He thought about this and decided he preffered me to stay on as producer and actor.”
When asked if his creativeness become a problem for Ram Gopal Verma during the making of Rangeela, Aamir denied it, saying “No, is it not true at all. Ramu and I had no creative differencs at all during Rangeels. I was very happy with how the movie turned out. After it releases, Ramu made a lot of statements, which were untrue. But he is entitled to have an opinion.”
Aamir also confirmed that Taare Zameen Pe is not an autobiography of his own childhood, saying “It is a script that was sent to me. It was written by Amol, who has been closely involved with kids for a good five to seven years. The script is about his experiences with them.”
