SCOOP: Aamir Khan's next with Rajkumar Hirani hits a roadblock; Perfectionist asks for script to be rewritten

-
Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani's reunion on the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic created a stir like never before. And why not? Two stalwarts are teaming up for the third time after cults like 3 Idiots and PK. But we have some disappointing news for all the fans of this duo. According to very reliable sources close to the actor, the Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic has been put on hold. A source informed Bollywood Hungama on anonymity, "Aamir Khan heard the script of Dadasaheb Phalke from Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi.

‘Is that a butterfly fairy?” asks a confused seven-year-old who watches with me, pointing to the screen at the start of this Canadian animated tale. Nope.

The film-makers behind this have really outdone themselves with their tackily revolting anthropomorphic butterflies. Still, if you can get past mutilating a wonder of nature, the movie is a harmless and rather sweet cartoon for under-eights.

Teenager Patrick is a monarch who cannot fly because of an undeveloped wing. His dad was a big hero in the community after pecking out the eye of a fearsome eagle (he paid the price too). But because of his wing, Patrick has been banned from taking part in the annual winter migration south to Mexico. Not this year, says his overprotective mum. (The film ignores the fact that the monarchs make their incredible epic journey only once.) So, Patrick turns stowaway, hiding in the emergency food supply with his chubby caterpillar pal.
