Aamir
Khan
is
going
through
the
best
phase,
professionally.
"No
one
can
predict
which
way
the
pendulum
will
swing,
before
a
film
releases.
But
Jaane
Tu...
Ya
Jaane
Na
has
fared
beyond
my
expectations.
It's
a
Jaane
Tu...
Ya
Jaane
Na
wave
right
now,
like
it
was
when
Bobby
had
released.
The
euphoria
was
also
witnessed
during
Qayamat
Se
Qayamat
Tak,
Maine
Pyar
Kiya
and
Kaho
Naa...
Pyaar
Hai.
I
only
wish
Chachajaan
[late
Nasir
Husain]
was
alive
to
share
the
happiness.
He
was
very
close
to
Imran," Aamir
tells
me
as
we
meet
again
for
a
heart-to-heart
conversation.
With
Imran's
debut
vehicle
proving
a
major
hit,
is
Aamir
guiding
his
nephew
how
to
go
about
in
his
career?
"I
would
never
do
that.
It's
important
to
take
your
own
decisions.
You
must
learn
to
walk
without
crutches.
Right
from
the
start
of
my
career,
I
took
my
own
decisions...
I
made
mistakes,
but
those
were
my
mistakes.
I
think,
I've
learnt
more
from
my
failures
than
hits
and
I
would
advice
Imran
the
same," Aamir
states.
But
a
number
of
people
feel
that
if
one
wants
to
sign
Imran,
it
has
to
be
via
Aamir.
True?
"Yeah,
that's
what
everyone
feels.
In
fact,
a
number
of
people
do
call
up,
enquiring
about
Imran,
but
I
tell
them,
'Yeh
lo
number,
Imran
ko
khud
phone
karo',"
he
laughs.
While
on
Jaane
Tu...
Ya
Jaane
Na,
Aamir
has
incorporated
a
song
that
was
deleted
from
the
final
version.
"It's
my
favourite
number,
but
Mansoor,
Abbas
and
I
took
a
call
jointly.
We
felt
the
song
was
only
making
the
film
lengthier.
But
since
the
results
are
out,
the
song
has
been
added
in
its
third
week.
Initially,
we
thought
of
retaining
it
for
just
one
week.
But
looking
at
the
feedback,
we
may
stretch
it
to
three
weeks.
However,
let
me
add,
the
song
will
not
be
a
part
of
the
final
cut
in
the
DVD.
It
will
be
featured
in
the
unseen
portions,"
Aamir
divulges.
With
Ghajini
complete
and
slated
for
release
in
November,
Aamir
will
begin
shooting
for
Rajkumar
Hirani's
film
from
August
onwards.
"It's
called
3
IDIOTS.
We
didn't
get
the
title
[IDIOTS]...
I
am
looking
forward
to
working
with
Madhavan
and
Sharman
Joshi
[the
Rang
De
Basanti
team].
Kareena
is
now
doing
the
film,"
the
soft-spoken
actor
states.
The
topic
moves
on
to
his
next
project.
Has
he
thought
of
his
next
directorial
venture?
"Not
yet!
I
haven't
started
looking
for
stories
either.
Earlier,
I
was
busy
with
Ghajini,
then
the
release
of
Jaane
Tu...
Ya
Jaane
Na
took
most
of
my
time,"
Aamir
confesses.
But
the
buzz
is,
Aamir
intends
casting
Bachchan
Sr.
in
his
film.
"I
was
at
a
loss
of
words
when
Mr.
Bachchan
said
that
he
would
love
to
work
in
a
film
directed
by
me.
He's
my
favourite
actor.
It
would
be
a
privilege
to
direct
him,
but
like
I
said,
I
haven't
zeroed
on
a
subject
yet,"
Aamir
says.
What
about
Delhi
Belly?
Reportedly,
the
film
will
be
made
in
English,
not
Hindi.
"That's
true!
We
are
targeting
at
the
global
audience.
I
don't
want
it
to
be
a
bilingual
[Hindi,
English].
We
tried
that
earlier
[Mangal
Pandey],
but
it
didn't
work,"
he
says.
With
Ranbir
Kapoor
not
part
of
the
project
anymore,
will
Imran
step
in?
"Ranbir
couldn't
do
the
film
due
to
date
hassles.
As
for
Imran,
let's
see.
We
haven't
taken
a
call
yet,"
Aamir
states.
