*Aamir presents 'Jaane Tu...' audio CD to Shammi Kapoor*

Mumbai (PTI): Bollywood actor-filmmaker Aamir Khan on Tuesday said that he
wanted his production house to be associated with sensible, entertaining
cinema just like the films he acts in.

"I am very particular about what goes in my name. 'Jaane Tu...Ya na jaane'
is the first film as a producer which I am not acting in. But, I am happy
with the way it was shaped," Aamir told reporters outside the residence of
veteran actor Shammi Kapoor.

Aamir along with the cast and crew of his film and family members visited
Shammi Kapoor to present him the first audio CD of his film's music.

"Shammi uncle is my lucky mascot. Whenever I have started something new, I
have sought his blessings ... be it my first film as an actor or as a
director," he said.

"Jaane Tu..." marks the debut of my nephew Imran Khan and hence Shammi
uncle's blessings are important," he said.

Regarding the movie's music, Aamir said A R Rehman's score is "very youthful
and fresh".

Responding to questions on how he chose to launch his nephew, Aamir said he
did not believe in launches. "Films are important. Whoever suits the
characters should be taken. Abbas Tyrewala narrated the script to me and I
liked it. He had already screentested Imran and had decided to sign him.
'Jaane Tu...' was not designed to launch Imran," he said.

"I have to be convinced about the film as a producer. I would not like Imran
to do a film which I didn't like," he said.
Aamir said his biggest contribution as producer has been bringing his cousin
filmmaker Mansoor Khan on board to oversee the production of the film. "We
are all hoping that he will take to direction again," he said.
