&quot;UTV had earlier planned it all, but I never took Sunita Williams&#39; name, I don&#39;t know how her name cropped up,&quot; the 47-year-old said here Monday. <img alt="" src="http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2012/may/Farah-Khan_2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 369px; " /> &quot;This was a promotional strategy because Akshay (Kumar) is a NASA scientist in the film, it&#39;s about aliens and space ships. They (UTV) thought we could get it relayed on that station, but there is so much red tape involved in that and it takes a long period of asking for it and all. But I never took Sunita Williams&#39; name,&quot; said Farah, who has co-produced the film. Meanwhile, Akshay&#39;s look in &quot;Joker&quot; resembles that of Aamir Khan&#39;s in &quot;Lagaan&quot;. Asked about the similarities, Farah said: &quot;If he is looking like Aamir in &#39;Lagaan&#39;, then I am happy because it was a very big movie.&quot;u00a0 &quot;But a villager&#39;s outfit and look is the same, dhoti and bandi. By this logic, Aamir&#39;s look also resembled that of Dilip Kumar&#39;s in &#39;Naya Daur&#39;. It&#39;s a village look and there are only that many village looks that you can do,&quot; she added. u00a0Directed by Shirish Kunder, &quot;Joker&quot; also stars Sonakshi Sinha and Shreyas Talpade. It is set to hits theatres Aug 31.

Choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan clarifies that makers of "Joker" planned to show the fantasy adventure on the space station as part of a promotional strategy and that it was never meant just for Indo-American astronaut Sunita Williams
