Aamir Khan fires salvo at B'bay Velvet
Aamir took a dig at one of the makers of Bombay Velvet, Madhu Mantena, when the two bumped into each other at Kangana Ranaut's birthday party on Sunday. He walked up to Mantena and quipped, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "Kya bhai, aaj kal toh tum bade star ban gaye ho. Aur hum to purane actor hokar rahe gaye." Those standing close by had no trouble figuring out what he meant.
The two had been good friends during the Ghajini days. Mantena had produced this Aamir-starrer which went on to become one of the biggest grossers.
Says an eyewitness to the exchange, "amir was indirectly taking a potshot at Madhu. He sounded really ticked off, Madhu didn't know which way to look."
When contacted, Mantena said, "Aamir and I did chat up at Kangana's party but only about his TV show, Satyamev Jayate."
