Aamir Khan ousted Katrina Kaif RAJNEETI trailer from 3 IDIOTS??

Heard this?? The industry is abuzz that it was none other than Aamir Khan, the perfectionist super star of bollywood playing the main lead in Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘3 Idiots’ opposite Kareena Kapoor, who caused the ouster of the trailer of Katrina Kaif starrer ‘Rajneeti’ from the interval slot of ‘3 Idiots’.
Sources close to Aamir Khan say that he never likes to share the limelight with anyone else be it an individual or trailer of Prakash Jha’s ‘Rajneeti’. In this case, Aamir Khan felt that as ‘Rajneeti’ starred latest heartthrobs Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor, it would take the focus away from ‘3 Idiots,’ and so it was better to remove the trailer altogether from interval slot.
Earlier, Aamir Khan was only apprehensive but when he saw the reaction of a select gathering at the private preview of ‘3 idiots’ talking about ‘Rajneeti’, he did not waste any time and asked producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra to remove the trailer immediately. R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi also play important roles in ‘3 Idiots’.
The industry watchers are not surprised at Aamir Khan’s behavior towards ‘Rajneeti’ as they point out that it only confirms to his perfectionist nature. Here, its not that Aamir Khan is not sure of ‘3 Idiots’ success or something like that. In fact, its Aamir Khan’s basic nature not to leave any stone unturned in any venture that he undertakes, is at play in the ouster of ‘Rajneeti’s trailer.
Another theory doing the rounds in the industry is that it was fickle nature of producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra that had caused the removal of Prakash Jha’s ‘Rajneeti’ from ‘3 Idiots’ interval slot.
The second theory takes its credence from the fact that Prakash Jha and Vidhu Vinod Chopra were classmates at FTII, and since then have known each other. But Jha accused Vidhu of being like this from the very beginning. In fact, Jha says that Vidhu would say one thing at one point of time and then would change it without any reason or rhyme.
However, the overseas prints of ‘3 Idiots’, which have already been sent, will continue to show the trailer of ‘Rajneeti’, as the removal from them is difficult. But the prints of ‘3 Idiots’, which are being sent now (mainly in India), will not have ‘Rajneeti’ trailer for interval slot.
‘Rajneeti’ stars Ajay Devgn, Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor. Katrina Kaif plays the character of a deglamourized politician (modeled on Sonia Gandhi), while Ranbir Kapoor plays the part of a young politician. It has been directed by Prakash Jha of ‘Gangajal’ fame.
