'Shahid's not aping Aamir
Shahid Kapur's role as a teacher in upcoming film 'Paathshaala' is very different from Aamir Khan's in 'Taare Zameen
Par', says choreographer turned producer Ahmed Khan. "There is no similarity between Shahid's role in the film and
Aamir's character in 'Taare Zameen Par'. In his film, Aamir was dealing with one child who was dyslexic, but Shahid deals
with many kids and basically with the whole education system in 'Paathshaala'," said Khan.
'Paathshaala', directed by Milind Ukey, is Khan's production debut and revolves around a group of troubled young
students. And Shahid has not charged any fee. "Shahid and I are very good friends. We share a great rapport. When I
told him about the film, he said he wanted to be a part of it even though the role wasn't long enough. He treats my wife
like his sister; so as a goodwill gesture he decided not to charge any money for the role," he said. |
