Aamir Khan to visit China ahead of Modi's visit

Bollywood star Aamir Khan will be in Beijing early next week to attend the premiere of the Chinese version of "PK".

His trip comes just two days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit during which the two countries are set to firm up their ties for joint production. Aamir, 49, who is the most popular Indian film actor in China thanks to the success of "3 Idiots", will visit Beijing and Shanghai on May 11 and 12 for the premiere with director Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, sources here told PTI.

The film will release in over 3000 screens in China on May 22. It would be Aamir's first trip to the country and it is expected that "PK" will replicate the success of "3 Idiots".

Famous Chinese comedian actor Wang Baoqiang has rendered his voice for Aamir's alien character in the movie to highlight the comic element. Aamir's "PK" co-star Anushka Sharma visited Beijing recently to attend the premiere of her film "NH10" at the Beijing Film festival.
