The creative efforts of Aamir Khan and Amol Gupte had given us a sensitive film like Taare Zameen Par. But if the buzz is to be believed, Aamir refused to work on Amol’s next film. Rumours suggest that scriptwriter and actor Amol approached Aamir for a film. It was a subject close to Amol’s heart which he felt only Aamir could do justice to.
Our source said, “Amol met Aamir recently and the two even had detailed discussions on the subject as the actor heard Amol out patiently. “Apparently, the subject dealt with children and issues concerning them. Aamir felt the plot was very similar to what they had done in Taare Zameen Par. Though Aamir has great regard for Amol as a story teller, the actor felt that he would be getting repetitive in the film so he politely turned him down,” said our source.
It may be known that initially Amol Gupte was Taare Zameen Par’s director. But differences between him and Aamir made the latter take over as the film’s director.
