Aamir, Big B Tweet talk

By Raghavendra

All of us who grew up on a heavy dose of Bollywood will die for this one to happen. I know I will for sure. If current trends are to go by, Twitter can perhaps champion this all by itself and stake its claim for getting two of the most talented actors in this era to come together for the first time.

We all know how meticulous Aamir Khan can be when it comes to movie-making. He devours a character during the entire making of a film and undergoes a physical transformation of sorts for that tenure.  And then there is our very own Big B whom I would fondly like to call the first citizen of Bollywood. While Big B and Shah Rukh's product endorsement blitzkriegs are well-known, our perfectionist a.k.a Aamir Khan is extra cautious even in picking the brands that he endorses. This man really walks the talk. For instance, he uses a Samsung phone, a brand he endorses.

Big B finally convinced Aamir to hop on to Twitter as a means to build a rapport with his fans. After all, it is also the in-thing nowadays. It took a bit of thinking, but Aamir finally got on to the Twitter bandwagon. Understandably, he follows Big B (besides Salman, Imran and Karan Johar) and the tweet exchanges between these two Bollywood icons are always a pleasure read.

A huge fan of both these personalities, I can't help but imagine a time when they will finally come together for a film, thanks to the bond that is now being cemented by Twitter. As a movie buff I have always envisioned a Shawshank Redemption-like script starring Big B and Aamir. What a delight that would be? The original version had Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, two powerhouses of acting.

Conversations between the two range from the FIFA World Cup to Rafael Nadal. Aamir's respect for Big B became evident when he actually took to the latter's suggestion and joined Twitter. He in fact began tweeting with a classic Urdu line as a mark of respect for Big B. As I see both these icons exchange notes on Twitter, I can't help but dream of a film with both in it. Twitter is indeed turning out to be one Bollywood bonding tool.

Here are some excerpts from Big B's and Aamir's conversations on Twitter -
