Hanks, whose new film &#39;Cloud Atlas&#39; is releasing in Indian theatres Oct 26, read about Aamir in the Sep 10 issue of the prestigious Time magazine, in which he was positioned as India&#39;s &#39;first superstar-activist&#39;. <img alt="Aamir Khan" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/oct/Aamir-Khan.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 504px; " /> &quot;I really admire the work that Aamir Khan is doing (in India). Very few celebrities take the initiative of coming forward to change the society and he has done a remarkable job,&quot; Hanks said in a statement. Aamir awakened several television viewers with his small screen debut, &#39;Satyamev Jayate&#39;, a show through which he brought several social issues like female foeticide and dowry to the fore, backed by statistics. Hanks feels it is all a part of giving back to the people, who give artists so much love. <img alt="Tom Hanks" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/sep/Tom-Hanks_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 432px; " /> &quot;It&#39;s the &#39;giving-back&#39; that&#39;s tough. Aamir seems to understand the influencing power of being a celebrity and is using it to act as a catalyst for change in society, something that definitely deserves both appreciation and support from all quarters,&quot; said Hanks. The &#39;Forrest Gump&#39; actor will feature with Halle Berry and Hugh Grant in &#39;Cloud Atlas&#39;, co-directed by Lana Wachowski, Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer.
