Aamir's surprise shoot

Aamir Khan will appear in Kiran Rao's directorial debut titled Dhobi Ghaat. The actor shot for the film last week, after his return from LA.

Initially, Aamir's presence on the set of Rao's film was construed as a routine visit. He surprised the crew when he shot a scene with Prateik Babbar.

Only if you want me to

As reported ('Anything for you, Kiran'; HiTLIST, Nov 8), Aamir was in LA promoting Taare Zameen Par. On his return he had a discussion about Dhobi Ghaat with Kiran.

A source reveals, "Aamir was very clear that he wouldn't be a part of this project if Kiran didn't have a role that needed him. The Khan wife is working with a lot of newcomers in the film and they realised that they perhaps needed a star presence. Besides Prateik, there are lot of young boys and girls who have been chosen after several auditions." Aamir's impromptu shoot came as a surprise to everyone."

While details of Aamir's role aren't available, it will be short. "Dhobi Ghaat is totally Kiran's baby. She is looking after every detail by herself. However, she does turn to Aamir when required. He isn't interfering with the project at all," concludes an insider from the film.
