Aamir\'s cousin Mansoor who directed him in his debut film Qayamat se Qayamat Tak, shared his thoughts and made startling revelations in his book &ldquo;One: The Story of the Ultimate Myth&rdquo;.\r\nHe said when he told Aamir that he overacted in the film, he didn\'t take him seriously but when star director Rajamouli said the same, he is accepted that he might have done so. He said &ldquo;Aamir has a great sense of humour. So one day he laughingly tells me, &lsquo;When you told me it was over the top, I said, ok, you are a subtle guy which is why you might have felt that way. But when someone like Rajamouli tells me overacting lag raha hai, I said to myself, Isko bhi lag raha hai toh kiya hi hoga (If he also feels so than it must be)&rsquo;,&rdquo;&nbsp;\r\nRajamouli after watching Lal Singh Chaddha said &ldquo;Aamir, kitna overacting kiya hai.&rdquo;&nbsp;\r\nMansoor Khan in his new book &ldquo;One: The Story of the Ultimate Myth&rdquo;, said he was &ldquo;frank enough&rdquo; to give Aamir his feedback well before others. &ldquo;I liked the script. I think writer Atul Kulkarni did a fine job of it. Yes, Aamir, I believe, went over the top with his expressions. I mean the character is not a jerk, not someone suffering with dyslexia or anything else. He is a bit odd &hellip; but that&rsquo;s about it.\"\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"></div>

Rajini, Kamal\'s new strategy, will Chiru, follow? A couple of years back when Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan\'s films failed at the box office, people started writing them off and gave a call for them to retire. However while Kamal Haasan scored a resounding hit with Vikram teaming with Lokesh Kanagaraj, Rajinikanth scored a hit with Jailer teaming with Nelson Dilip Kumar.\r\nDespite the repeated failures, they stuck to the original stories. Now the question is will Chiranjeevi take the lead from them? Sakthi Velan., a Tamil distributor and producer says \"Both the films were record-shattering hits and the senior stars proved that they are still in the reckoning. They always had a mass following but they needed the right script. Once they found the right one, they struck a chord with the masses and fans alike to deliver money-spinners,\"\r\nKamal Haasan\'s Vikram had Fahadh Faasil, Vijay Sethupathi while Rajini\'s Jailer had Mohan Lal, Jackie Shroff, Shiva Rajkumar in cameos. Sakthi Velan said&nbsp; \"It is true that both Rajnikanth and Kamal Hassan allowed more screen space to other language actors in their respective films but in their own way. The Kamal film &lsquo;Vikram&rsquo; gave equal enough space to Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil and Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi whose performances were major attractions of the film and helped the story to move forward. Hence it carried a good report and also set the box office on fire,\"\r\nHe continued \"Even \'Jailer\' boasted of superstars like Mohan Lal, Shivaraj Kumar and Jackie Shroff but their immense talent wasn&rsquo;t properly utilized. Eventually, it turned out to be a one-man show of Rajinikanth till the end. Invariably, it carried a mixed report but it has all possibility to surpass Vikram box office collections in the days to come,\"\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"></div>

Suresh Babu on rise in theatre footfalls. The release of Gadar 2, OMG 2, and Jailer witnessed a rise in footfalls in theatres. However, star producer Suresh Babu speaking to scribes, tried to expose the myth behind the increase in theatre footfalls.\r\nHe said \"Frankly, the rise in footfalls at theatres is just a myth since people are coming to theatres only to watch good films and thumbing down bad ones. We haven&rsquo;t observed any marked rise in the percentage of footfalls as we keep track of such things every day. However, films like &lsquo;Jailer&rsquo;, &lsquo;Gadar 2&rsquo; and \'OMG 2&rsquo; have rocked the box office in Telugu states and revived our hopes to make up for our losses in theatres after poor collections during summers this year.\"\r\nSharing his views on the increase in ticket rates, Suresh Babu said \"This has been a debatable issue for quite some time. Personally, I think there should be an upper limit and flexibility given to the theatres to alter rates over the week. For instance, we can sell a ticket for Rs 250 on weekends and are allowed to sell for Rs 150 or less on weekdays. People after a hard day\'s work, like to chill out in a theatre. They should be given the best of food, a great film-viewing experience, and a swanky ambiance to help them to relax and enjoy. I would prefer viewers to choose their place and price.\"\r\nOn doing films with his sons Rana and Abhiram, he said \" I am looking for exciting writers and directors so it is bound to take some time to commence production since we have a legacy to live up to. I am planning films with Rana and Abhiram and discussions are underway.\"\r\n&nbsp;
