It’s payback time for Aamir

Aamir Khan’s a busy guy these days. And it’s not only the around-the-clock shooting of his ambitious project Ghajini that’s keeping him on his toes.

The superstar’s been working equally hard on his production Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na , which marks the debut of his nephew Imran Khan. However, recently when it came to giving priority to one of the films, the actor without any hesitation chose his nephew’s launch vehicle over his own film.





The actor’s just shot Imran in a special promo for Jaane... in conjunction with Abbas Tyrewala who makes his directorial debut with this film. The concept promo, which is comic in style, was Aamir’s brainchild and has been shot over 10 days. Being the perfectionist that Aamir is, the actor personally supervised all aspects of this shooting.

This meant putting his own Ghajini on a backburner, as the shooting for Ghajini had to be stalled and schedules reworked. But a source reveals that for Aamir the decision was easy to make. “When he was launched in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak , Nasir Hussain had left no stone unturned and made sure that Aamir gets the perfect launch. This is Aamir’s way of thanking him by ensuring that Nasirsaab’s grandson Imran gets the perfect launch as well. Imran’s debut means a lot to him personally. Also, professionally Aamir is extremely confident about Imran’s acting talent,” the source said.

Surprisngly, while Imran’s one of the most closely-guarded newcomers, buzz on the actor’s acting capabilities have already been doing rounds. No wonder, the actor’s already been approached by several leading filmmakers including Rakeysh OmPrakash Mehra. Both Imran and Mehra were keen to work together on Dilli 6 , however, due to date problems, the deal could not be worked out. The actor will also be seen in Dhoom director Sanjay Gadhvi’s next action film Kidnap .
