Aamir Khan -Bollywood’s best actor ???

And when Aamir Khan’s nephew Imran makes this statement, you can have no doubts as to who he is referring to…

Imran Khan is taller at 5′11, and he’s got a leaner, softer and dreamier look. Whereas Aamir Khan, his famous uncle, well if you’ve seen him lately, gives every indication of going the Mike Tyson way.

He’s raw energy and all chunky, rippling muscle; very intense, yet without Iron Mike’s crazy killer expression.

But Aamir has got into the skin of a role. He’s in character for his new action film Ghajini.

And as nephew Imran, a keen follower of the Aamir Khan method of acting, puts it, “Maamu doesn’t act, he understands the character, gets a grasp on what he’s supposed to do, and then just flows.”

Aamir has produced Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, but he’s not acting in it, and nor is he launching Imran.

“If I wanted to present Imran with anything, I’d give him a car, not a film,” says Aamir with a touch of exasperation.

But, yes, Aamir is very interested in how Imran’s role is shaping up.

He was generous enough to share Imran’s first photograph with his fans on his blog recently. Till then, nobody outside Bollywood had seen his nephew.
