Yes, Aamir can be unrehearsed and spontaneous too, if he wants. He proved it on Friday night with his impulsive decision to have a party and an even more impulsive decision to drink after staying away from alcohol for three years.
Says an invitee at the party, "Yes, Aamir suddenly decided to host a party for all the cast and crew of Delhi Belly at his residence. He drank for the first time in three years. Aamir had champagne and Bacardi.
We were all surprised when he phoned us to come over to his house post midnight on Friday evening. We thought it'd just be a small and brief celebration for the delightful opening of our film. But the celebration went on until morning. We left at 4 am. "
Significantly the film's official director Abhinay Deo was missing from the bash. Even more importantly the Delhi Belly writer Akshat Varma who, to everyone surprise, has been billed as the film's associate director in the credit titles, was openly and wholeheartedly thanked by Aamir for his contribution to Delhi Belly.
Says the invitee, "Yes, Aamir thanked everyone. But it was Akshat whom he thanked first of all. And that was not a coincidence. We could see Aamir wanted to make public Akshat's contribution to Delhi Belly. "
While every member of the Delhi Belly cast had a blast Vijay Raaz who plays an important role was missing. California-returned Akshat Varma's billing as ‘Associate Director' has surprised some in the film industry.
The absence of the Delhi Belly director Abhinay Deo at the celebration party at Aamir's home on Friday night came as no surprise to the film's team. Nor was it a surprise that Deo refused to speak in spite of repeated requests as he was no part of the film's marketing.
Before the release of Delhi Belly Deo told this writer he'd talk after release. But after release he was exceptionally quiet. Apparently Abhinay Deo is in London.
