Screen Talk: Sorry, wrong number

When Aamir Khan’s look in his upcoming film Ghajini was released recently, little did anyone know that his picture with rippled muscles would turn out to be a nightmare for Dr Surekha Verma, a resident of Kanjurmarg in Mumbai, who has nothing to do with the film.A source said, “One of the assistant directors of Ghajini wrote a random number as a temporary tattoo on Aamir’s body. The pictures of Aamir were then printed in the newspaper. However, the number happened to be a lady’s number, who has nothing to do with either Aamir or the film. She received several calls asking for Aamir Khan.Initially,she wondered why she was getting calls from strangers. She realised what was happening only after she saw her number in the film still.” When contacted, Aamir said, “I really regret the inconvenience caused to the lady whose number was tattooed on my arm. On the day it was published, I received over 900 SMSes regarding my Ghajini look!” The producer of Ghajini, Madhu Varma said, “We will apologise to the lady and offer her a new phone connection.” In the film, Aamir plays a man who loses his memory after every 15 minutes because of which he writes everything that he needs to remember on his body for quick reference.
