Yellamma is directed by Venu Yeldandi, best known for Balagam , a film widely appreciated for its rooted storytelling and emotional depth.

Aamir Khan sheds 18 kilos for his cameo in Happy Patel: “New diet is working like magic for me”

Image
Aamir Khan, who will next be seen in a comic avatar in  Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos , has lost oodles of weight. “Eighteen kilos, actually,” Aamir laughed as this writer gasped. “It happened by default. The new diet I am following for health reasons is working like magic for me.” Aamir’s dietary regimen eventuated after he started getting recurring migraine headaches. “I undertook the diet for the migraines. It is an anti-inflammatory diet. I not only lost eighteen kgs, my migraines have also reduced considerably.” Aamir is all set to be seen this Friday with his nephew Imran Khan in  Happy Patel , which is a comeback of sorts for Imran. “It is not a proper comeback for Imran. Both Imran and I have cameo roles. I haven’t done too many comedy roles in my career, although people still remember Andaz Apna Apna ,” he said.
