Just a few days before its release, A.R. Murugadoss’s Ghajini (Hindi) starring Aamir Khan is in the news, again for the wrong reasons. Just a few weeks ago, Aamir Khan ended up inadvertently publicizing a doctor’s phone number through the film’s publicity material showcasing his sculpted physique full of bizarre tattoos; one of them being a mobile phone number. Just a month after appeasing her with profound apologies, a new instrument and new number, the method actor is facing a similar trouble again!
One more number tattooed on Khan’s muscled physique turned out to be real. The 50-year-old (Mumbai-based) industrialist to whom it belongs has been harassed by “nonsense calls”. The gentleman suffers from severe hypertension and all these “nonsense calls” he has been getting of late have worsened his condition further. He has sent a legal notice to the actor and production company seeking compensation for the “mental pressure” the incident caused and has also sought immediate removal of his number from the publicity material. Apparently Mr. Singh has been using this cell phone number for his business contacts and is not ready to surrender it or change it.
Unfortunately, the assistant director or whoever is responsible for picking dummy phone numbers had been too careless. The crew could have bought a few SIM cards and used those numbers for the tattoos. That way, no one would have gotten into trouble. Ah, yes! If the crew decides to use those numbers, then they will have to bear the brunt of prank calls!
