Aamir to work with Chitra 
Aamir Khan seems to be making it a habit working with up and coming actresses. After being paired opposite Jiah Khan in Ghajini, he will now be acting opposite Chitrangada Singh in the hush-hush project Delhi Belly. Chitrangada is very excited about the new project. "Right now all I can say is that I’m waiting for the script. I never expected such wonderful things to happen after my decision to return to films," she said. The actress is just back from shooting Onir’s Sorry Bhai in Mauritius. Delhi Belly is a Delhi-based sex comedy that will feature Aamir in a pivotal role. Director Abhinay Deol, who had earlier shot an ad with Chitrangda, had his heart set on casting her in his first feature film.
After a stellar performance in Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and Kal Yesterday And Tomorrow, Chitrangada quit the film industry because she felt betrayed. But now she is back for good. The Sudhir Mishra discovery is increasingly being seen as the new age Smita Patil. "It’s uncanny. But Sudhir would say so during the making of Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and now during Sorry Bhai, Shabana Azmi kept saying the same. I believe Shabanaji and Smitaji were close friends. In a way, Shabanaji has been my only idol."
"When I set out to do my first film, my only reference was Shabanaji. To work with her so early in my career was a little daunting. She plays my prospective mother-in-law in Sorry Bhai and I do have some important emotional scenes with her. She turned out to be very encouraging and nurturing. She brings out the best in you and raises your performance level without even making you realise she’s doing it. She carries a scene beyond the written word."
