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?
