Google rejects Aamir Khan's request to replace 'Search' with 'Talaash'
26 Nov 2012

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, known for his out-of-the-box marketing strategies for his films, has been reportedly rejected from tying up with search giant Google for his upcoming movie ‘Talaash’.

According to a report, speaking at a press conference ahead of the film's release in Dubai, Aamir Khan revealed that his marketing team had tried to get in touch with search engine giant Google to replace the search button with the word ‘Talaash’ (Search) on their homepage for a short time. Unfortunately for the star, Google refused to do this as it was against their policy.

It was earlier reported that the India homepage of Google was likely to have the word Talaash (which means search) replace the Google Search button for a short period of time leading up to the release. However, a report in FirstPost quotes a DNA story claiming that the actor might be in talks with Google officials to pull off what could be the biggest publicity coup one has seen in Bollywood in a long time.

@Sachin: This is no doubt looking stupid as the deal has fallen flat now. But imagine what brilliance it would have been if Google agreed and the deal was on?
