Actor Aamir Khan is currently in Kerala for the promo shoot of Bharat Dharshan — a project being planned by his own production house. He apparently got super-excited on seeing the famous snake boat used during the boat races in Pulinkunnu in Alapuzha.

Aamir even got into one of those boats when he saw a couple of school children do the same.

The actor also examined the Chinese fishing nets in Fort Kochi near Kochi, which are in use for the last 500 years, and tried his hand at operating them, sources said. News that Aamir was in town spread like and locals gathered in huge numbers to see the actor. Aamir was apparently taken aback by the huge crowd gathered there because he didn’t expect it at all. A source from there said, “Aamir was pleasantly surprised when he saw a huge crowd gathered to just meet him. He shot for sometime at the Alapuzha beach and after that played cricket with the kids as well. He was gracious enough to oblige people with autographs and pictures. He even expressed his interest in doing a Malayalam film and said he loved Kerala.”

Aamir also apparently met a couple of engineering college students and interacted with them briefly. He was extremely surprised to see an established engineering college in a small town and told the students that if that if he could help them in any way, in the future, he would be glad to do so, said the source.
