Full name of Aamir Khan’s PK is Punmiya Kushal

Everything about PK has been a top secret. The makers have decided against the idea of revealing anything about the character that Aamir Khan plays.

However, a leading daily has confirmed through their sources that Aamir’s character in the film is named Punmiya Kushal (full form of PK). 

Unusual and quirky character names have always been a part of Rajkumar Hirani films, and PK will be no different. In 3 Idiots, Hirani’s characters were names Ranchordas Shyamaldas Chanchad (Rancho), Chatur Ramalingam (Silencer). In fact, even Anushka Sharma in PK is named Jagat Janani.

  • Just cant wait for PK now..though my exams are starting from 19th DEC..Still i will somehow try to watch it on the day after writing my exam…

  • Waiting for pk. My fingers crossed. Eyes crossed. Ears crossed. Tonguee crossed. My bootiya also crossed. Waiting to shake my bootiya.

  • Quirky name :D

    Ranchoddas Chanchad, Phunsuk Wangdu, Jagat Janaani, Circeshwar (Circuit’s full name)

    Mr. Hirani and Mr. Chopra donate new names to the world.

    Fun fact: In Munna bhai, Arshad was supposed to be Farooque Khujli. But the name was feeling quite itchy and they wanted a character whose short tempered. So from short temper, they got short circuit and finally made it Circuit. The short circuit joke was included in climax of Mbbs. ;)

  • pk will definitely steel peoples heart. I guarantee it
    I love aamir n definitely aamir will not disappoint us
    love u aamir n Salman.

  • Unknown facts about Munna Bhai films and 3 idiots. I promise to bring a smile on your face with these facts :)

    1. The original script of Munna Bhai Mbbs was not a feel good movie. It was a hard hitting satire on medical profession.

    The original plot was about a Bhai who falls ill and visits a hospital. Doctors ask him to perform several tests unnecessarily and he realizes medical profession is more profitable than his profession. You also get a lot of respect unlike a ‘Bhai’. So he decides to become a doctor.

    Raju Hirani had some bad experiences with doctors so to vent out the frustration he wrote this story. When Vinod Chopra came on board he turned the story on its head and converted a raw idea into a brilliant script

    2. First 2 choices of Munna Bhai Mbbs were: Anil Kapoor and Vivek Oberoi.

    When the final draft was scripted, Anil Kapoor didn’t look as the right choice, so he was not even approached. But Vivek Oberoi rejected the film who was actually the first choice. Even before Shahrukh khan.

    3. The toughest scene of the movie and the song which Raju Hirani wants to delete:

    Remember the famous carom board scene shot in hospital? Hirani admits it was the toughest scene to shoot for a low budget movie and he infact took different shots for different actors. A shot featuring heroine Gracy Singh. One featuring Munna and Circuit. One with the old man, one with Jimmy Shergill and the last shot with carom board. In the editing table he combined all shots and made this a remarkable scene!!

    He also admits that he now wants to delete Chan Chan song from the movie which according to him broke the momentum of the movie.

  • The name looks unique and different . Also it is true to the character Aamir is playing . Because Aamir is speaking Bhojpuri in the movie . The expressions of Aamir are looking different . Sometimes they are looking exciting sometimes they are looking weird . For example i loved Aamir’s expressions in Tharki Chokro but his expressions are bad in Love is a Waste of Time . @ Indicine I also have heard that Aamir has kept the transistor in his personal momentum . This transistor was bought for 227 Rs. From Chor Bazaar and now reportedly some online websites are planning to auction it for 1.5 CR Rs. Which is really amazing . Expecting a top notch movie from Aamir and Raju Combo .

  • Unlike other Bollywood directors, you can see that Hirani’s movies are different, original and unique. Man, this guy is a genius and the gem of Bollywood.

  • Action Jackson is a bad film but it is a much better film than Bang Bang.

  • after a string of disasters in November .. hopes are high from PK .. hope it lives upto the expectations.
    All The Best Aamir Khan ??
    another Khan dominated year.

  • Intrigue in the film is growing day by day- thats the Aamir Khan way of generating awareness through subtle marketing n not full blown overextravagant loud coloured marketing tactics rest of industry adopt…! PK to rock

  • Not just in Hirani flicks do we see some interesting names coz even here on Indicine we get to meet some whacky characters with even whackier names like for instance our sole Arjun Kapoor fan Sambuddha Mukherjee or our very own Shaukeen reject Kshitij Stivastava uff 60 yr old virgin babaji…!

  • Aamir always plays different characters with each passing film that have unique names unlike our king sarook who has only shifted between the Raj character to Rahul chatacter in 85% of his films…..!

  • dekho aisa hai ki the name of the lead characters in a film dealing with an unusual subject should always b kept interesting so that ppl connect with those characters very easily.raju hiranis film always hv unique names for the hero
    -munnabhai,circuit,Rancho, silencer and nw pk aka punmiya kushal.

    I hv also given unique names to my flop bhanja emraan for his upcoming films- mr x(as mr x) and humari adhuri kahani(as Dev Das).hope it saves his sinking career

  • @Yuvraj, where are you nowadays? You earlier inform us to ‘i’m marriage 1st Dec of 2014’ but you still haven’t inform us about Honeymoon. When your Honeymoon or War day? Anyway happy married life.
