25th December is the most anticipated weekend of 2009 for Bollywood film lovers! Well, that is the day on which ‘The Perfectionist Khan’ Aamir Khan comes up with his latest release, 3 Idiots. The most eagerly awaited film of 2009, 3 Idiots stars R.Madhavan, Sharman Joshi and Kareena Kapoor alongside Aamir Khan. The film based on Chetan Bhagat’s bestseller ‘Five Point Someone’ is directed by Rajkumar Hirani and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.

The marketing strategies of the film were quite interesting! From butt chairs that have been set up at leading multiplex chains across the country to the ramp show in which Aamir, Madhavan and Sharman unveiled their range of 3 Idiots T-shirts by Pantaloons, a lot have been done to ensure maximum exposure for the film. Also Aamir Khan came up with a game for the promotion of the film. The objective of the game is to find the star who has gone into hiding. The winner will get a chance to have dinner with him on New Year’s eve.

The trio of Aamir Khan, R.Madhavan and Sharman Joshi had earlier worked together in the critically and commercially successful Rang De Basanti in 2006. The lead lady of 3 Idiots, Kareena Kapoor is working with Aamir Khan for the first time.

Aamir Khan rocked the box office during the Christmas of 2008 as his Ghajini reached the peak of Indian box office. Can he do it again for the Christmas of 2009 with his 3 Idiots? Let’s wish him all the best!

A.R.Murugadoss, the maverick director who directed Aamir Khan in Ghajini last year, will be having yet another Khan for his next Bollywood project. Bollywood’s bad boy Salman Khan will play the lead role in his next project titled Kick. This romantic action thriller film will have the tall beauty Deepika Padukone playing the heroine.

Kick is a remake of this year’s namesake Telugu blockbuster directed by Surender Reddy. The original had Ravi Teja and Ileana D’Cruz in lead roles. The remake will be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Munnabhai co-writer Abhijat Joshi will pen the script.

An action packed thriller, Kick will have Salman Khan doing some daredevil stunts. The star will be doing a lot of martial arts and kick-boxing in the film. The action sequences of Kick will be shot in Tokyo.

Deepika Padukone has just wrapped up the shooting for Housefull with Sajid Nadiadwala. The producer was hesitant when he approached her for Kick as Deepika has a good rapport with Shahrukh Khan. But she made it very clear to the producer that she is open to work with any actor.

Salman Khan had thrilled his fans with his action scenes in Wanted, another remake directed by another South Indian director Prabhu Deva. Hope he will do it again with the thrilling action scenes of Kick!
