It's one of the most anticipated films of &nbsp;the year. Aamir Khan’s films are always a celebration for his fans. How was it like to work with the superstar? Does working with Aamir Khan come with an added responsibility?</strong><br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>RS Prasanna: </strong>Yes, of course, working with Aamir Khan comes with a lot of responsibility, because one, the 1st thing that hits you is like a ton of bricks when you realise this man trusts you so much, so you can't let him down. I was suffering from impostor syndrome for a long time at the beginning. Working with Aamir was like climbing Mount Everest for me. I was really scared. Yeah, because I'm not used to that terrain. I was very anxious. I remember telling my wife that maybe, after meeting him, Ak will say he made a mistake, and he'll kick me out . But luckily, that didn’t happen.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>After a long interaction online, I met him in person post-lockdown. We had this lovely whole day session of just hanging out like friends.

I just feel this immense responsibility that I can't let him down and it comes out of love.<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION: How did Sitaare Zameen Par come to you?&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>RSP: </strong>I got a call from Aamir’s manager. He asked me if I had an interesting story or a script that I could pitch to AK Productions. I remember thinking in my head, ‘Oh, wow! I have this.’ I always wanted to work with Aamir but maybe on my 10th film. Little did I know that it would happen so soon.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>When this story was offered to me, what at the time it was untitled. And at that time, what struck me and my writer Divy Nidhi Sharma, was the enormous opportunity for fun in this movie. It was an incredible story that came to us, and it had all the exciting ingredients to make a mainstream film, but with a difference. We had had an opportunity to speak about a lot of things, and we had this opportunity to cast 100 people of neurodivergent. I just felt that the story was so powerful, and I remember taking it to Amir, sir, and when he said, Yes, that's when things got really exciting and anxious for me. I felt, ‘Oh God, maybe Amir sir is making a big mistake by making me the director. Will I be able to do this?’ I was all nervous until I met him.<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION: Were Aamir and Genelia both the first choices for their respective roles?</strong></p><p><strong>RSP:</strong> So sometimes a cast just leaps at your face. Amir Sir was the 1st person who came to my mind for the film. Once he came on board, we started the casting process, and we were discussing which other actors I'd like to work with. And so, in one of those discussions, Aamir Sir said, ‘Hey, you know what? So we were about to test some actors right? I just met Ritesh and Genelia after a long time. And do you want to meet her? I mean, what do you feel?’ I said, sir actually, she might be the perfect person for this character, and when you see the movie you know there's so much in the movie that her character brings to the forefront. But again, we did our readings. We did our test shoot with Aamir and Genelia before finalizing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Aamir and Genelia

<p><strong>WION: Your first Hindi film, Shub Mangal Savdhan, was such a sweet film. But I observe a pattern. Both Shubh Mangal and Sitaare are message-driven films. Do you see cinema as a medium for societal change?</strong></p><p><strong>RSP:</strong> Not so much societal change, but I feel a human conversation. I'm a person who loves conversations, and I am quite appalled by the fact that growing up in a middle-class household, I was the guy saying all the awkward stuff. And then everyone is grown up. I used to be the kid who called out hypocrisy, and I used to just speak my mind and get in a lot of trouble because of that.&nbsp; I was attracted to cinema and books that asked questions that others were afraid of asking. When it came to cinema, I had to define who I am by making my 1st film <i>Kalyana Samayal Saadham </i>right. It came organically to me. I think my personality and everything came together in the film. &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><blockquote><p>And the fact that people are saying ‘Oh, my God! How can you say the story?’ That is exciting. So Sitaare Zameen Par is yet another conversation that makes people uncomfortable. So maybe I should have it, you know. Also I think humor is a great kind of softener. A lot of conversations, when you have it through characters and through humor, people accept it. More than societal change, my cinema enables human conversations. It's about relationships for me, you know. Society is, after all, an expansion of the individual, isn't it?<br>&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p><strong>WION: Sitaare Zameen Par is launching 10 very unique actors in the film industry. While it's fascinating that you have cast differently abled people in those roles, does it come with certain challenges?</strong></p><p><strong>RSP:&nbsp;</strong> Everything is challenging. Human relationships are challenging. But that is what is exciting for me. I don't see it as a challenge. I see it as an opportunity to do something fun and do something new. Because theoretically, one knows that it is possible. Otherwise, one doesn't embark on the journey.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>I think more than working with neurodivergent actors, the casting process was more challenging. I knew that once we get these actors, we have processes, workshops and all to get there right. But we need to be able to find these actors, and for that, I would say kudos to my producer, Mr. Amir Khan, because he was the one who gave me the confidence to audition actors. I was helped along the way by amazing casting Director Tess Joseph, and then Anmol also came along as a casting director. So we reached out to so many organizations, we did 2,500 plus intros and auditions, and from there we kind of got these amazing actors right. I was very confident about the quality, but we need quantity, too.<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION: What's been the biggest learning for you while making Sitaare Zameen Par?&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>RSP:</strong> That dreams can come true because I never in my wildest dreams imagined I'd sit next to Mr. Amir Khan, let alone work with him, let alone direct him. If you do things from your heart, and maybe the universe will indeed conspire to make it happen. The biggest learning is to listen to the voice of intuition, which is always a whisper.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>WION: Aamir Khan is known to be a perfectionist. What is it like to have Amir Khan on the set, even when he's not facing the camera? Does he give input? Or he's more of a director's actor. He follows instructions?</strong></p><p><strong>RSP: </strong>He's a director's delight. So he is a person who completely submits to the film, to the script, and is very respectful of protocol. He's very respectful towards any suggestion he gives any insights he has. There's not one input he will ever give you that is about himself as an actor; it is more about the film. He's very selfless. He is just phenomenal to work with. &nbsp;Forget Aamir, my Sitaares gave me suggestions all the time!</p>

It also drew criticism for its subplot, a love story between a Hindu woman, played by Anushka Sharma, and a Pakistani man played by Sushant Singh Rajput. Some critics accused the film of allegedly promoting "love jihad." "Love Jihad" is a controversial and politically charged term used in certain parts of the country to describe an alleged conspiracy where Muslim men are said to lure non-Muslim women into romantic relationships or marriage to convert them to Islam. ‘My daughter is married to a Hindu’ Responding to that, Aamir said, "When people from two religions, particularly Hindu and Muslim, fall in love and get married, that's not always love jihad. This is just humanity. It's above religion." The actor pointed out that his daughter and sisters were married to Hindus, and would that be considered love jihad? “My sister Nikhat is married to Santosh Hegde, both my wives were Hindu, my daughter Ira Khan also married a Hindu, so what does this mean that there is also love jihad?” Aamir's sister Farhat is married to Rajeev Dutta, while his other sister Nikhat is married to Santosh Hegde.

One user wrote, “I have watched swades 3-4 times on tv. Every Independence Day, they used to telecast it. One of the best movie of srk. Hit movie kahi se copied hoti toh mamu kar lete,(had the script been copied, he would have done it)” whereas another asked, “Kyunki script original thi?(because the script was original?)” A comment read, “Isko Oscar worthy film banani hai. Aur phir LSC, Ghajini aur Dhoom jaisi remake banata hai.(He wants to make Oscar-worthy films. And then make remakes like Laal Singh Chaddha, Ghajini, and Dhoom) Swadesh was one Oscar-worthy film, even more so than Lagaan any day.” Another person said, “He was a bitter person, he is a bitter person, he will be a bitter person. And apparently, Thugs, Dhoom 3, Mela, Mann, Mangal Pandey, Dhobi Ghaat, Baazi, Love Love Love, Tum Mere Ho, Talaash are all movies that were more entertaining.”

<div>Ever heard a song and wondered what's its story - how it came about, why the makers placed it in a particular sequence, why it's picturised a certain way or why it features some specific scenes? If you've found yourself pondering over any of the above points on more than one occasion, well, then, you've landed at the right place. Here, in <strong>The Song Story,</strong> we decode the making of some of Indian cinema's most memorable songs.</div>
<div></div>
<h2><b>Behind the beats of Tere Hawaale From Laal Singh Chaddha</b></h2>
<div>On August 11, 2022, <em>Laal Singh Chaddha</em> hit the big screen. Stakes were high for the official Hindi remake of the 1994 American film <em>Forrest Gump.</em> Helmed by Advait Chandan, the film brought together Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, a pair that had previously worked together in <em>3 Idiots</em> and <em>Talaash: The Answer Lies Within, </em>among other films. Despite mixed reviews and decent word of mouth, the big-budget production tanked at the box office. The film, however, generated buzz with its subsequent arrival on OTT months later.</div>

<div></div>
<div>But even amidst the underwhelming numbers at the ticket windows, its song<em> 'Tere Hawaale' </em>tugged at the heartstrings of viewers. Amitabh Bhattacharya's lyrics, Pritam Chakraborty's music, Shilpa Rao and Arijit Singh's voices - the song had just the right names backing it. And just like the film, the song continues to find love years after its release, especially during the wedding season.&nbsp;</div>
<div></div>
<div><span><b><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KUpwupYj_tY?si=-h5Z6vAnaiR3c6Zn" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></b></span></div>
<div></div>
<div>But did you know it didn't actually start out as a wedding song. The original brief, as revealed in a recent making video of the song,&nbsp;was something that would fit the idea of a childhood first love - to trace Laal and Rupa's love story in the film. However, once the song was written and composed, the makers felt it doesn't fit the pre-decided narrative and instead, would do wonders as a wedding song. And so it did.&nbsp;</div>
<div><br><strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/aamir-khan-shares-his-audition-tape-for-laapataa-ladies-netizens-feel-ravi-kishan-was-a-better-choice-8899648">Aamir Khan shares his audition tape for Laapataa Ladies, netizens feel Ravi Kishan was a better choice</a></strong></div>
<div></div>
<div>Notably, the picturisation of the song took inspiration from a real-life wedding. "The idea popped up from there, how simply you can take it into your backyard - only this whole wedding, not in the premise, but taking it a little away from the house," explained production designer Mustafa Stationwala.</div>
<div></div>
<div>However, it wasn't the smoothest of shoots. Strong gusts of wind made filming so challenging at the location that several crew members had to be stationed out of frame to hold the pillars from falling. "But people are humming the song and enjoying the whole breadth of it," he added.</div>
