Like Aamir's new look?


Trust Aamir Khan [Images] to toss us a surprise.
Always experimenting with his looks, Khan stunned us all when he walked in with wife Kiran Rao at the Race premiere last week.
Sporting tremendously close-shorn hair -- apparently the next step is shaving it off entirely -- for his upcoming Ghajini, Khan looks drastically different from the spiky-haired look we'd gotten used to with Taare Zameen Par [Images].
What do you think of the new look, dear reader?Is it yet another
Aamir masterstroke? And which of Aamir's distinctive looks have you
liked best, over the years? Tell us!

'We are waiting to welcome Barbara to our country'Hrithik raoshon is


It seems you're very involved in the music of Krazzy 4.
Though I have done only a promotional song for the film, I'm involved in all the filmmaking aspects, be it recording or music-sitting or dialogue.
So who's done the best item number for the film -- Shah Rukh Khan, Rakhi or you?
I have not seen my song completely; the special effects are still being done. I think my song should be the best! (smiles)
Finally, tell us about your forthcoming film, Kites.
Anurag Basu will direct the film and we are aiming for
a year-end release. Barbara Mori will be my heroine;
she is from Latin America. I have seen her films and pictures;
she is absolutely fantastic. Dad had gone to the US and signed her up.
We are waiting to welcome her to our country.

Hrithik: My item number is better than SRK and Rakhi Sawant's


After playing Akbar brilliantly in Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar, Hrithik Roshan is all set for his item number in Krazzy 4.
The actor, who says that his number is better than Shah Rukh Khan and Rakhi Sawant's, talks to Girish Rao about life after Jodhaa Akbar, his latest ad, and his upcoming film, Kites.
You must have received a lot of compliments for your work in Jodhaa Akbar. Which one was the best?
I have been receiving compliments for the film since the day it released. I am just overwhelmed. Things have never been so good. The compliments have always been in the superlatives. I am trying to assess if they are real or not.
Saira (Banu) aunty called me up one day and informed me that Dilip (Kumar) uncle wanted to give me a hug for my role. He was very impressed and there can't be a compliment bigger than this.
I don't think that the feedback for any of my films has lasted so long. None of my releases till date has given me so much of success, love and respect than Jodhaa Akbar. This is my best phase; such a good thing has not happened before.
I thank all my fans and Ashutosh (Gowariker) for believing in me for this role. But there were a lot of protests regarding the film.
Well, of course, that was very frustrating. You have to accept the fact that there are some minds, which look to grab opportunities. What happened was ridiculous.
There was no any consensus on the objections, and there was no need to
retaliate. Thankfully, everything faded later on and now the film is on
its path of success again.
