Bollywood star Aamir Khan will launch the music of his home production Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na by presenting the first copy of the music CD to veteran actor Shammi Kapoor on Tuesday.

A lavish music launch has been planned for the film in which Aamir Khan's nephew Imran Khan is making his debut. However, the superstar said instead of a lavish party, he would rather make it a more intimate affair by seeking Kapoor's blessings and presenting him with a copy of the film's music composed by A R Rehman.

Aamir said Kapoor is his lucky mascot and has been seeking his blessings since his own film debut in late 1980s.

More recently, Aamir had visit Kapoor at his residence and presented him the first copy of the music of his directorial debut Taare Zameen Par.

Aamir said the veteran actor is an old family friend having worked in classics like Teesri Manzil and Tum Sa Nahi Dekha, produced by his uncle Nasir Hussain.

"Shammiji's blessings are important. He has been a guiding force since a long time and has been very close to our family. It is a kind of ritual for us to go and present him the first copy of the music. This time it's Imran's launch and it is all the more important," he said. Imran is the grandson of Nasir Hussain.
