Aamir Khan ready to play Lord Krishna
Fresh from the success of Ghajini, Aamir Khan is eyeing an epic project in the future- nothing less than making a screen version of the epic Mahabharatha

“Mahabharata is a story that is very close to my heart. I want to do a film for sure, but not at this moment because you need to do full justice to that. When you are making a film on the Mahabharata, you cannot afford to make mistakes. One has to be very careful, and at the moment, I don’t have the guts.” he revealed to the media.

Then comes the inevitable question - what character would he like to play if he made the Mahabharata?

Naturally everyone expects him to don the mantle of any of the two heroes - Karna or Arjun, but after much deliberation he says, “Unfortunately, I cannot do it because of my height…I don’t look like a warrior, so I cannot do that role. I am not six feet tall, so these roles will not suit me.”

So which role will suit him? But of course, Krishna comes the quick response. Says Aamir, “…the best role for me would be that of Lord Krishna’s.”

Unfortunately, the divine role will have to wait, because as of now Aamir is considering Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s offer of playing the great actor-director Guru Dutt in an upcoming project.

Mehra is the director of the much-acclaimed Rang De Basanthi, which brought accolades to Aamir Khan in the past.

So, Aamir will definitely prefer to complete his project before he shoots the Epic. I think this info is informative..

Kalpana was Killed On December 25….

Ghajinian often used metaphor for somebody who tries again and again for success.

The protagonist of this movie tries again and again to remember those who killed his beloved and beat him to half dead. Its very spine chilling to watch how Asin is killed in cold blood and Amir is beaten which makes him loose his memory. To his help are only those tatoo over his body and the poloroid he takes to differentiate friends from enemy.

This movie boasts a very well written plot that may be compared to that of Johny gaddar. The film opens with Amir having only short term memory, i.e he could remember things for only 15 minutes. Even then he wants to avenge the killers of his lover. He goes behind the killers, takes pictures, tattoos their names, addresses, Phone numbers etc on his own body to remember them. He hounds them with a passion even after failing several times. A Police officer happens to read his diary and comes to know of his plot. Jiya khan a medical student helps him out with his treatment and is interested in doing a case study on him. But her professor discourages her cause of the risk involved. Watch the movie to find out whether Amir succeeds in getting his revenge…

The best part which makes it stand apart is the role of Amir. Although cannot be compared to that of Salman in Tere Naam but still this role of Amir would be remembered for the superb rendering of a psycopath by Amir. Usually we have a psycopath to be associated with a negative character but here we have a slight difference wherein the main lead is shown to have fulfulling his revenge against those who killed his lover and have injured him to an extent where he his mentally affected.

The portrayal of Amir in two diverse roles one of which is a very sweet sensitive young businessman and the other as mentally affected psyco killer who has ability to remember only 15 mins which he utilizes well to revenge those who are responsible for his present state. Asin probably was irreplaceable thats why Amir brought her into the same role that she placed in Tamil. A Cute innocent person who could grab the attention of anyone even the young business Tycoon who has nothing else than business in mind is forced to get attracted by the simplicity and innocense of Asin who believes that Amir is a striving actor who wants to get into to modeling as she is.

Asin thottumkal is simply superb. she lives to what her name says without sin, purity thats what she looks like. here is one actress who could give sleepless nights not only to youngster but also to all her competitors. Asin has a truck load of innocense which could make any one go fida on her.

Amir Khan is good but having watched both the Tamil version only after watching the Hindi movie I could say whether Surya was more perfect that Mr.Perfect Amir in this role.

Jia Khan plays her part well but I am sure the major impact that Asin had given still lingers not letting anyone think of Jia’s role in this movie. Its good to see the great change in Jia Khan after the image we had after watching Nishabd.

The movie is supported very well by a superb cinematography and Song track.

Still the release is under question due to a stay on release from Madras High Court but dont forget to watch this superb movie when ever it releases.

International drug testers are keeping a watchful eye on Lance Armstrong during his probation period, the seven-time Tour de France winner revealed. Armstrong claims to have been drug tested 11 times in the past 18 weeks and two times in the past four day. The latest test was conducted by officials from the International Cycling Union on Thursday at his Texas home. “UCI control. They flew a guy from Germany for it. That makes a ton of sense,” Armstrong wrote on Twitter, a social networking website. Twitter allows users to send posted on subscribers’ cell phones and the Internet. Armstrong even let his Twitter readers know that he was on his way to meet with the drug testers. “I am back from the shop after riding four hours. I hear the drug testers are waiting at the house. #11, he wrote. Armstrong plans to resume his cycling career next year.
