A court in Gujarat on Friday issued bailable warrants against Bollywood actor
Aamir Khan and four others for filming Chinkara, an animal protected under the
Wildlife Act, in the superhit Bollywood movie Lagaan.
Among the four others is the film's director Ashutosh Gowariker.
Commercial shooting of Chinkara is banned under the Wildlife (Protection) Act.
A Chinkara, a Schedule I animal under the Act, was filmed in the 2002 superhit
movie which was shot in Kutch district of Gujarat.
The Chief Judicial Magistrate of Bhuj asked all the five to appear before it on
April 15.
The Gujarat Forest Department had filed an FIR in the court against Aamir and
all the others.
Meanwhile, the righteous Khan will run in the Olympic torch relay next month
and if you thought it had anything to do with his interest in sports, think
again.
Actor and Coca Cola brand ambassador, Aamir Khan, will be doing the honours
only because the soft drink company is the worldwide partner for the Olympics.
However, soon enough the topic moved to something more personal - his
much-debated new hair-do.
"I cut my hair because the actor in the Tamil version of Ghajini, Surya also
cut it the same way," clarifies Aamir.
The haircut obviously brought back school boy memories for the actor for he
says, "When I was a child I was teased for my big ears and now because of my new
hair cut, my ears seem big again."
Seems like the hair-raising tales of Aamir Khan will never end..
