UNCLE YASH WANTS MR PERFECTIONIST

Chopra Sr has Aamir in mind for his next, which he will direct.

Buzz is that Yash Chopra, who celebrated his birthday last night, has signed Aamir Khan for his next directorial project.

Chopra Sr is looking to return from a five-year directorial break. His last was Veer Zaara with SRK.

Yash directed Aamir in Parampara in 1992. The director then approached him for Darr (1993). Shah Rukh finally did the film.

A source in the industry reveals, "Chopra has been working on a number of scripts but now has his heart set on one recently. He thinks Aamir is perfect for the part. He has approached the actor and will soon meet him."

Relations between Aamir and the banner improved after Fanaa. If Khan does the film, it will take their association to a new level." The source further adds, "There is an urgency in the YRF clan to make big films with established stars." Chopra Sr wants to start his film by early 2010 and release it by the end of the year.

Says Rafiq Gangjee of YRF, "Yash Chopra's next directorial script has still not been finalised. The issue of casting arises only after that."

AAMIR LOSES BABY

Aamir Khan is overwhelmed; his wife Kiran Rao who was two months pregnant has suffered a miscarriage.

The actor who hasn't been blogging for a while put up this post confirming the sad news, 'I have bad news people. Kiran and I lost our baby. Even with our best efforts we were not capable to avert a miscarriage. The last 2 months have been a great effort for us and that is one of the reasons I was absent from the blog in more ways than one. K and I need time to heal. I will be away for a while.'

Kiran had been visiting Breach Candy hospital from where sources had established her pregnancy a month ago. Aamir Khan has always been enigmatic about his private life and it’s unanticipated to know that the actor would give out the sad news on his blog. Maybe he is just trying to save the media emotion that would have been created once the news would have reached them first.

Our pity with Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao and we hope they can pass through these trying times as soon as possible.
