Aamir gets another head-line

There is lot of curiosity about when Aamir Khan is going to shave off his hair for Ghajini. Initially, there were reports that the actor would go bald on his birthday on March 14. However, even after confirming the news that he'd be shaving his hair on a particular date, Aamir didn't go bald on the assigned day.

According to sources, his hair stylist Avan Contractor and Ghajini's director A R Murgadoss couldn't finalise the actor's exact look in Ghajini. And so the great shave was stalled.

Our source from Ghajini's production house says, “There have been a lot of speculation about when Aamir would shave his hair. He will be sporting the bald look in some of the most vital scenes in the film. Being a perfectionist, he didn't want to wear a wig in those scenes.

He is known to change his looks based on his characters in Mangal Pandey, Dil Chahta Hai and Rang De Basanti. However, deciding to go completely bald was a particularly difficult decision for the actor. After much thought, he finally decided that he'd shave off his hair on his birthday. But he backed off due to a certain reason.”

It is learnt that an integral part of Aamir's bald look is a prominent scar, which is very relevant to the film's script.
“On March 14 evening, the actor, Avan and Murgadoss just couldn't decide how the scar would look. As the scar had to look exactly the same in all the scenes, they didn't want to take any chances as any discrepancy would hamper the film's continuity.

The scar also has a certain design that the three have decided on. Now, it has been decided that Aamir will shave off his hair next week,” adds the source. The film also stars Asin and Jiah Khan.
