a stark real-time film on AIDS with the prolific Priyadarshan, probably at the end of the year. Priyan who has worked with the other two Khan superstars, Shah Rukh and Salman, met Aamir Khan Sahab who has given his verbal approval for the project.

Priyan's other Hindi project Tezz is now on hold. The large-budget action thriller featuring Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Sunil Shetty, Kangna Ranaut, Tusshar Kapoor and Zayed Khan is waiting for the sun to shine on its fate...quite literally. The makers are waiting for the sun to come out in Scotland where the rest of the film is to be shot.

Explains Priyan, "About 40 percent of the film remains to be shot. I will complete it in one stretch in Scotland. But we cannot shoot it before summer when the sun comes out. I hope to complete and release Tezz by year-end."

Provided Devgn has the dates.

"So for now I'm back in Kerala writing a Malayalam film. It a comedy with my favourite actor Mohanlal called The Arab Camel & Madhavan Nair to be shot in Abu Dhabi," informs Priyan.

The comedy will also be made in Hindi.

Abu Dhabi has a large Malyali population. Says Priyan, "Even the traffic cops and taxi drivers in Abu Dhabi speak Malayalam. I haven't directed a Malayalam film in seven years, so I'm very excited."

For now Priyan has gone back to Kerala and his roots in Malayalam cinema. And is very happy about it.

Says the director, "I haven't gone to Mumbai for three months. I was getting very uncomfortable with what was required of me in Mumbai. Now I'll return only to complete Tezz and to direct the AIDS film with Aamir Khan Sahab."

Aamir Khan Sahab has heard and liked Priyan's idea. Says the director, "I met Aamir Khan Sahab and narrated my idea. He loved it. I now need to complete the script."

The film on AIDS will have no songs, no comedy and no commercial trappings at all. It's likely to be produced by Aamir Khan Sahab.
