Besides being the stellar actor that he is, Aamir Khan has always been appreciated for his razor-sharp brains and also his marketing strategies which he adopts on or before the release of his films. Just before the release of his film âGhajini', he hit upon a brainwave and made all the ushers of the theatres to have their haircut/ hairstyle a la âGhajini', in order to increase the brand recall of the film. Yet another example can be cited from his film â3 Idiots', wherein Aamir Khan struck upon an autorickshaws campaign, wherein there were stickers that read, âCapacity: 3 Idiots'!

Well, speaking of autorickshaws and stickers, not many know that Aamir Khan HIMSELF went out n the streets and spoke personally to the autorickshaw drivers by introducing himself as the hero of âQayamat Se Qayamat Tak' (QSQT). Not just that, he also tried to convince many autorickshaw drivers to allow him to put up the promo stickers of his film âQSQT'! And when the film released, it not just created a havoc at the box-office, but also gave Bollywood its very own true-blue chocolate hero in the form of Aamir Khan.
