The perfectionist and GOD of cricket Sachin Tendulkar dressed up as a "Banarasi Babu" to promote Bollywood's perfectionist Aamir Khan's upcoming movie "3 Idiots".

Chewing paan and riding a rickshaw, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan turned Banarasi babu to promote 3 Idiots as he made his first stop in the holy city. The 44-year-old actor has put on a disappearing act and is on a seven-city tour to promote the film. Aamir reached Varanasi on Friday and traveled through the narrow lanes of the old city to search his mother, Zeenat's birthplace in Teliyanala area, near the Prahlad Ghat at the banks of river Ganga. Wearing a simple shirt, his face covered with a muffler, Aamir hid himself in old sunglasses. He stayed in the city for three days in the disguise of an old man. The morning before leaving the city, Aamir reached the Teliyanala mohalla in the Kotwali area to visit his mother's birthplace Khwaja Manzil, which is in a dilapidated condition. "Was in your amazing city. It was a very emotional experience for me," Aamir told PTI before leaving for another destination. The rickshaw-puller Ramlakhan Paswan, who drove the actor through the bylanes of the city, said, "Aamir got really emotional when he found the birth place of his mother." "When Aamir reached his mother's birth place he was chewing paan and his mouth was full of it. He was sporting a white beard so no one could identify him," Paswan said. "He suddenly revealed his identity and asked the people in Bhojpuri, Ka Guru ee Banaras hau, Aamir Khan ke na pahachan pailen (Don't you recognise Aamir Khan)." Aamir also visited the famous Dasaswamedh Ghat. The actor has roped in 'Master Blaster' Sachin Tendulkar to endorse the movie, which gave the first clue about his whereabouts. "I don't know anything more than this," Sachin had said as he read out the clue in Hindi, "Kahan jaoon kaise jaoon, itne sawal kaise suljaoon, kabhi to sochoon main udd jaoon. Kabhi sadak pe car bhagaoon, ya chuk chuk gaadi ko aazmaoon, chahe main jaise bhi jaoon, maa ke aangan mein raat bitaoon." This was the first of the seven clues Aamir gave to search him out as he travels to seven cities in disguise, spending one or two days in each. Sachin has already watched the film at Ketnav studios in suburban Bandra along with his wife Anjali and friends including cricketer Ajit Agarkar. 3 Idiots, releasing on December 25, has Aamir playing a 22-year-old engineering student along with actors Madhavan and Sharman Joshi. Kareena Kapoor is the female lead. After leaving Varanasi, the actor is headed to his second destination and clue for it is: Andheri Kaali Raat mein aaunga main, Khooni Darwaja Khatkhataunga main, Aap mujh tak pahunche na par koi baat nahin, Kahin par apni chhap chhod jaunga main.

Mumbai: When cricket meets Bollywood, it's bound to be a blockbuster. In this case, it is Aamir Khan and Sachin Tendulkar. When Aamir approached his dear friend and neighbour Sachin with an interesting proposal concerning his next film, the master blaster immediately agreed. Sources close to Aamir said he had a meeting with Sachin in Anjali's presence to be part of a marketing campaign for Aamir's film which will be unveiled just days before the release. "Sachin didn't hesitate a moment to say yes to the marketing gimmick that requires Aamir to go 'missing', with a prize announced for whoever can locate him. He told Sachin Tendulkar that before he 'disappears', he is going to declare that Sachin will have the first clue about his whereabouts and the press would be encouraged to ask Sachin the question -- 'Where is Aamir?'. Sachin has agreed to be a part of this campaign," says a source. The producer of the film, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, also confirmed that Aamir and Sachin have teamed up for this one. "Honestly, I don't know where Aamir Khan is right now. He told me that I can't keep a secret so he is not going to disclose where he is hiding. He's told his friend Sachin Tendulkar to give out a clue about his first location.Sachin is playing his confidante in this game which makes him the only actor in the world to go missing before his film's release," Chopra says. Kareena Kapoor, who is Aamir's leading lady in the film, laughs, "Aamir hasn't told me how he's going to play the game he has invented, but he has told Sachin about it." If that was not enough, Aamir has also made an 'Aamir Goes Missing' promotional video on a handycam which also features his wife Kiran, that was shot in his own apartment. Meanwhile, Aamir organised a private screening of the film for Sachin, Anjali and their children at Ketnav theatre in Bandra on Friday afternoon. Sachin is one of the first persons to see the final cut of the film apart from the crew.
