Everyone seeks Aamir

Ever since he made Taare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan is the one person whose approval matters a lot to every director in B-Town.

Soham Shah had a screening of Luck for Aamir, and two nights ago, Vishal Bhardwaj showed him Kaminey. What Aamir thought of their films is, of course, not public knowledge because the actor is very discreet when it comes to discussing other filmmakers’ work. What one hears though is that Vishal and Aamir were locked in conversation for an hour after the screening. Guess that could only mean the actor liked what he saw. Why else would he be wasting his precious time?

Shruti Haasan’s daredevilry

Hindi film heroes often have to do daredevil stunts, it’s practically a requirement. But here’s an instance of a debutant actress with an adventurous streak.

While shooting for Soham Shah’s Luck, a fast-paced action flick, Shruti Haasan was required to stand at the front of a moving train with her hands tied to the sides. In the scorching heat, with her back to the train and the metal burning into her skin, she ended up with blisters and boils. It was so hot that the heels of her boots started melting. But the actress shrugs it off. “It wasn’t the most comfortable situation but it’s the most fun I’ve had in the longest time,” she says.

But she is rueful about one thing: “I also got a tan that’s turned me four shades darker, and I still haven’t got rid of it.” Well, small price to pay, we say.
