Aamir plans special screening of 'PK' for Sanjay DuttAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
After putting statutory warnings over smoking scenes, the Censor Board has now introduced anti-drinking warnings in scenes where actors are depicted consuming alcohol. However, actor Aamir Khan says there are other ways of conveying this message.
"I feel the creativity of the film should not be affected. I don't think this is the solution as it spoils the creativity of the film.
"The audience are paying money and coming to watch the film, so they should not get disturbed. Either put out a message before or after the film, that's fine. I don't think this is the correct way of going about it. There are other ways to convey this message," Aamir Khan said.
Adding to this, Vidhu Vinod Chopra said: "I feel attention gets more attraction and it has a reverse effect. Youngsters can get more rebellious as it will be counter-productive."
The first Hindi film to get such an insertion will be "Happy New Year" starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, which releases Friday.
Actor Aamir Khan who Thursday unveiled the teaser of his upcoming movie "PK" said he was planning a special screening of the film for fellow actor Sanjay Dutt who is currently in jail.
Sanjay Dutt has a prominent role in "PK".
Asked if the team was planning to hold a special screening for Sanjay Dutt, Aamir Khan said: "I was talking about this with Raj Kumar Hirani... we have this thing in mind. We are planning to have a special screening for Sanjay but depending on the permission. We will try our best."
On the tussle over release dates, Aamir Khan said: "I think we all actors, Salman (Khan), Hrithik (Roshan), Ajay (Devgn) don't release our films on the same date. We want each and every film to do well."
Directed by Raj Kumar Hirani, "PK" features Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput among others.
Anushka said her look would be very different in the film.
"I am extremely excited about this film and I have a new look in the film. I have been getting lots of compliments for the new hairstyle. People are liking it."
Aamir Khan also said content was the backbone of his new film.
"Content is the backbone of 'PK'. But with this film, we have worked a lot on our posters."
