    PK

    PK:
    PK is a 2014 Indian satire comedy-drama film directed by Rajkumar Hirani and written by Hirani
    and Abhijat Joshi. P. K. is a comedy of ideas about a stranger in the city, who asks
    questions that no one has asked before. They are innocent, child-like questions, but they
    bring about catastrophic answers. People who are set in their ways for generations, are
    forced to reappraise their world when they see it from PK's innocent eyes. In the process
    PK makes loyal friends and powerful foes. Mends broken lives and angers the
    establishment. P. K.'s childlike curiosity transforms into a spiritual odyssey for him and
    millions of others. The film is an ambitious and uniquely original exploration of complex
    philosophies. It is also a simple and humane tale of love, laughter and letting-go. Finally,
    it is a moving saga about a friendship between strangers from worlds apart

     Anushka Sharma as Jagat "Jaggu" Janani Sahani, a news reporter & Sarfaraz's love
    interest

    Title:
    In 2011, in its initial scripting stage, Rajkumar Hirani named the film 'Talli', then changed
    it to 'Ek Tha Talli' which he loved but later on came to know that 'Ek Tha Tiger' was
    already in production (released in 2012). He dropped the idea and, after many titles, he
    came up with a title that only had initials, 'PK'. After starting the film, Hirani felt PK was
    not a good enough title. He decided to change the title to 'Talli'. But after a few weeks of
    shooting, Hirani decided to go back to the original title.
    Characters[edit]

     PK: The titular character was written to be a Chaplinesque,


    bumbling alien and meant to provide an outside view to the
    quirks and hypocrisies of the Indian society. To further
    accentuate the alien look, Khan developed a distinct
    appearance and mannerisms including wearing green contact
    lenses and not blinking while talking. Khan learned Bhojpuri for
    the role[35] with the help of the language expert Shanti Bhushan.
    Rajkumar Hirani said in an interview, "When we write a script
    we usually visualize the characters in the film. How they look,
    talk and walk. But PK is one such character which was very
    difficult to visualize. We didn't have a reference point. PK was
    one such character, who didn't have a reference point. A
    character like him wasn't there in any book, nor did we meet
    someone like him in real life. We only knew that we wanted the
    character to be innocent and child-like. Now the question was,
    who is that actor who could look like a child. Someone who is
    perfect for the role of PK. The answer was obvious – Aamir
    Khan."[36]
     Jagat "Jaggu" Janini: PK's friend and confidante, 'Jaggu' is
    a television news reporter and is instrumental in spreading
    PK's message. She was envisioned as a fun-loving yet mature
    and independent woman. The producers wanted a distinct look
    for Jaggu and ended up trying several options over a few days
    before settling on one. Anushka said in an interview "Raju Sir
    wanted me to look happy, chirpy and peppy in ‘PK’. Keeping
    his brief in mind, the team came up with this look." She
    revealed that she was not required to cut her hair by
    remarking, "I have long hair, so hair stylists just wrapped my
    hair and tucked inside the wig".[37]
     Bhairon Singh: Makers wanted somebody tall and sturdy
    for the role of Bhairon Singh and that's why Sanjay came in the
    picture. Vidhu Vinod Chopra shared, "The character Bhairon
    Singh is shown to be PK's good friend. The idea was that since
    PK is a tiny person, we wanted someone who in contrast is
    very huge. Such that, when Bhairon hugs PK, it looks funny as
    the tiny man would go completely unnoticed in Bhairon's
    arms."[38]
