Anxious Aamir Khan Organises 6 AM Screening Of Dangal For Himself!

While the rest of Bollywood was busy slumbering after an awards night, Aamir Khan woke up at 5 AM and drove to the home of Nitesh Tiwari, the director of Dangal.

They then picked up Satyajit Pande, the film's Director of Photography and two other close aides of Aamir and drove straight to PVR Juhu.

Aamir had organised a special screening of the film because he did not want to wait till the premiere to see the magnum opus on the big screen. He has spent the past two years immersed in Dangal and now he wanted to see the final product on the silver screen. No, he could not wait any longer.

Ravi Sibal, General Manager of PVR Juhu, was also present there with them.

Sakshi Tanwar and the debutantes of the film, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra who play his onscreen daughters, were presumably still in bed when Aamir drove back home at 8.45 AM.

Before leaving, Aamir asked Ravi, "How much do you think it will make on its first day?"

To which Ravi replied confidently, "Rs 30 crore. I did not realise when the two hours went by. This will be the film of the year."

Aamir has gone all out to promote the film, including singing and rapping a special version of Dhaakad (Aamir Khan Sings, Raps And Dances In The Latest Version of Dhaakad, Dec 18).

The superstar had even made an appearance on Koffee With Karan to promote the film. He had got candid about his anxiety too and said: "Last three weeks before a film,  I can't sleep at all. I need people around me. I call Jaggu, he stays in my building. I have tested the film by showing it to 500 people till now. I am nervous. But until people see it, I won't relax."

It looks like Aamir won’t sleep a wink for the next three days. We are willing to bet our last shirt on that!
