Quite the family man, Aamir Khan is busy keeping his promise to his mother, Zeenat Hussain. He had recently told her he would accompany her on a pilgrimage to Mecca.

So, in between returning from the hectic Chicago schedule of Dhoom 3 on Thursday and attending the music launch of Talaash, his upcoming coproduction with Excel Entertainment, the actor, like a dutiful son, left for the 14-day holy trip to Mecca on Friday evening, along with his mom, eight other family members and a Maulana. And, he left no stone unturned to make the Haj pilgrimage a memorable one.

We've learnt he has booked the tour from Byculla's Al Khalid Tours and Travels that specialises in providing luxurious Haj and Umrah packages. He has chosen the best available option - the Platinum package, which implies he and his family will stay at hotels closest to the sacred sanctuaries with twin-sharing room (costing Rs 6.65 lakh; break-up Rs 85,000 plus $10,300) as the likely option.

The group will stay at Hotel Al Massa in Mecca and Hotel Elaf Taiba in Medina; both four-star hotels that are at a walking distance from the holy spots and are known to cater to the most discerning of international travellers. One of the officials at the tour office refused to divulge further details saying, "Aamir is lucky to get a chance to embark on Haj with his mother. This will be his first Haj trip."

While Aamir and group left Mumbai by the 6.30 pm direct flight of Saudi Airlines on Friday, they will board the flight back to maximum city from Jeddah Airport on November 3.

Mar 11: The shooting of Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai has been completed, and the film will now release on schedule.

If one recalls, the film went on the floors in the first week of November 2019 and was supposed to be Salman’s fastest completed film. However, the movie faced a variety of roadblocks — It was first to be wrapped in the first week of February, “But Salman went off to his Panvel farmhouse after the release of Dabangg 3 and spent a while there ushering in his birthday,” a source reveals.

“Then, the extension of the show Bigg Boss 13 by five weeks also turned out to be another speed breaker. Then, Salman wanted to make sure that the film was being made as good as what his audiences wanted on Eid. He made sure that his director Prabhudeva got what he wanted from the performers and didn’t want to rush him.

"Additionally, the Azerbaijan schedule of the film also got cancelled as Salman did not want to take any chances with the cast and crew with the lurking Covid 19, and rescheduled the shoot in India. This is now complete, barring any patchwork that might emerge later,” our source adds.

Radhe is slated to be an Eid release, which will clash with Akshay Kumar’s Laxmmi Bomb.
