Who is Aamir Khan's romance mentor?

Aamir Khan has always respected Shammi Kapoor. In fact, the actor admits to watching all of Shammi Kapoor's films when he was debuting as a romantic hero as no one could beat Shammi Kapoor in the romance aspect.

And since the legendary actor has also launched the music of Aamir's films, Taare Zameen Par and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Aamir shares a special closeness with him. That's why at the special show that Aamir did for the Cine Artiste Association, he requested Shammi Kapoor appears with him on a special segment on romance.

Since Shammi was unwell, Aamir organized the shoot at the veteran actor's residence.

According to sources, Shammi has always been close to Aamir's uncle Nasir Hussain. That's how long back Aamir goes with Shammi. When the organizers asked Shammi to do the show, he refused for health reasons. However, Aamir convinced him into doing it.

Peepli Live: Aamir's next film is for adults only!

The next Aamir Khan film 'Peepli Live' starring Raghuvir Yadav, is for adults only. We hear the perfectionist star was given the option of making a few cuts and getting a 'U' rating for the film but Aamir was cool with the 'adults only' tag and refused any and all cuts. The movie, sadly, doesn’t star Aamir and has Raghuvir Yadav, playing a distraught farmer who announces his suicide in advance. Nawaz, a reporter who hears about the case wants to break the news. The news catches the attention of politicians and news channels who want to get mileage out of the situation. After deliberation, farmer decides not to kill himself but Nawaz ends up killing himself. Since the film is set in a village, it has ample rustic vernacular that at times borders on fowl language. The Censor Board obviously wasn’t pleased with the dialogues and gave Aamir the option of deleting these scenes to get a ‘U’ (Universal Viewing) certificate. According to a source, the film is the official entry to the Sundance Film Festival, and Aamir didn't want the Censor Board to tamper with the material. "Peepli Live has made an entry in the World Cinema Narrative category. It's the first Indian film to go to the festival, and making cuts for the Indian audience wouldn't have been fair, " he adds.
