Aamir Khan [follow him on facebook] is set to leave for Toronto with wife Kiran Rao for the world premiere of their film Dhobi Ghat at Toronto International Film Festival on September 10. The film headlines Khan and Prateik Babbar. "Getting ready to leave for Toronto. 1st screening of Dhobi Ghat on 10th Sept at the festival. Too many nervous days too close together," said Aamir on his Facebook account. He has decided the film's release month but not the date.
"We are thinking of February 2011 for DHOBI GHAT. Not locked the final date yet," Aamir told Bollywood Hungama. The film, which is Kiran Rao's directorial debut, is set in the Mumbai Monsoons. Cameron Bailey, director TIFF, personally selected the film for special screening at the festival during his India visit. This is how he describes the film:
Aamir Khan plays Arun, a brooding painter, who is introduced at a gallery launch of his work. Uninterested in small talk, he strikes up a flirtation with Shai, an Indian American woman visiting her family in the city. The next morning, awkwardness descends and he practically shoves her out the door. But, in the way of the Maximum City, Shai and Arun find themselves inextricably linked. They share a laundry man, a dhobi, who picks up and delivers their clothes. One of the millions of workers who keep Mumbai humming, Zohaib (Prateik Babbar) maintains a friendly but formal relationship with Arun. Shai, however, becomes fascinated with Zohaib and wants to follow him to the dhobi ghat, the city's sprawling laundry district, where she hopes to indulge her photography hobby by capturing him at work. The film will have three screenings during the festival on September 10, 11 and 18.
