I'VE finally found a script to direct: Aamir Khan

By Hindustan Times

Actor Aamir Khan who donned the director’s hat with Taare Zameen Par in 2007 is ready to direct again. On a trip to HT house on Tuesday, the filmmaker said that he has locked the script for his next directorial venture.

“There is Dhoom 3 that is coming up, which I’m hoping might be liked by kids. But so far as directing a kids movie is concerned, there's a script that I’ve found a couple of 13-year-old brother and 10-year-old sister,” he said, adding, “I’ve bought the rights (of the script) and I’m going to direct it. But I don’t know when because I’m very busy as an actor, as of now.”

The actor, whose film Talaash releases on Friday, says that he picked the film because he found it intriguing. “I loved the script. It has an ideal emotional aspect and isn't only a suspense drama. It deals with coming to terms with the lack of a loved one,” he said. While the actor calls both his co-stars within the film Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor fantastic, he's particularly flattered by Rani’s recent remark that while shooting Ghulam with him, she never looked into his eyes as she feared falling in love with him. “Pehle kyun nahi bataya? ab to film poori ho gayi..chance miss ho gaya..ab ek aur film karni padegi,” he laughed, adding, “It’s good to fall in love. I BELIEVE Rani has absolutely mesmerizing eyes. She is considered one of my closest friends within the industry for a few years now.”

Given that Aamir has always used novel how one can promote his films, (this time around he promoted the film mostly at night), we asked how important is it to advertise a movie well. “All films need promotions. For me promoting a movie is an overly integral means of filmmaking. You can't separate it from the method. Each film is exclusive and needs to be treated differently. ”

And he's also hoping that his son with Kiran Rao, Azad, who turns one soon, will bring luck for the film. “The film releases across the time of his birthday. We're having a family social gathering for the occasion, I AM HOPING he brings luck to the film,” he said.
