Junaid Will Make His Own Choice: Aamir Khan On PVR's New IMAX Theatre!

The actor-filmmaker found it funny when he was addressed as a geek at the PVR Kotak IMAX launch!

Aamir Khan was rather amused at the launch of the PVR Kotak IMAX theatre last evening, when the host repeatedly called him ‘tech savvy’. Everyone wondered ‘Aamir and tech savvy…really?’ Aamir came to the anchor’s rescue and said with a smile, “You know I’m afraid I’m not tech savvy at all. But…eh…I’m glad think you think so.”

In fact, Aamir is known to be technologically challenged and is not too fond of mobile phones and computers – never mind that he was seen using a tablet. Also, the ace director can sit for hours together on high-end machines and get his movies edited. But hey, that can hardly be described as being geeky wethinks!

Aamir’s presence at the new IMAX launch seemed to be because of two things. One, he has been associated with the PVR group for a few years now for his productions and even holds test screenings of his films there. And two, his next big project, Yash Raj Films’ Dhoom:3 will be India’s first film to be shot in the original IMAX format (hopefully followed by Shekhar Kapur’s Paani).

But does that make Aamir tech savvy enough, we wonder!

Shekhar Kapoor's 'Paani' Is Hrithik Roshan's Dream

The avant-garde Indian filmmaker Shekhar Kapur is back with his futuristic film Paani, which has Hrithik Roshan in the main lead. The first look of the film is out and says, “When the wells run dry, we will know the worth of Paani.” 

Shekhar has been toying with this idea for quite long. In the August of 2005, he talked about 'Paani' in his blog for the first time: “Today another dream was rekindled. Paani. A film that has lived in my consciousness for almost 5 years, when I watched 50 women and children standing in the hot sun in Mumbai. Each carrying a bucket waiting for a tap to start dripping with water.” 

As reported online, “The movie is based in the thirty-five years into the future in a city with a population of 20 million people. A war has begun in the quest for water known as the Water Wars between those that have water and those that do not. At a time when water has become a weapon of social and economic control.”
