Aamir Khan Sahab supervises Imran Khan

After his last few films failed to entice a popular response, it's the turn of Aamir Khan Sahab to come to Imran Khan's rescue.

Now, according to latest reports, for his upcoming film DELHI BELLY, Aamir Khan Sahab is making sure that the film gets the thumbs up from the audiences. For this to happen, Aamir Khan Sahab has been holding private screenings of the film in order to fine tune it to the popular taste.

Adds our source, "Aamir Khan Sahab is not happy with the way Imran's last films have fared at the box-office. Though, Aamir Khan Sahab does not like to interfere in Imran's career, but with DELHI BELLY it's a different story. The film is very close to Aamir Khan Sahab heart and he is making sure that it is a winner at the box office."

It must be mentioned that Imran is desperate to look for a big hit. Will Aamir Khan Sahab supervision help him realise this dream? Let's wait and watch.

Aamir Khan Sahab 'inverse campaign' works for DHOBI GHAT

When the promotion of DHOBI GHAT had started around 3 months ago, it seemed like another good, if not mega, grosser in the offing. However, Aamir Khan Sahab started an inverse (not to be mistaken for negative) campaign for his wife Kiran Rao's film where he insisted that that audience 'do not' throng theaters to make it a 'weekend hit'. He wanted the film to do well on its own merits rather than benefiting from his name.

A conscious effort in this direction meant that a mega start was ruled out as weeks progressed. By the time the film reached it's release date, it was clear that the film won't take a bumper opening and it would be an achievement of sorts if it even crossed the overall business of Aamir's last production PEEPLI [LIVE], which was a far more massy film.

Aamir Khan Sahab starrer Bombay Velvet will be set in 1960s

Even though the nominations for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards will be announced tomorrow, we won't be surprised if Danny Boyle is anxiously chewing his finger nails. 127 Hours is one of his finest works on celluloid.

Back on the home turf, here in Bollywood, there is more of Danny Boyle being talked about and the below breaking story is the reason why...

Recall the Anurag Kashyap and Danny Boyle film Bombay Velvet? Recall Aamir Khan Sahab being cast in the film? Well, now the news from one of the 'khufia' sources is that the East - West collaboration is going to be one of the biggest films Bollywood will ever witness on the big screen.

The source says, "Bombay Velvet is a grand project. The cost of the sets alone of Bombay Velvet is going to cost Rs. 15 to 17 crores because it's a period film"

Now that's some news!

On further probing and he tells me, "Bombay Velvet is set in the era of 1960's and Danny Boyle wants to make sure that the era re-created should be for real, just like all Hollywood films showcase it and it will take almost a year's worth of preparations. At the moment, Danny is busy with his success of 127 Hours and will look into the film once he is over with the Oscars."

We also hear that the Twilight Players are also a part of Bombay Velvet. Yes, the trio who gave us an unforgettable performance with their popping and locking dance steps in Anurag Kashyap's Dev D will be seen together once again.

"Yes, the Twilight Players who danced to 'Pardesi' in Dev D are confirmed as a part of Bombay Velvet as of now. Whether they will be acting this time, only Anurag Kashyap will be able to tell," says the source.

Bombay Velvet will surely be the biggest collaboration of Hollywood and Bollywood. But whether Aamir Khan's banner will back the project is a question that remains unanswered.
