A stranger in the city asks questions no one has asked before. Known
only by his initials, P.K.'s innocent questions and childlike curiosity
will take him on a journey of love, laughter and letting-go.
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.
Filming
The co-director Khan began looking for shooting locations in July 2012. Second unit filming was set to begin in late 2012 which was stalled after the rumoured departure of three department heads for the film and bad weather stalling initial shoots.
Hirani denied rumours that the film would be delayed, stating that
principal filming had always been intended to begin in mid-January 2013
in Delhi and Rajasthan to "capture the winter of Delhi". Shooting officially began on 1 February 2013, with the filming scheduled to occur over a 45-day period. A 26-day schedule of shooting of PK started in Delhi from September 2013. When the shoot of the film was going on in Chandni Chowk area of Delhi,
an FIR was lodged against makers of the film for allegedly hurting
religious sentiments in October 2013. The objection was regarding a
scene in the movie where a man dressed as the Hindu deity, Lord Shiva pulls the rickshaw with two burqa clad women as passengers.
Marketing
The first poster of the movie came out on 31 July 2014. A motion poster was also released on the same day on YouTube. The poster sparked a controversy as it featured Aamir Khan posing almost nude with only a transistor covering his private parts. The poster was criticized for allegedly promoting obscenity. A PIL was filed in the court by the All India Human Rights and Social Justice Front to ban the release of the film. The Supreme Court dismissed the plea and gave the movie a green signal. There were also allegations on the poster being copied. It had similarities with the poster of a Portuguese musician named Quim Barreiros, which was released way back in 1973. The second poster of was launched on 20 August 2014 at an event in Mumbai.
This poster was also released in the form of motion poster on YouTube.
The new poster featured Aamir Khan wearing traditional Rajasthani
attire, also sporting dark glasses and holding onto a brass tenor. The
promotional strategy for the movie was revealed by the makers at the
launch of the second poster. The 3rd motion poster introduced Sanjay
Dutt as Bhairav Singh. The 4th motion poster Anushka Sharma along with
Aamir Khan released on YouTube 16 oct 2014. The poster will introduced Anushka Sharma as Jagat Janani
