Aamir Khan screening 'Peepli [Live]' for Indian Prim Minister

Aamir Khan screening 'Peepli [Live]' for Indian Prim Minister: After showing his much appreciated production Peepli [Live] to the MNS chief Raj Thackeray a few days back, superstar Aamir Khan flew to Delhi to screen the movie for Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on Sunday evening.

Dr. Singh saw the film at his official residence 7, Race Course Road in New Delhi. Reports say Aamir was accompanied by the film’s director Anusha Rizvi and actors Raghuvir Yadav and Omkar Das Manikpuri at the screening.

Aamir also screened the movie for BJP MPs. The party’s senior leader L K Advani, who had wept while seeing Aamir’s Taare Zameen Par, also watched Peepli [Live] at this special screening.

Though Mr. Advani liked the film and praised it for its realistic depiction of rural life, he wished that the movie’s theme was not farmer’s suicide but NREGA (National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) which guarantees a hundred days of wage employment per year for every adult member of the rural household.

“I wish for the main theme of the story, the filmmakers had chosen some subject other than farmers’ suicide,” Mr. Advani said.

Peepli [Live] tells the story of a poor farmer who is manipulated by his elder brother in deciding to commit suicide to avail a government scheme that pays compensation money to the family of the deceased. With elections around the corner, the media and politicians jump in to extract maximum advantage out of the poor farmer’s plight.

Rani Mukerji Bollywood Actress at Peepli [Live] Premiere, Pics

Rani Mukerji Bollywood Actress at Peepli [Live] Premiere: Rani Mukerji was comfort styled in a grey blouson dress at a special preview of Peepli Live hosted by Aamir Khan at Ketnav in Pali Hill, Khar, Mumbai.

Rani looked beautiful and content as she posed for photogs with Aamir Khan and wife Kiran Rao.

The usually style challenged 32-year-old Black star rocked a V neckline half sleeve dress with banded elastic cuffs and wide banded hem. She accessorized with tan ankle strap heels, leather purse and an orange garland in the neck.

She wore light makeup. Her waist length straight hair casually draped her right shoulder.

Over the past couple of years, Rani has shied away from public appearances because of the media's interest in her personal life.

She made an exception last month for pals Aamir and Kiran when she attended the Peepli Live music launch. On Tuesday, she rallied behind the filmmaker couple once again, an indication of their deep friendship and mutual respect as professionals.

A talent power house, Rani seems to have lost her way in Bollywood. We would love to see her out and about a lot more like old time times, even if she occasionally rubs the press the wrong way.

Salman Khan at Aamir Khan's Peepli [Live] Special Screening

Salman Khan at Aamir Khan's Peepli [Live] Special Screening: Salman Khan is in complete awe of his best Khan friend. After watching Aamir Khan’s film Peepli [Live] at a special screening recently the man didn’t allow Aamir to touch him. Sounds strange!
Aamir Khan
Yes, Sallu miyan is quite scared of Aamir’s touch as he fears that the Peepli [Live] producer can turn him to gold. “I didn’t let Aamir touch me after the film. Agar mujhe gold mein badal deta toh???” tweeted Salman. If you are thinking that’s a silly comment by Salman then it is not.

Rather this is a compliment, as Salman has started calling Aamir ‘Mr Midas Touch’ after seeing Peepli [Live].

“Mr Midas Touch has produced a picture. Midas Touch matlab ke Aamir Khan. Natha. Peepli has a mad-a#*touch,” Salman tweeted.

About praising Aamir, we understood. But what does ‘mad-a#* touch’ means, guys?
