Aamir Khan's Blog

Jul,30,2010

Back in my hotel room after a hard day full of interviews. This is a really mad trip. Two days in each city with back to back interviews.

Managed to steal time to meet a really close friend in New Jersey. Always feels really nice when I meet him.

I’m flying to Dubai next, then Mumbai, then to Melbourne where Peepli Live is being screened at the Melbourne Film Festival on the 6th of Aug.

As 13th Aug gets closer the butterflies in my stomach are really beginning to flutter around. Have lost my appetite and my sleep.

I’m really depending on you guys this time round for support. This is an especially tough one with no big stars and a film based in a rural background. 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.

Am planning a live chat on fb. Will keep y’all posted on date and time.

Love.

a.

dear aamir
i m from arunachal pradesh.i m a great fan of your work.most of
the people here watch chinese martial arts movies more than
bollywood movies.but they really like your movies especially
lagaan n ghajini.

i recently saw your 1988 film,raakh.i loved it.pleasewrite
something in your blog about raakh because it is a forgotten film
n more people deserve to know about such a good film.

Dear Aamir Khan,

please don`t be unreasonable!
Live chat with you is great, of course, but nothing is as
important as health.
Don`t chose a date now, first become well. Ok?

If it was the stress of the last weeks, that makes you sick,
please don`t ignore these signals!

Send you much love and strenght,
your`s Susi.

Hey there, dear Blog Host! :-)

You know, it's so sweet and endearing to see you so anxious for
the success of your film. Even though I'm completely and utterly
sure that it's unnecessary! Trust me, this film will work!
Because it's a GOOD FILM! If it is anything like it's promos
promise (and your promos are never misleading!) then you have a
quality product on your hands there. And of course, I have the
additional surefire proof: Filme liked it when she saw it at the
Berlinale. And she has excellent taste!

And, like Isabel, I promise you, whenever we get the chance to
watch PL anywhere near I'll get all my friends to see it. So,
please, when the big stress of the Indian release calms down a
bit, do take out some time to give us a hint when we can expect
PL to screen here in Europe! Please, pretty please!?!

Remember: AAL IZZ WELL!
PkG! :-)

Dear Aamir,
yes, I'd like a lot promoting your film among my friends and
through my macro-blog, if only you had included Italy in the
distribution of Peepli (Live). But, as usual, you have forgotten
us. So: why should I promote a movie that only few of us will see
and on a bad pirated dvd? W-H-E-N will you distribute your films
in Italy, too? It's since Lagaan we have been missing you...
Very very sad. It seems as for you world doesn't include my
Country.
Anyway: all the best for Peepli (Live). I'm sure you'll collect a
great success. No need to lose appetite and sleep.
Have a nice week-end.
Celeste

Celeste, of course we would all like our films to release everywhere. However Indian films find it difficult to find distributors in places like Italy. You should have a chat with the theater managers!!!

Hello Aamir,

I have been leaving you comments in the hope you may catch one. I
am so looking forward to seeing Peepli Live in Melbourne. And of
course, to seeing you.

As it happened we had some extra frequent flyer points so I am
flying to Melbourne from Wellington and as well as catching
Peepli Live, plan to see old friends.

Now, about those body guards of yours... I hope they let me at
least see you. They are much taller than you and I am much
shorter and... Ah! It's hopeless!

I have been spreading the word, especially to my journalist
friends. But as political journalists, they are not likely to get
MIFF as.signments. In any case, I am sure you have plenty of
interviews already lined up.

Try to see Melbourne. It's a beautiful city. I like it more than
Sydney.

Love
Katayoun

Aamir don't worry we are spreading the news in US..Peepli Live if
it turns out to have a grt story will be eventually a big hit
..you just need a good story and great set of actors to make a
movie hit ...and I think Peepli Live is going to be a hit ..are
you coming to Indian Idol 5 finals with you Peepli live team as
promised in Sony TV?

So looking forward to the film.

Aamir, you know you will always have our support. I'll be telling
anyone that will listen about the film. Great concept!
Will you be at TIFF in Toronto with Peepli Live? That would be
amazing!!!! We'd love to see you!
Good luck with the release!

Love Shikha :)

Hi Aamir
I am really looking forward for this movie.I had a question ,do
you have alpha and beta releases for your movies.I suggest even
movies should go through release cycles so that we have minimum
loss.may be iam sounding bit geeky..
Surely will do my bit of spreading the awarness among my non
Indian friends. All the best!
