Aamir’s request to fans

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,July 31 2010]

Only two weeks left for the release of his production ‘Peepli Live’, Aamir Khan is feeling restless about the whole thing. First of all, the film features no big stars, which makes Mr. Perfectionist all the more nervous. Not that he has doubt about the film’s setting and concept, but looks like Aamir just believes that whatever he’s giving to audience is different from the usual, commercial masala which stands a fair chance.

To put his mind to peace, the actor shared his anxiety on his bolg, “As 13th Aug gets closer, the butterflies in my stomach are really beginning to flutter around. Have lost my appetite and my sleep.

He further wrote that he is really depending on “you guys (audiences) this time round for support.” He stressed saying, “This is an especially tough one with no big stars and a film based in a rural background.”

Aamir then went on to request, writing, For those of you living outside India please tell all your friends, neighbours, collegues, gardners etc, who may not have ever seen an Indian film before, to give this one a try. Assuming you like it of course.

A satire, ‘Peepli Live’ is directed by debutant Anusha Rizvi and features Raghubir Yadav and Omkar Das Manikpuri in lead roles. The film is set in a village called Peepli and it revolves two poverty-stricken farmers.
