Aamir- The modern-day Hanuman

[netfree]

How about Aamir Khan enacting ‘modern-day Hanuman’ in Mani Rathnam’s modernized tale of ‘Raavan’? Fantastic, isn’t? But let’s not get along with our own imaginations as Mr. Perfectionist hasn’t got over any offers from Mani Rathnam.



This is all about Aamir’s role of modern-day Hanuman role in producer Uru Patel’s film on Hanuman. Earlier, a Japanese actor was supposed to perform the flamboyant role as the character demands over mastery over martial skills of flipping and swaying through the air and space.

The offer for this graciously appealing role has passed over to the hands of Aamir Khan. According to the closer sources, the actor will sign the deal only after reading through entire script. Much specifically, Mr. Perfectionist has insisted about his signature in each page of full-bound script to ensure no changes are made latter in shooting.

Aamir has been keen to do super-hero film specially after Hrithik Roshan’s Krissh and Shah Rukh Khan’s forthcoming Ra.1 (where he plays a desi Spiderman). Hanuman will now be played as a super-hero with the best action directors and special-effects experts ensuring Aamir’s safe passage into super-heroism.

Rama and Raavan roles will be performed by Hollywood superstars Keanu Reeves and Gary Oldman respectively. Earlier, Shilpa Shetty was supposed to be casted for ‘Sita’ and hunt is now over an international face.

The task of wielding megaphone has now passed on from Louis Mandoki to Chuck Russell as he’s well versed with such genres and Hindi language as well.

A hush-hush meeting happened in Los Angeles three months ago at producer Uru Patel’s residence where director Chuck Russell met up with the project’s executive producer Pradeep Guha. The project has now passed into Aamir’s hand and his approval is awaited.

Says Pradeep Guha, “He has been approached. But Aamir will decide after he reads the script.”

Other sources insist that the makers of Hanuman are keen to have Aamir on board and ready to comply with all his preconditions.

Once Aamir signs the film formally, the first schedule of Hanuman is expected to be held in Rajasthan at the end of the year. The rest of the film will be shot at Hollywood studios.
