Asin has been showering praise on Aamir Khan ever since she worked with the superstar in her first Bollywood fil Ghajini. The film has been among the most successful Indian film in recent decades and was the biggest grosser at the box office.Aamir is a perfectionist from the very beginning and has given preference to quality over quantity. For several years he did only one film a year to maintain quality. His only release in 1996 was the Dharmesh Darshan directed commercial blockbuster Raja Hindustani in which he was paired opposite Karisma Kapoor. He maintained this policy for next several years.
The way he worked hard to attain the sort of eight pack body he has shown his commitment to his work. Aamir proved himself yet again with his chiseled physique for the character of a psycho killer. But even after his amazing body being the unique selling point (USP) of the film, the one thing that gripped me to the promos was the deadly expression in his eyes.
His trademark and something that only he in the entire Indian film industry possesses-is perfection, be it acting or his body.
Before the launch of the film he himself explained as to how he worked on his film: “All the 2 years of planning, preparation, creative discussions, the struggle to shoot the film and the sleepless nights of post production ultimately culminate in a 3 hour experience in the darkness of a cinema hall…This time around it is a remake of a Tamil film so I am especially anxious.
Ghajini was a huge success in the South and Surya had done an excellent job in the original. I hope that I have been able to do justice to the film. Am especially awaiting Surya’s response as he was the one who went out of his way to convince me that I suit the role”.
Am guilty of not being able to read the responses for my last post this time around, as I have been just too busy. In fact the last couple weeks have been too hectic and as a result of the exhaustion and excitement I’m down with fever so am lying in bed as I write this.
While the film releases on the 25th all over I believe in some Cinemas it actually opens for Paid Previews on the evening of 24th. So I will be eagerly awaiting your response 24th evening onwards. Wont miss a single post.
He goes on to say, “Just before any of my films release I go into pendulum mode. One sec I feel very optimistic about the film and the next I’m sure no one’s going to like it. I lose my smile my appetite, my sleep. On the whole I am listless and walk around like a zombie. VVC (Vidhu Vinod Chopra), who was talking to me yesterday, accurately described it as Prenatal Depression. The film is about to be delivered and will be out of our systems so to speak. Then it will have a life of its own which we have absolutely no control over”.
Whoever works with Aamir admires him. The same happened with Asin. She says about Aamir, "I think he is cool, he is genuine and he is simple. This is what I admire a lot about him."
Asin further says, “I am very fortunate that I have begun my Bollywood journey with an actor like Aamir”.
