'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' melts 'differences' between Aamir, Bachchan

Overwhelmed by the response to his recently released film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na from critics and masses alike including screen icon Amitabh Bachchan , actor-producer-director Aamir Khan seems to have "mended fences" with Big B.

In his recent blog post after release of 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na', Aamir said, "We (the cast and crew) were on a live dial on Aaj Tak (for the film promotion) and the caller was Amitji! You can imagine our surprise. We almost fell off our chairs in shock. He had such kind words to say about the film and the cast and crew, which was extremely encouraging. Amitji is not only the biggest star that Hindi cinema has ever seen but an extremely graceful and generous human being."

Bachchan was irked by Aamir's unsolicited comments last year about Black which fetched the megastar a national award.

Aamir had reportedly termed the film as "insensitive" and "manipulative" and had said that the performances of the actors were "over the top".

Bachchan, who took the comments very personally, said, "I cannot comment whether my performance was towering or not. But Aamir may be right on the other ...may be the performances did go 'over the top' of his head."

However, Aamir later clarified that his observations were towards the film and the way it was handled and not towards any of the actors.

He wrote on his blog that he had the right of opinion as an audience and said that he was critical of 'Black' for depicting a child with severe difficulties as being ill treated instead of being treated with love, care and understanding.
