Aamir keen to market his movies in Europe

Aamir Khan's frequent visits to Europe had put everyone under the impression that he was on an extended holiday. But the truth is, Aamir is neck deep in work. He is busy with his home production Peepli Live and doesn't want to leave anything to chance.

Peepli Live, directed by Anusha Rizvi, is the fourth film being produced by Aamir - Lagaan, Taare Zameen Par and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na were the other three - and he has been meeting the heads of various production and distribution houses.

The actor is keen to set up a new distribution pipeline that could be used for his future films as well. While there is already a huge audience abroad for Hindi films, there is a sizeable segment that loves watching world cinema. These films are specially distributed and watched in specific art-house theatres that don't generally release Hindi films. When Aamir realised this, he travelled across Europe to check out the market there for his films. A source says: "During his first visit, Aamir received a very encouraging response. That's when he decided to explore the market further." Peepli Live, which is Anusha's debut directorial venture, is a satire on the farmers' suicides and the subsequent media and political response. Well, here is hoping Aamir shines in Europe as well.

Two newcomers open Bollywood innings this Friday

Jackky Bhagnani and Vaishali Desai come from families with film background. Though both admit that their lineage helped in getting the Bollywood break, they know that with their first film up for release it’s the audiences who will eventually size them up.

The long lull at theatres is going to end this Friday with Kal Kissne Dekha , a romantic film with doses of action, drama and suspense. The film is seen primarily as the launch of Jackky, the son of film’s producer Vashu Bhagnani , and Vaishali, the grandniece of the late filmmaker Manmohan Desai .

Since years, both Jackky and Vaishali have been separately steering towards realizing their Bollywood dream. When Jackky was a teenager, none could have thought that a chubby boy weighing 130kg would one day be the hero of a film. But Jackky defied all odds and burnt his fat in gymnasiums to whittle away a good 60 kg. Being a producer’s son can get you a break, but it doesn’t take away fat from one’s body.



Vaishali, on the other hand, has always been the gorgeous girl she is. She began modeling at the age of 16 and participated in Miss India contest in the year 2005. Not only did she win an award for the best smile but also qualified for Miss International contest, which she sadly couldn’t win because of an ill-timed eye infection.

Though she doesn’t claim to have many memories of her illustrious grand uncle (Manmohan Desai) she admits to being a fan of his films.

As ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’ is ready to release, both Jackky and Vaishali are feeling “nervous and excited”. Vaishali, who’s fiercely ambitious, has already been getting compliments from director Vivek Sharma, who called her a “one-take actor”. Jackky, on the other hand, has good wishes of many folks in the industry – from Sanjay Dutt to Kareena Kapoor .

Now, it’s up to the audiences to judge how much talent and potential the two newbies have got.

Hrithik Roshan resembles Jesus Christ

Hrithik’s looks have stunned Latin American distributors, who have seen the rushes of his upcoming flick Kites ‘coz they believe he resembles Jesus Christ.

After having a dekko at Hrithik’s perfect features in Kites, most distributors believe that he is the perfect person to play the role of Jesus Christ.

Hrithik’s father Rakesh says, “A lot of people did mention that Hrithik’s looks are suited for the western market. But I didn’t catch the comment on him bearing a resemblance to Christ. It was not possible for me to keep track of everything said and heard.’’

So do you think apna Hrithik resembles Jesus Christ.
