Aamir Khan sets record with ‘Talaash’ fee
Perhaps, for the first time in the history of Hindi cinema an actor will get a larger share of the profit than the primary producers
Everyone was quite shocked when writer-director Reema Kagti managed to rope in Aamir Khan for her thriller Talaash (earlier called Dhuan).

We think Reema’s close camaraderie with Kiran Rao (Aamir’s wife) and the ace actor’s harmonious relationship with Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani (he was in their first production, Dil Chahta Hai, remember?) were deciding factors for Aamir to say ‘yes’. Now, we have found out something else too. Click here to read more34 Comments
