After conquering Bollywood through performances as diverse as a colonised villager (Lagaan), a dyslexic teacher (Taare Zameen Par) and a man with short-term memory loss (Ghajini), Aamir Khan is reportedly ready to play a madman.

But that's not all. Rumour from the Cannes Film Festival is that director Pan Nalin is prepared to cast Aamir opposite recent Oscar winner Kate Winslet, for a film based on the short story Toba Tek Singh by Saadat Hasan Manto, which takes a look inside a Lahore mental asylum in 1947, using the situation to examine the Indo-Pak relationship around the time of Partition.

Pan Nalin has reportedly said that either Kate Winslet or Rachel Weisz could give justice to the role of Dr Sophie; he plans to meet both the actresses after the Cannes festival to finalise the casting.

Winslet, like Khan, is known for playing a diverse range of roles -- and is considered by many to be the finest English-speaking actress of her generation. Some of her noted performances include Titanic, Sense and Sensibility, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Little Children, Revolutionary Road and The Reader.

Reports say that Aamir is impressed with the script and has expressed a desire to play the male lead Bishan Singh. If he signs the dotted line, then you will see him playing the role of a lunatic in a mental asylum.

Another name mentioned for the male lead role is Saif Ali Khan.

i hate amir shahrukh,,,

Punch Farce

Can someone translate the Hindi posts.

Why do people post whole messages in Hindi.

I understand a single punch line or a hello or hi in Hindi is OK
but why don't you post in English?

I am not 'demanding' but just requesting.

This forum is read by people all over India and the world
and many people don't know Hindi. These people will
just feel excluded.

Consider this scenario, you are in a group at a party
and there are non-Hindi people, don't you think it
would be rude if you are talking in Hindi?????


thanks

@farce

no one is staring at you if you speak in your language..

english is not my language..if this forum were in hindi, i would have never used english...

remeber, use the language which your heart says, ....but when you speak your language, we may not understand so pls traslate that to Hindi..

(i meant english)

saurav_k

Plz Carry on further discussion in Englsih only.

Its tough to translate it exactly. But he seems to hate aamir and he says that aamir is nothing when compared to kate winslet.

Gothic asks him- why? Are you a fan of shahrukh or simply against aamir?!

mickey

@farce

i told hiim, that why is he glorifing aamir..))
he will not even reach the knees of Winslate..
better he should look upon his destituted wife and children, who miss him.

@mail2sc

Like farce there are many members who dont understand Hindi. We must respect all members irrespective of the language they speak. English is an universal language which you know very well. So, we must avoid the use of any Non-English language in the forum. Farce is a very senior and respectable member of IBF. I was a bit angry for your post even after farce requested to post in English. Its ok. Forget it. I am not angry anymore. You are like a brother to me.

gothic_coder

Come-on chill guys..Farce specifically mentioned it's just a request, Also writing in hindi wasn't deliberate effort..It's just mail2sc replied in hindi so do i (That comes in manner )..


Lolz...I get that




P.S
No more discussion in hindi-english now

Aasha karta hoon sab samajh gaye honge
(Hope everyone unsderstand now)

This thread is going completely offtopic. Plz return to the main topic.

Someone may or may not like a particular actor. But aamir khan is one of the most talented and respected and successful actors of bollywood. How do you see this combination of Bollywood and Hollywood?

Punch Farce

Here you go ;-)

Translation:

"Really? If I come before you and talk in Tamil won't you stare at me?"

Back on topic ;-)

I am neutral on Amir Khan, don't hate him and don't love him

Kate Winlset I thought sucked in Titanic, then I watched
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, one of my favourite movies
and became her fan, she had a wonderful performance in that movie.

@farce

you know i really like Tamil...i mean i am really feel its a very beautiful languuage just like my bengali( mother tongue)

It will be worth watching, if Amir can act to the level of the princess

saurav_k

Are we not underestimating Aamir here? What is the level of the princess? Why is this a common conception that all hollywood actors are better than bollywood actors? Aamir is a world class actor. I also like Kate winslet, but I think she will have to match Aamir's standard of acting if they work together.
