Aamir agrees to watch 'Jalpari'

Despite his hectic schedule in Chicago, Aamir Khan still makes time to check his e-mail. And that's how the actor is said to have found out about filmmaker Nila Madhab Panda's request to him to watch his latest film Jalpari - The Desert Mermaid.

The I Am Kalam director apparently sent an e-mail to Aamir recently with his request, after watching the debut episode of Khan's talk show on television. Incidentally, the film is also based on the subject of female foeticide that happened to be the first topic of discussion on the actor's show.

Aamir wrote back to Nila asking him to send across a copy of his film over the Internet. Nila tells us, "It was really very surprising to find Aamir Khan's reply to my mail. I have never met Aamir, but after seeing his show I decided to write to him." Presently, the filmmaker is trying to figure out a way to show the film to Aamir.
