Estranged brothers Aamir and Faisal Khan have proved that blood is indeed thicker than water. After working toward rebuilding their relationship, the brothers have now patched up. Forgetting the ugliness of the past, the younger brother has now begun attending office at Aamir Khan Productions.
Says a source, "Faisal has been going daily to Aamir Khan Productions. He is keen to learn the ropes of filmmaking and what better place than at Aamir's office? He has evinced interest in turning director and has even worked on a screenplay for a commercial flick. He wants to imbibe the various aspects of production work before he takes the plunge."
The thaw begins...
About three months back, the first signs of the Khan brothers' reconciliation were evident when Aamir was shooting for Rajkumar Hirani's 3 Idiots. Faisal would drop on the sets to catch up with his elder brother. Buzz was that the two along with the rest of the cast and crew would also enjoy a game of carrom in between shots.
The source adds, "Whatever may have happened in the past, the two are slowly and gradually on their own, doing their bit for a reconciliation. No one wants to talk about it but both are letting each other be and willing to extend a helping hand."
