Amitabh Bachchan and
Aamir Khan met each other recently to discuss their upcoming films and pretty much everything under the sun. Both of them got into an intense discussion over
Paa and
3 Idiots, leaving both highly impressed with each other’s projects. Not only did they wish each all the best, but they also agreed on promoting their films for each other. While Bachchan posted in his blog about his meeting with Aamir, Aamir changed his status on social networking sites to '
Pucca Idiott is waiting for
Paa'. When StarBoxOffice asked Aamir about which other film apart from 3 Idiots he was eagerly waiting for, he replied, "Indeed
Paa. I was amazed when I saw the promos of Mr. Bachchan in
Paa. The concept is very unique, and it will definitely be a film to watch out for, I'm sure."
A source close to the Bachchans adds, "Big B knows that Aamir is a marketing genius. He makes sure that his films are the talk of the town before their release, in turn garnering major crowd turnout. With
Ghajini, he had promotional activities such as people sporting his famed haircut, etc. With
3 Idiots, he is going straight to the youth, considering the film is about youngsters. He's interacting with teenagers and is active on several networking sites. Mr. Bachchan felt Aamir was perfect to spread word about his upcoming film
Paa, which is based on a completely new subject such as Progeria. Aamir is the thinking man's actor, and who better to generate news about Paa than him? Big B too is planning to go all the way in promoting
3 Idiots when it releases in December. For now, one of the two biggest forces in B-town have united."
By this, the source refers to the tiff that Aamir and Bachchan had back in 2007 when Aamir's film
Taare Zameen Par and Bachchan's film
Black had released. Aamir had made a statement about
Black, which made Bachchan upset. However, they have sorted out their differences now. Let's hope their association bears good fruit for their upcoming releases.
