Aamir Khan is obsessed with perfection and innovation even when it comes to his commercials. In an upcoming advertisement, Aamir will be playing a puppet artist or ventriloquist.While Aamir is shown operating the puppet, in actuality it is legendary ventriloquist Ramdas Pathaye who is pulling the strings behind the scene. Aamir and Ramdas Pathaye had met earlier when Aamir was a young boy and a fan of Doordarshan’s show Meri Bhi Suno on which Ramdas operated puppets.
As a young boy, Aamir was fascinated and used to take notes from the show. He was delighted when he met the ventriloquist in person many years ago.When Khan met Pathaye, he told he was delighted to meet him again.Pathaye was surprised and then Aamir recalled the episode when he had met him as a child. Pathaye was amazed at his fantastic memory. For the ad, Pathaye told Aamir to observe him operating puppets and pick up his body language to create a bond between the puppet and him. The ad will be aired in a few weeks.
In the recent past, Aamir has played a biker in a video game who transforms into a real person in the Coca Cola ad, he has played a TV-obsessed husband whose life has been simplified by Tata Sky, dressed up as a woman for another Tata Sky ad and played a Sardar in an ad for Coca Cola.It is believed that Aamir is deeply involved in the making of his ads which is why his commercials have proper dialogues. Aamir will be sporting a ‘70s look replete with a long-haired wig in the new commercial.
