Academy Award-winning Argentine music composer Gustavo Santaolalla is in town working on Kiran Rao's Dhobhi
Ghaat. The Brokeback Mountain composer was at the receiving end of some warm hospitality by Aamir Khan who's
making sure his guest doesn't feel homesick.
Apart from spending time with Gustavo, Khan also cancelled all his work commitments yesterday and hosted a football
match screening at his house. The actor sent out text messages to his staff ordering them to leave work and head to his
pad to watch the Korea vs Argentina match.
A source close to the actor-producer reveals, "When it comes to work, Aamir never cancels or skips his meetings. In
fact, his whole schedule is planned a day in advance. But he made an exception for his Argentine guest. And since
Gustavo's country was playing, Aamir decided to organise a match screening and cheer for Argentina."
According to the source, Aamir was to sit in on the subtitling of Peepli Live, but when Gustavo expressed a desire to
watch the match, he cancelled all his appointments for the day. "AK got a huge screen with lots of popcorn and starters.
He wanted to create a party atmosphere and called all his staff to leave their work and attend the screening."
