Actor Aamir Khan's production venture 'Delhi Belly' has gone way over budget...
One would think that Delhi Belly starring Imran Khan, Veer Das and Kunal wouldn't be a very expensive venture. However, Aamir Khan insists that movie will cost as much as a whopping Rs. 30 crores. When we caught up with the actor, he told us, "The budget has gone way overboard. But that happens with every movie we produce, be it Lagaan, Dhobi Ghaat, Peepli Live, or even Delhi Belly. We thought 'Delhi Belly' would be around 20 crores. Now, I see it easily costing us about 30!"
Aamir cites creative decisions as the reason for this. "I'm more of a creative person than a business person. So I tend to spend more once the creativity is justified, rather than curb creativity to stick to a limited spend."
When asked if the delay has caused an up in the spends, Aamir is quick to say, "Not at all. There was no re-shooting done. Yes, there has been a delay, but that has just affected the release date of the movie, and not the cost."
The delay in releasing Delhi Belly Aamir attributes to his busy schedule.
