Aamir Khan Feared Delhi Belly Would Ruin His Image: 'Bad Film, Man!'

• Aamir Khan initially thought Delhi Belly was a 'really bad film' after watching its first cut during a test screening in Mumbai.
• He screened the film for Mumbai Police security, and one officer bluntly told him he would lose all his respect earned over 25 years.
• Aamir noted that first cuts often don't work, especially when humor fails and abuses seem gratuitous.
• The team later revisited and improved the film, which eventually became a cult favorite.
• The cop's blunt comment even inspired a line in the film's teaser, delivered by Imran Khan.
