According to reports in the media, the upcoming Bollywood film has already achieved a casting coup of sorts with the presence of stars like Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor and it is now being said that Aamir Khan is leaving no stone unturned to assure that his film remains very close to real life.

Particular shots of the Reema Kagti venture may be shot in a red light area on the insistence of Aamir Khan.

It is being said that one of the leading ladies in the film will play the role of a sex worker and it is for this purpose that Aamir Khan wants the filming of the scenes involving the sex worker to be completed at the red light area of Kamathipura, a fact which is not going down well with director Reema Kagti and producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar.
