Aamir Khan could also be currently in Chicago shooting for Dhoom 3. However, he's ready to make his presence felt in Brazil. Fanaa, which had arrived greater than half a decade ago, is seeing a theatrical release within the country. What's surprising is this is one development which has caught even those related to the film by surprise.
"What is the entire more important is that the film is neither seeing a festival release neither is participating as part of any delegation. It's being given a mainstream release. The film has already released over the weekend passed by and given the selection of theaters and shows which were planned for it, seems like it might be enjoying a protracted stay", informs our source.
This can also be evidenced from the truth that the film has arrived nationwide across various states like Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Bahia, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Pernambuco and Maranhao Federal District. This makes it an important arrival not only for Aamir but any Bollywood film within the country, given the truth that Fanaa release is being checked out as flagship collaboration between Brazil and India.
When contacted, Kunal Kohli, the film's director, was surprised on the developments. Completely unaware about his biggest commercial success till date finding any such reception in remote Brazil, he could barely conceal his excitement.
"IT'S news to me and honestly quite fascinating as well", he said, "It is quite humbling to look a movie of mine travelling internationally and that too after six years. Greater than anything else, this can be a good piece of stories for Indian cinema. I'M HOPING the film makes an impact there and opens further doors for the industry."
One wonders how Aamir would react to the scoop while he enjoys his bike stunts in Chicago.
