Aamir
Khan
is
determined
to
make
a
success
out
of
his
nephew
Imraan's
career,
come
what
may.
And
even
if
that
means
taking
on
the
competition
headlong,
so
be
it.
Anything
for
family,
seems
to
be
the
marketing
motto,
as
Harry
Baweja
puts
in
80-crore
plus
Priyanka
in
the
hi-fi
sci-fi
Love
Story
2050
to
ensure
his
son's
super
success
on
July
4.
Enter
Aamir
Khan
with
nephew
Imraan's
Jaane
Tu
Ya
Jaane
Na
and
on
same
Friday
as
Harman's
debut.
"The
Bawejas
were
shocked," says
a
source
close
to
the
film.
"They
had
planned
and
strategized
their
film's
release
almost
six
months
in
advance.
They
had
spoken
to
all
their
potential
competitors
from
Salman
and
God
Tussi
Great
Ho
to
Ram
Gopal
Varma
and
Sarkar
Raj
to
Apoorva
Lakhia
's
Mission
Istanbul
and
Aziz
Mirza's
Kismat
Konnection
to
Yashraj
and
Tips.
Harman
called
them
up
personally
to
make
sure
his
film
comes
on
a
freed
Friday.
Then
suddenly
Aamir
showed
up
to
create
an
almost
Saawariya-Om
Shanti
Om
crisis.
Jaane
Tu's
release
was
nowhere
in
sight
when
Love
Story
2050
was
announced.
Suddenly
they
came
out
of
the
blue!
"
Harry
Baweja
made
a
panic
call
to
Aamir.
Says
the
source,
"Harry
Baweja
knows
Aamir
from
the
time
he
did
B.
Subhash's
Love
Love
Love
where
Harry
was
an
assistant
director.
Ever
since
then
they've
been
in
touch.
When
they
spoke,
Aamir
told
Harry
he
was
indeed
thinking
of
coming
on
4
July.
The
reason
given
was
that
Sanjay
Gadhvi's
Kidnap
in
which
Imraan
has
a
key
role
was
coming
on
July
25.
Aamir
reasoned
that
Imraan
couldn't
have
two
releases
too
close
to
one
another.
Later,
the
Bawejas
were
horrified
to
know
that
Kidnap
was
scheduled
for
August
22.
Harry
urged
Aamir
to
move
his
film
to
July
11.
But
Aamir
is
adamant.
"
Incidentally,
Genelia
D'souza
who
plays
Imraan's
leading
lady
is
also
Harman's
girl
in
his
second
release
Victory.
"The
Bawejas
first
trailer
started
on
a
Sunday.
That
same
day
a
blog
went
up
saying
'Imraan
Versus
Harman'.
That's
when
the
Bawejas
first
came
to
know
that
the
Khans
were
planning
to
release
on
the
same
day.
Since
then
there
has
been
a
systematic
campaign
to
bring
down
Harman
on
the
blogs
with
comments
like
'Harman
looks
gay'.
He
looks
like
a
lot
of
things.
But
not
gay.
One
of
the
blogs
comments
cattily
on
actors
like
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Harman
Baweja
relying
on
their
physique.
Someone
even
broke
into
a
website
(wikipedia.com)
sponsoring
Harman's
film
and
defaced
it.
They
even
changed
Harman's
picture
to
an
unidentifiable
man,
and
said
the
film
was
budgeted
at
60,000
rupees
and
was
to
be
released
for
30
seconds
in
July
1950.
The
Bawejas
traced
the
defacers
to
Delhi.
The
identity
of
the
hackers
was
used
just
once,
to
deface
Harman's
face."
Harman
smiles
off
all
the
competition.
"Healthy
competition
is
always
welcome.
I'd
rather
focus
on
my
work.
We've
just
started
the
promotion
of
our
first
song.
It's
one
of
the
costliest
songs
ever
filmed."
