Latest Bollywood News Gupshup – No Acting for Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan

No acting for ‘perfectionist’ Bold Actor Aamir Khan in 2010.

Bollywood star Aamir Khan is known to strive for perfection. He now plans to take a break from acting this year as he wants to concentrate on his role as the producer of “Delhi Belly”, “Peepli Live” and “Dhobi Ghat”.

“I want to take a break from acting this year. So no shootings for me. I would like to concentrate more as a producer,” Aamir said at a press conference in Big Cinemas here late Friday.

“I will be reading scripts as an actor but I am not sure whether I would be saying yes to acting. I would like to market my films internationally as I personally feel that our films have potential in the international market,” he pointed out.

This year, Aamir will be seen in home production “Dhobi Ghat”, which has been directed by Aamir Khan Wife Kiran Rao.

With his ‘one year one movie’ plan, Aamir has managed to deliver superhits one after another and says he has been lucky in terms of directors and scripts.

“I try to pick up films that I love or which move me emotionally. I have been lucky in the last 10 years to be successful. It’s because I have been lucky enough to work with directors who are very good,” Aamir maintained.

3 Idiots Bollywood Released Film Top Grosser in United States

3 Idiots is Bollywood Top Grosser ever in US.

Aamir Khan-starrer 3 Idiots has set a new box office record for Bollywood films in the United States.

Within two weeks of its release, it has grossed $4.8 million, according to two major box office tracking websites, Hollywood.com and Deadline Hollywood.

No other Bollywood film has ever crossed the $4 million barrier before.

The film collected $2.15 million in its opening week and ranked at number 12 at the box office among all films showing that week. It is playing in 119 theatres.

“It is the perfect masala mix that is working for the film,” said film critic Aseem Chhabra. The relatively infrequent releases of Aamir Khan films, the reputation of director Raj Kumar Hirani, the buzz on Facebook, and the opportunity the film offered to people of Indian origin to relive their college days in India, were among the other factors likely to have influenced the film’s success.

How long 3 Idiots retains the record, however, remains to be seen. Bollywood Upcoming Movie 2010 My name is Khan, being released by Fox Searchlight Pictures on February 12, is likely to prove a tough competitor. Shahrukh Khan is immensely popular in the US, with three of his films - Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, and Om Shanti Om figuring among the top five grosser.
