He gave the channel ample time for the shooting of two special episodes of "C.I.D." to promote his forthcoming movie "Talaash", releasing Nov 30.

"Film stars usually don't give beyond three to six hours for any film integration... Aamir Khan has given us over three full days for 'C.I.D.' and 'Talaash'," Sneha Rajani, senior executive vice president and business head, Sony, shared on Twitter.

"C.I.D." is one of the longest running TV shows in India, and its theme is in tune with the film's basic plot. Both are thrillers.
