What’s common between Aamir Khan and Imran Khan besides their chacha-bhateeja bonding?
Both of them have big films this year and are even romancing heroines from the same age group. While Imran’s Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na with Genelia has been declared a hit, uncle Aamir Khan is preparing for his next big release, Ghajini, with Asin. Which just goes on to show that while Bollywood may have come of age, but the stars haven’t aged.
Earlier, as stars grew older, they made way for the younger generation and resigned themselves to doing character roles or those more suited to their age. That’s no longer the case in Bollywood — we have papas and betas, chachas and bhateejas and even baaps and betis, all in the fray at the same time.
Aamir Khan and Imran Khan
Imran has already wowed the crowd with his debut film, but audiences will get to see more action from his side with Kidnap (with Sanjay Dutt) and Luck, set to go on the floors this year.
It’s been reported that Aamir Khan’s Ghajini, starring Asin and Jiah Khan, which was set to release on October 2, has been delayed because uncle Aamir wanted to give Imran an open field for his second release Kidnap, also slated for the same day.
Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor
After her debut in Sawaariya, Sonam Kapoor is all set to light up the screen with Dilli 6, directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, starring Abhishek Bachchan, Om Puri, Atul Kulkarni and Divya Dutta.
After Race and Tashan, dad Anil Kapoor is ready to impress with four big films — Main Yuvraaj, Yahan Ke Hum Sikandar, Slumdog Millionaire and Chandralekha — all set for release later this year.
Kamal Haasan and Shruti Haasan
Shruti Haasan, until now known for her star lineage and rock performances, will make her debut with Imran Khan in Luck, directed by Soham Shah. The movie is supposed to feature Sanjay Dutt, Danny Denzongpa, Mithun Chakraborthy and Rati Agnihotri.
Kamal Haasan’s much-delayed and much-hyped movie, Dasavathaaram, didn’t quite work wonders at the BO. His fans have a long wait ahead before seeing him back in action.

Daddy’s girl out to prove herself
EVEN as he is busy with the release of his Tamil film Dasavatharam, Kamal Haasan has started work on his next project Marmayogi that is set in the seventh century.
To be made in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Malayalam, his fourth directorial film is being produced by Walt Disney Productions in collaboration with Bharatbala Productions and Adlabs. Also starring Hema Malini, it has music by AR Rahman.
Meanwhile, the numero uno actor will be seen in 10 diverse roles in Dasavatharam that is set for release in April. Asin and Mallika Sherawat are the female leads, with music by Himesh Reshammiya.
What was amazing to see was that despite being tied up with work, the superstar made a fleeting visit to Mumbai recently to be with his elder daughter.
Shruti Haasan performed at Mumbai’s Hard Rock Cafe during the launch of Rolling Stone magazine, where she belted out her own compositions.
She is also making her acting debut in a Tamil film, being directed by Nishikant Kamat and starring Madhavan. That's one proud father all out to support his daughter in her attempt to prove her talent.

Kamal on a new note!
Southie biggie Kamal Haasan is a happy man these days.
His failed second marriage, to Bollywood actress Sarika, is put behind him. And what he has to look forward to now is his 100 crore project Marmayogi, plus their pretty musician daughter Shruti’s debut in movies, which Kamal as a nervous father is anxiously looking forward to.
"Marmayogi will be shot in Hindi as well," Kamal says. "But I’m doing things at my own pace. I’m one of the few filmmakers in Chennai who takes every Sunday off." That’s all he will talk about his work. Shruti is a more interesting topic. Back from LA where she was studying music, Shruti is staying with Kamal currently. "She consulted me before taking the decision to join films. Naturally, I was nervous. But I’m happy now. Had she chosen to be a nuclear scientist, I would have been clueless whether she would succeed or not, but this profession I know and understand," he says.
Kamal has faith in Shruti. He has advice for her but prefers if she discovers the exciting world of films herself. What would really excite him is a project with Shruti. "Of course, it would be interesting to work with my daughter. But it has to be an apt script. A great father-daughter story would be a perfect casting for us," he says, hoping somebody will come up with such a script.
That apart, the great actor is now into God bashing and publicly denouncing the futility of faith. "I don’t follow any religion. A lot of differences have happened between God and me," admits the actor. Like his personal setbacks? "All your decisions come from respect and disrespect of certain things that have affected you. But notwithstanding my personal life, I have enough factors around me to support my decision. I am deeply hurt by what is happening around in the name of religion. I personally feel, whenever there is a crisis, God becomes a mere witness. I am happy with my decision," he explains. And when imbalances upset his life? "So far, I’ve been able to survive without that connection, and I will be lucky to cross the hurdles without any divine intervention," he smiles. "It’s like getting a fit body after you give up certain things."
