Bollywood Rock-star Salman Khan is yet again imitated in The Perfectionist Aamir Khan’s upcoming film Dhobi Ghat. This is not the first time. Salman Khan has been imitated in in Jaane Tu… and Peepli Live too. And now, Dhobi Ghat will have Pratik wearing Salman Khan’s trademark bracelet and is also obsessed about body building. Well, Pratik’s character is a dhobi who wants to be an actor.
Despite all this, Aamir’s love for Salman is well known in the industry they are the best of friends. According to a source, “Aamir Khan loves Salman as a friend and his films are a proof of that. Many of Aamir’s films have some element of Salman Khan in them. And now, Pratik’s character in Dhobi Ghat is shown to be a Salman Khan fan. Pratik is seen wearing the famous Salman Khan bracelet.
He loves working out to build a body like Salman’s and he wants to become an actor like him. Aamir insisted that the character be Salman’s fan probably to make up for having mocked him in Jaane Tu… in the Pappu can’t dance saala song. So, Aamir suggested to Kiran that the posters of the film should also highlight this so it looks authentic on Pratik’s character.”
Kiran Rao confirms, “Yes, Aamir suggested Salman. Pratik’s character hails from a different city and is a part-time dhobi and a wannabe actor. He is into body-building and thinks Salman is a cool dude.”
The film is scheduled for release in cinemas on 21 January 2011.
