The villagers of Bhadwai want Aamir Khan to start an acting school for their bachchas. The actor just might... you never know!

The villagers of Bhadwai, where Aamir Khan's Peepli [Live] was shot, want the actor-producer to start an acting school for their children. The request has been forwarded to Mahmood Farooqui, co-director of PL.

Before filming in the village, Mahmood had made a 15-minute short film along with Raghubir Yadav and a few other members of the cast on a handycam. He had then shown it to the sarpanch of Bhadwai and the rest of the villagers assuring them that they would shoot Peepli [Live] in the most non-invasive way possible.

When the Sarpanch and other villagers attended the music release of Peepli [Live], they realised the scope of the film industry. They were keen that their village's children now get introduced to the basics of filmmaking.

A source says, "The villagers' request surprised Aamir. However, he realised their request was genuine and that the children were keen on learning the nuances of film making."

He then got in touch with Mahmood, who's in charge of taking the request forward. Farooqui confirms, "Yes, Aamir Khan Productions has informed me of this request. We would love to have an acting school for the kids. I will definitely work on this with them."
