Aamir Khan to lose 12 kilos

We already know that he was to have a crew cut for his next film. Now the actor will also shed some weight.

That Aamir Khan gets into the skin of every character he plays, is well known. But doing it in Reema Kagti's film will be a tough task for the actor.

Aamir will sport a crew cut (sans any Ghajini demarcations this time) and will have to lose at least 11-12 kilos for the cop's role he will enact.

A source close to Aamir says, "The actor has to lose around 250 pounds for Kagti's film." The additional weight-loss programme makes you wonder, as Aamir is far from being fat. Says the source, "Yes, Aamir was quite lean during the making of 3 Idiots. But he put on a few kilos very recently. The cop's role in Kagti's film requires him to be leaner than that."

The process of losing weight has already begun. Adds the source, "Aamir has a dietician who has advised him since Ghajini days. As of now, the actor is eating a small meal every two hours."

When contacted, Aamir confirmed the news and said, "I have already lost 4 kilos. I have to lose 6 more. I am watching my diet."

The final step, Aamir feels he has to take, is rest enough. According to him, no matter how hard you train, if you don't rest your body adequately, it doesn't respond well to exercise.

But considering Aamir's six-pack look in Ghajini was a rage once, size zero may well become the mantra for men soon.

I'm doing a film with Aamir: Rani

Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji, who last shared screen space with Aamir Khan in 2005, will be seen opposite him yet again in Reema Katgi's upcoming suspense drama.

"I am doing a film with Aamir. Over the years our chemistry will only get better, so it'll be better in this film," Rani told reporters here.

"For me its wonderful to work with Aamir and specially after so long because the last film I did with him was 'Mangal Pandey: The Rising' and over there also it was not a film based on us. But this one is more about us," she added.

The 32-year-old also revealed that Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan were her favourite actors.

"Shah Rukh and Aamir have always been my favourites and I have learnt a lot from them in my professional pursuits and in my life. It is my great honour that I worked with them in such wonderful films. I can do anything for them," she said.

The actress, who was last seen opposite Shah Rukh in a full fledged role in 2006's " Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna", said she wanted to work with him soon.

"I'm going to meet Shah Rukh and tell him that he better start a film with me soon because I'm missing working with him," she said.

Aamir falls in love again

Yes, you read it right. The perfectionist Khan is in love yet again. Read on to know who the lucky one is...

"I fell in love with K once again," says Aamir talking of the time when wife Kiran Rao narrated the story of 'Dhobi Ghat' to him. Revealing that he was apprehensive of the script, Aamir says that at one point he even wished that Kiran gave up writing it.

"When Kiran told me that she was working on a script, I was most apprehensive. I thought one of these days the script would be complete and I would have to read it. If the script did not work for me then things would get most uncomfortable between us," confesses Aamir.

Aamir further says, "Every time she mentioned she was working on it I prayed that she wouldn't complete it, and in time would abandon it." Finally the actor took his cousin and director Mansoor Khan's help to bail him out. He flew down to Coonoor with Kiran to read the script. "She confronted me with a spiral-bound file and I needed someone to back me when I gave it thumbs down. With that in mind I suggested we travel to Coonoor where Mansoor lives. 'Mansoor and I will hear the script narration together', I told her. I have often used Mansoor as a shield," he quips.

He further informs that his views about the script changed after hearing the narration, "From the first scene itself the script just sucked me in. I was falling in love with the characters, loved the dialogues and the voice of each person, I was struck by the fine, silken threads that made the narrative and was moved to tears by the end," said the actor, proud of wife Kiran for working on such a brilliant script.

"I fell in love with K, once again. Kiran has been an absolute delight to work with. As producer and as an actor, I feel most safe in her hands. She has clarity, sensitivity and ability to bring out the best in her team, which makes her a leader I am happy to follow." He concludes.
