Check out Aamir Khan’s new look for Peekay

Aamir Khan’s first look from his upcoming flick Peekay, dressed in a rather weird combination of a blazer teamed with a ghagra, created a lot of buzz earlier last week. And now, the superstar was spotted in a Rajasthani attire on the sets of Rajkumar Hirani’s film. In the first still, Aamir’s annoyed expression and ill fitting black shoes completed his look

In the latest still, Aamir is seen donning a traditional Rajasthani dress teamed with a turban.

Peekay went on floors early February and will have a 45-day schedule in Rajasthan. The film stars Anushka Sharma as the female lead. Also, Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjay Dutt play a cameo in the film. Aamir plays an alcoholic in the movie

Meanwhile, Aamir Khan and Sanjay Dutt, have started bonding over their exercise regimens on the sets of the film.

On reaching Rajasthan, director Rajkumar Hirani zeroed in on a far off location for his cast and crew.

Initial three days, everyone including Aamir stayed there but later, the actor faced a bit of a problem. “Aamir couldn’t set up a gym in the haveli since it did not have the required amenities,” says an insider close to the project. “And since he needs to maintain his physique for Dhoom:3, he requested Hirani if he could shift to a nearby hotel. Hirani had no problems,” says the source.

Adds the source, “Once Aamir reached the hotel, he immediately converted a conference room into a gym where he works out every day. And soon, even Sanjay, who’s known for maintaining his chiseled physique, joined Aamir.”
“Since Sanjay sir is also particular about his workouts, he joined Aamir in the hotel. Except for their stay and workouts, both the actors make sure they hang out with the entire team while they shoot in and around Mandawa,” adds the insider.

Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan and his female protagonist in movies like ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ and ‘Khabhi Khushi Khabhi Gham’Kajol are voted as the most romantic couple of all time in the Bollywood. The poll was conducted by Sanona, the UK’s largest online Pay-Per-View Indian movie portal.

They won the poll for their scorching chemistry on the screen in the Bollywood’s all-time classic ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’.

In the movie the couple play two young indian’s who fall in love during a eurotrip. The climax scene where Kajol runs to get on to the train for Shahrukh still gives goose bumps to fans while watching.

“There was somewhat of a gap between ShahRukh Khan and Kajol, and the rest. This shows that they really have captivated the hearts of millions in the past 20 years since first coming together in ‘Baazigar’ (1993). Perhaps they are the only on-screen couple who can actually draw audiences on the basis on them being in a movie together,” said Adam Davies, CEO of Sanona.
