MUMBAI: Aamir Khan, the versatile actor who is always busy experimenting with his films, has taken a bold move of appearing in the nude – albeit ‘covered’ up appropriately – for the poster of his upcoming film PK, the first for any Bollywood film.
The unique poster has left all his fans quite excited (pun intended!) for the new movie.The actor has bared it all with just a stereo system to cover his front.
Filmmaker Karan Johar tweeted: “Intriguing and brilliant first look of the much-awaited Raju Hiranis #PK.”
“aamir_khan what a first look, gotta keep looking to figure ke yeh #PK hai kya,” tweeted Kunal Kohli.
Aamir’s ‘PK’ has him playing an alien – which somewhat explains the first poster of the film. The actor has in the past grown a handle bar mustache, sculpted 8 pack abs – all for the sake of his role in respective films. But this time round, Aamir has surpassed his own standards. And it’s refreshing to see a leading actor – who has such a huge fan following – take such a risk at the peak of his career.
‘PK’ will also be promoted in a unique way. Talking standees will be used to build up interest in the Rajkumar Hirani directorial.
The standees, which will be kept in theaters, have the actor’s photo and his voice installed in them. When you go close to it, Aamir will talk back to you.
“It is for the first time any Bollywood film will have a talking standee. It adds an interesting element to a static marketing tool,” a spokesperson of the film said in a statement.
PK also stars Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput. It’s set to release on December 19.
