The Aamir Khan and Harry Baweja war is only increasing up! While Harry Baweja intended a smashing music launch for Love Story 2050 last night, Aamir decided to match it by organizing a high profile screening of Indiana Jones which he attended with nephew Imran Khan and other invitees including director Rakyesh Mehra and Zeenat Aman.
When Baweja planned the music launch days in advance, Aamir's attendance with his nephew was a last minute plan. The Love Story 2050 music launch was to be a very big event considering that Harman Baweja was to interact with the media for the first time and the much-talked about couple, Priyanka-Harman, was to make its first appearance together.But Aamir has been going all out to promote Jane Tu Ya Jane Na and this was one such occasion where Aamir could not sit back and let Love Story 2050 take center stage. To put the media in a fix Aamir, with his co-producers PVR Cinema, decided to hold the screening of Indiana Jones where his presence with Imran would take the limelight away from Love Story's music launch. Also, the film screening was held in Goregaon to make it even more difficult for the media to attend the Love Story 2050 music launch, which was held at a suburban five star hotel.
It must be recalled that even earlier Harry Baweja had called up Aamir and requested him to postpone the release date of Jane Tu Ya Jane Na because he thought it would be in the best interest of the two debutants, Harman and Imran. But Aamir had refused.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Love Story 2050 releasing on the same date
It seems Aamir Khan is not ready to make any changes in his nephew Imran Khan's debut film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na even if it is his old friend Harry Baweja who is making the request for a change.
Harry had asked Aamir to adjourn the release date of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na as it coincides with that of the release of his own son Harman's debut film Love Story 2050. The Harman - Priyanka starrer is also scheduled to release on June 4.
Baweja, who is leaving no stone unturned to make sure that Harman enters Bollywood with a bang, is quite agitated about this clash of dates. He felt it would only be unfair if the two newcomers were pitted against each other on their first film itself.
So, he thought that requesting Aamir, who is an old friend, would solve matters. Aamir however, was in no mood to make a compromise even with something as small as a release date.
Harry Baweja knows Aamir very well. He approached Aamir and told him that it would be unfair to both the newcomers if their debut films were both released on the same day. It would result in unfair comparisons between them. But Aamir simply refused to make any changes as he has been planning out all details of the film's release over the last few weeks.
Confirms a source from Aamir Khan Productions, "Aamir has made a lot of preparations with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. He is even more engrossed in planning the film's release, as he is not shooting for Ghajini right now."
We hear that Imran's next film Kidnap, which also stars Sanjay Dutt and will be directed by Sanjay Ghadvi is releasing in August. So, Aamir couldn't possibly release both of Imran's films back to back. No wonder his friend's request had to be put on a hold.
The source says, "This is Aamir Khan Production's third film. A similar situation took place with Lagaan and Taare Zameen Par, which were both released on the same date as Gadar - Ek Prem Katha and Welcome. However, both of these films were very successful."
No wonder, Aamir is not at all worried about Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na being released on the same day as Harry's big budget Love story 2050. We can't wait to see who wins the race this time.
