Aamir Khan replaced Amole Gupte as Taare Zameen Par director after 2 days of shoot, says Darsheel Safary: ‘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.
