Aamir Khan was in Sikkim on Valentines Day. No, it wasnt a simple vacation that took him there. The actor has been shooting the theme song for his forthcoming TV show across the country and thats also the reason that took him to Sikkim. Accompanying Aamir on the shoot is one of the countrys most reputed admen, Ram Madhvani. For those not in the know, Ram won a bronze and a silver lion at Cannes in 2006 for a commercial. His debut feature film, 'Lets Talk', premiered at the Locarno Film Festival.

Ram is directing the theme song for the TV show though its still not clear as to who will be directing it. Says a source, "Shooting for the video of the theme song began in Srinagar.Then, the unit went to Delhi and subsequently, they went to Jodhpur. The next stop was Gangtok. On Thursday morning, Aamir is supposed to leave for Vadodara which is the last destination for the shoot. Ram will be returning to Mumbai on February 21."

"On Tuesday morning, Aamir went to Gangtoks Rumtek. On Wednesday, Aamir visited various locations in and around Gangtok," the source adds. Music for this programme, which is being described as a bold non-fiction show that has never been attempted before on Indian television, has been composed by Ram Sampath who has previously worked with Aamir in 'Delhi Belly'.

"Ram has composed the theme song that is now being shot. Shooting for the programme had begun on the sets in Mumbai. But a fire broke out. Thankfully, no one was injured.Things are back on track now and shooting is supposed to resume soon," says the source. Meanwhile, there was a buzz that Aamir had gone for a short visit to north Bengal as well during his Sikkim tour.

Says Dr Saumitra Mohan, the district magistrate and collector of Darjeeling, "I too have heard that Aamir Khan is supposed to come to Darjeeeling. But I dont have any official intimation on that. We are trying to promote Darjeeling as a shooting destination and would love to welcome him if he wants to shoot here. Incidentally, we have conceived a directors meet in Darjeeling. Filmmakers from Tollywood and Bollywood will be invited to come down for this event.The dates for this meet hasnt been finalized as yet."
