It is learnt that Aamir Khan personally checked out the arrangements for the 3 Idiots' premiere, to be held on December 23 at a city multiplex. Buzz is that he also asked to check out the 'competition'u00a0-- Avatar's promo. Is the actor worried that Avatar (releases Dec 18) might affect his film's run at the B-O?u00a0 Or is the actor simply thinking far ahead and planning to make a 3-D flick sometime soon?



A source present when the actor visited the multiplex reveals, "Aamir did come to the multiplex. It is a known fact that he is a stickler for perfection and was there to check the arrangements being made for the premiere. But it is a common practice with the bigger stars. Even Mr Bachchan came to the multiplex four to five times before Paa's premiere to check the place out." When asked if Aamir checked out the promo of Avatar, the source insists, "He did not."

It's been a year since Aamir Khan's last film (as an actor) Ghajini released. His next, 3 Idiots is due to release December 25 and Aamir is leaving no stone unturned to ensure the film gets the perfect opening.

Of course, 3 Idiots is one of the most anticipated films of the year. And we're sure Aamir isn't at all worried about his film's prospects at the B-O vis-u00c3u00a0-vis a clash with Avatar, a flick that is by most accounts, one of the costliest in Hollywood. The H-Town flick releases with roughly around 700 prints.

And with the good run that English blockbuster movies are enjoying (2012 did very well in India), is it enough cause for Aamir to be concerned? Or was it just a avid moviegoer's curiosity? Let's wait and see.
Aamir Khan's spokesperson did not revert back.
