Aamir Khan chipped in to promote good friend Satyajit Bhatkal directed Zokkomon headlining his discovery Darsheel Safary and Manjari Phadnis at a presser at his Bandra home front yard, Mumbai on Wednesday, April 20.
Darsheel, who plays India's first child superhero in Disney's action adventure Zokkomon, and Satyajit Bhatkal, who is debuting in Bollywood with this film, along with main lead Manjari Fadnis (last seen in Aamir's Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na) visited Aamir to specially invite him for a preview of the film.
Aamir protective instincts for his Taare Zameen Par co-star and protege Darsheel were evident at the event.
Manjari looked stunning in a blue empire waist mini dress and curly locks.
Aamir was effusive in praising his friends in the Zokkomon team, and spoke at length on his excitement for the film: "I am very excited to watch this action adventure by Disney who is know for quality films....specially since it has Darsheel in a brand new superhero avatar, and he will always be my superhero in real life too!

Aamir compared Manjari to Juhi Chawla when asked of his thoughts on her! Aamir had recommended her to Bhatkal after she impressed him with her work in Aamir's production Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Zokkomon is due in theaters on April 22.
