MUMBAI - Aamir Khan made 24 friends during his two-week promotional tour across the country and has invited them all to attend the premiere of his film “3 Idiots” here Wednesday.

Wherever I went, I made friends and I have invited them. All of them will surely come to the premiere, said Aamir told reporters at Taj Lands End here.

There are 24 people whom I have invited personally. They are those people whom I met in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Punjab. They are my guests, said Aamir.

During his trip, only one girl recognised Aamir through his disguise in Tamil Nadu.

“In Tamil Nadu, a girl could recognise me through my disguise and she tried convincing her parents that I was Aamir. They didn’t know that my security people were standing behind them in plain clothes. They started approaching me to confirm, but I called the security to stop them. The security people came and diverted their way, but they confirmed to the family that I was Aamir and would speak to them later,” said Aamir.

Asked if she was invited to the premiere, he said: “No I didn’t invite her because I didn’t speak to her. I have only invited whom I met and made friends with.”

Producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra is making all the arrangements for Aamir’s special guests.

They will stay in Taj Lands End hotel. Rooms have been booked and cars will be there at their service, said Chopra.

Releasing Friday, the film is directed by Rajkumar Hirani and also stars Kareena Kapoor and Sharman Joshi and R. Madhavan.

Aamir wasn’t sure whether Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are invited for the premiere show, but Chopra confirmed their presence saying: I have invited them and they have confirmed that they will come.”
