Aamir Khan replaced Amole Gupte as Taare Zameen Par director after 2 days of shoot, says Darsheel Safary: ‘Forget who is the director'
In a recent interaction with Vickey Lalwani, Darsheel Safary recalled how Aamir completely reshot a scene in Taare Zameen Par, despite Amole Gupte being present on the set. He said, 'He told us forget everything that we just shot. I am going to direct it. Amole sir is right here and he is going to be on the set as a creative director. It is his film, I will make it, we all will make it together. Forget who is the director.'
Darsheel also shared that Amole shot for the film for just 2-3 days before Aamir took over the director's chair. When asked how the transition was for him, Darsheel said, 'I was scared of Aamir sir. Amole sir and I were actually friends. He had spotted me at Shiamak Davar's classes.' He added, 'Amole sir and I had great friendship. His son and I are also good friends. We have done a lot of masti together.' Darsheel also admitted to Aamir giving inputs to Amole while shooting the film. 'I remember them talking about what works and what not. I remember very clearly him (Aamir) giving inputs.'
Defending himself, Aamir said in the interview with Galatta Plus, 'A lot of times people would assume that I am ghost directing. They would assume that when these directors didn't work with me and their films were flops and it happened so many times with me that it became like 'it can't be a coincidence'. It was infuriating to convince people that I am not directing these films, it is these directors who are directing it.'
The spiritual sequel of Taare Zameen Par — Sitaare Zameen Par — will be released on June 20. While Aamir played a teacher in the previous film, Sitaare Zameen Par will see him play the role of a basketball coach.

'Don't enjoy anybody else, after working with Ranbir Kapoor': When Anurag Basu made honest confession
Filmmaker Anurag Basu has admitted in an interview with Galatta Plus that working with Ranbir Kapoor raised his standards. Basu said, 'I have worked with many actors they will feel bad, but it's an honest confession; You don't enjoy working with anybody else, after working with him,' Anurag Basu said. Basu made the remarks while promoting Metro in Dino, released on July 4. He said he plans films so producers do not face losses. 'It is always covered. None of my producers will complain about that. So I know this is the budget I should play with,' Basu told Galatta Plus. He added that Metro was made on a modest budget since it is an ensemble film with no big stars. 'That I am very conscious about. And the industry is very ruthless,' he said. Anurag Basu on Jagga Jasoos and pay cuts Anurag Basu and Ranbir Kapoor first collaborated on Barfi! (2012), which received critical acclaim and became a box office success. Barfi! is a romantic comedy-drama featuring Ranbir Kapoor as a mute and deaf man named Barfi, alongside Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz. The film was praised for its heartfelt performances, soulful music, and poetic storytelling, earning multiple awards and cementing itself as one of the most memorable films of the decade. Basu looked back at his 2017 musical Jagga Jasoos, which took about four years to make and failed to recover its reported Rs 130 crore budget. He said the team prioritised the film's vision over money. 'Jagga didn't make a lot of money, but we were just quite there. Ranbir took less money. He cut down his fees, I cut down my fees. All of us. Because we were passionate about the project, we were not running behind money. But we made sure that we cut down on our fees so that the producer doesn't suffer. Because it was our vision, our project,' Basu recalled. Jagga Jasoos drew sharp reactions at the time, including public criticism from Ranbir's late father, Rishi Kapoor, who blamed Basu for the film's failure. Basu's new interview revisits that episode while underscoring his current priorities: protect producers, set practical budgets and focus on a clear creative vision.

Faissal Khan says Aamir Khan started getting jealous of him: 'I got more appreciation in Mela which caused sibling rivalry'
Aamir Khan 's brother Faissal Khan has left everyone shocked with his latest comments on the actor. Faisal alleged that he was tortured by Aamir and his family. He held a press conference on August 18 and announced that he has cut ties with his family. During his conference, he also spoke about Aamir's affair with British journalist Jessica Hines and alleged that he has a son with her out of wed-lock. Now in a another interview, Faissal has further spoken about him. He revealed that Aamir was influenced by his family but still he is at fault. He also revealed that Aamir was jealous of him. Sharing his ordeal, Faissal alleged, 'For many years, since 2003, torture is happening to me by my family. And the torture is not of a small extent. My fundamental rights are being infringed upon. My family doesn't respect me or trust me. ' He revealed that in the early 2000s, he had written an abusive letter to his family, after which they started dismissing him as a 'mad man.' Things escalated further, he claims, when Aamir intervened. He said during a chat with Hindustan Times, 'In 2005, Aamir came with the police and a doctor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He used his power to put me on medication and a nursing home against my wishes. In 2006, I went to Aamir's other house where he let me stay. For some time, everything was fine. Then suddenly in 2007, he wanted my signatory right… And that would have made me zero as a human being. Giving up your signatory rights is losing all your rights.' Faissal said this was the breaking point. 'That's when I left the house… I was shocked ke ab yeh log signatory rights pe aa gaye hain… I thought that this is total nonsense and I have to fight my family. All they try to do is try and defame me. They put out a statement saying that I am misleading public. But I have proof of everything that I am saying… This time, I got upset and decided to cut all ties with them to safeguard myself, my peace of mind and my dignity. ' The brothers had once worked together in Mela (2000), but according to Faissal, their relationship was strained even back then. 'When I was working on my first film, Madhosh, which was produced by my father Tahir Hussain , my father called Aamir many times. He wanted him to hear the script. But Aamir didn't hear it. I was disappointed at that time and wondered why he doesn't want to guide me, his own brother,' he said. He added, 'Then people started saying he is jealous from you from that time. In Mela, my work was appreciated more than his work. That also triggered jealousy and sibling rivalry… Between 2003 and 2005, my family instigated him. And he told me to quit acting after Mela.' Recalling that phase, Faissal remarked, 'and then it was downhill from that time and everything went haywire.' He further pointed to his struggles during Faactory: 'At the time of Faactory, I was not getting buyers. I tried to reach out to him for help to help me to sell it to OTT because he is such a powerful person. He refused to help me. So they are all incidents which are triggering off for many years right from 1992 when I started working on my first film.' According to him, Aamir was manipulated by the family but still holds responsibility. 'Aamir was put in the forefront by the family to use his power. You need to be a person with influence to forcefully put someone under medication, put someone under house arrest. Aamir's fault is that he listened to the family and did whatever wrong he was told to do. He was an adult in 2005 when he first came and took me. It was his stupidity and ignorance that he was brainwashed. ' "Get the latest updates on Times of India, including reviews of the movie Coolie and War 2 ."
