PVR INOX has introduced a particular film festival, ‘Aamir Khan: Cinema Ka Jadugar,’ to celebrate Bollywood famous person Aamir Khan’s contribution to Indian cinema. The festival, to be hosted throughout PVR INOX theatres nationwide, is about to start on March 14, Aamir’s birthday, and can proceed till March 27.
The festival was introduced with a trailer at a press convention in Mumbai., which noticed veteran screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar and PVR founder Ajay Bijli be a part of Aamir for an insightful dialog.
While talking about Aamir, Javed Akhtar stated, “Aamir was born in 1965; I started in Bollywood in 1965. Aamir’s first film was written by me. I was writing the film Faryaaz in Panchgani for Nassir Hussain. He saw Aamir and immediately told Nassir that he was a star and that he should start with a romantic film. My son’s first film was with Aamir.”
Aamir informed Javed that he was ready for his name after saying no to Farhan for a script listening to. When Javed didn’t name, Aamir realised that Farhan will need to have not spoken to him and he should really consider in Aamir.
“Only Aamir could have believed in these characters and stories. Aamir did a film with Ashutosh, with whom he had a flop before. A new director, Farhan, came to you with a three-hero film, and you did it. Who would have done Dangal in their right mind? Role of such an old man who loses to his daughter in kushti. All actors work with directors who have given hits. You take chances no other can.” added Javed.
