Aamir Khan and Raju Hirani clash over `3 Idiots`

Spicezee Bureau

Mumbai: After staying true of his promise by refraining from any kind of meddling with the filmmaking process of ‘3 idiots’, Aamir Khan finally gave into his dark side as he clashed with director Raju Hirani on creative issues. Giving his perfectionist insight, the fabled actor entered into a war of words with Hirani over the promos of the film. Unwilling to budge from his stand, Hirani stood his ground while an annoyed Aamir walked off during the argument. Breathing bad blood the two Titans are now busy boasting about their egos. And as of now it’s unclear whether Aamir would be a part of the film’s promotion. Confirming the news a daily said, “There were three promos cut for the first look. The selected promo will be incorporated with the release of ‘London Dreams’ on October 30. One promo was unanimously rejected by the three strong-headed guys, producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra, director Raju Hirani and actor Aamir Khan. The promos which Aamir preferred showed the film as it is, while Raju wanted to show the spirit of the film in its first look. Raju was not in favour of the promo, which was cut on Aamir’s behest. So, when Raju said that he wanted to use the promo that he has finalised, Aamir tried to reason with him for close to 45 minutes. Aamir then realised that Raju wasn’t going to change his decision". Peeved with the director, Aamir rushed out of the office. And as per reports the cracks between the two came on Sunday at Vidhu’s Bandra office and Aamir has not visited them since, although the unit has been calling him. “Not many directors have the guts to stand up for their ideas in front of a star like Aamir Khan and put their foot down saying that they want something their own way. Aamir might be upset right now, but we are sure that his respect for Raju will bring him around. However, right now all’s not well,” adds the source.
