Aamir Khan Aamir Khan has always been suspected of ghost directing films he acts in. But with his second home production Tare Zameen Par, the actor has officially turned director. Debutant director Amol Gupte was to wield the baton initially, but Aamir soon realised he wasn't comfortable leaving him in charge. Amol was later given the title of creative director, while Aamir took on the added responsibility of co-directing the film." Taking credit Apparently, there were serious creative differences between Aamir and Gupte, leading the actor to toy with the idea of shelving the film altogether. But since a considerable part of the film had already been canned, Aamir decided to share Amol's burden. Says a member of the cast, "Aamir is even thinking of taking credit as co-director of the film. Kiran (Rao) directs all the scenes that have Aamir in them; he briefs her before he faces the camera." A member if the unit adds, "Aamir's constant interference has actually delayed the film to a large extent. The shooting should have been completed by now, but about 15 per cent still remains to be canned." Two to tango When we contacted an insider from the Khan camp, she dismissed Kiran's role behind the camera, but confirmed, "Aamir and Amol are now directing the film jointly. We have two directors on the set and there are no two opinions about that. Both discuss everything with each other." Tare Zameen Par is expected to be complete in March. Aamir plays father to a polio-stricken child, played by Tanmay Chedda. The film, dwelling on sensitive human relationships, has music given by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. http://ww1.mid-day.com/hitlist/2007/february/151338.htm ************************************************************ So finally,after ghost directing many films,Its official...hehehe lol,isnt he a nightmare for any director😆...Hope the film turns out to be good...😛 Gaana mana hai! By: Subhash K Jha February 6, 2007 Karan Here's some dope on Karan Johar's next directorial venture, that will probably make your jaws drop in surprise and music directors want to commit suicide. Karan's next film will be shot at the end of the year and will have no songs! Can't break into song Quite a dramatic (or should we say drastic?) departure for a filmmaker who thinks songs and dances are as integral to Hindi cinema as blood and guts are to Martin Scorcese's films. Apparently, Karan is all set to make another bold leap into the dark with his next. Quite like what Sanjay Leela Bhansali did in Black after Devdas, huh? "You could say that," says Karan. "I've always admired Sanjay's work and made no bones about it. To go songless in my next directorial venture is a decision dictated more by the theme than by any extraneous forces. I can't see songs breaking into my next film's narrative. But it isn't as if there will be no songs! Though no one will sing, there will definitely be music and songs in the background." Shankar-Ehsan-Loy can now breathe easy ******************************************************** Wonder what's up K Jo's sleave🤔

intersting articles, KJO is surprising me in every article now a days . tfs 😊

Thnks for sharing ...it's good without songs ... 😆

Thanks for sharing. Hey it will boring wothout songs 😡

Here's more trivia about the film

Courtsey radiosargam



Karan Johar is busy working on Koffee With Karan, but he has been on a secret hush-hush mission to the States. Now one would think why is he in the USA? The reason is that he is meeting world leaders and ambassadors for a film on terrorism. Yes, I said it. Terrorism is the subject of Karan Johar's next big directorial venture. It is a sensitive and topical global issue that requires a lot of research. "Unlike my other films, my next directorial venture goes into an area that I need to get completely right before going on the floors. I'm therefore in the US for three weeks meeting people from various religious, social and humanitarian organisations. None of my films so far have required me to go much beyond my imagination," says Karan. He says it's too early to elaborate on his project. "But it raises issues that concern us in an immediate way. We cannot turn away from them, because they stare into our faces and conscience every morning from the newspapers," says Karan.

All he is ready to divulge now is that it will have Shah Rukh Khan in it for sure. But not only that, the film itself will be titled 'Khan'. Karan Johar will keep the letter K, as he has for his last three films, and this time around it will be named after the star himself. No other actors have yet been cast, but insiders say that Karan has a script, and is doing the final touches to it.

One final hot news about the film, it will have no songs. This will be a first for Karan Johar, as his films rely on the popularity of its music, and sometimes the music tends to be better than the films themselves. 'Khan' will have soundtrack, similar to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black, but no songs as per normal in Bollywood. As a matter of fact, Karan was inspired by Bhansali, "You could say that," says Karan. "I've always admired Sanjay's work and made no bones about it. To go song-less in my next directorial venture is a decision dictated more by the theme than by any extraneous forces. I can't see songs breaking into my next film's narrative. But it isn't as if there will be no songs! Though no one will sing, there will definitely be music and songs in the background." Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy are favourites to pen the score again.

On when he will make an official announcement, Karan says "I will soon announce my next film. I have not done it because I am so tied up with my new season of 'Koffee With Karan'."

Karan has not revealed the story to anyone, but I can reveal a little about it. 'Khan' will see Shah Rukh Khan play a world renowned peace activist, who is kidnapped by 'Islamic' terrorists, and has to negotiate his own way out. The difference in this story is that 'Khan' will be more affectionate towards his kidnappers, and once out of captive, begins to work for the goal they are trying to achieve. He reaches his goal and makes peace where no one thought was possible. The film's first part will be similar to Tom Cruise's epic 'The Last Samurai'. However, the second part will be totally inventive and fresh. Karan hopes to send out a global message to 'terrorists' and world leaders through this film. The film could release as early as Diwali 2008.

OMG,Its a film on terrorism😲....How is K Jo going to handle the complex theme,be botched up the infidelity theme in KANK,terrorism is far more complex and controversial.. 😕 .He's no Mani Ratnam who made wonderful movies with this theme(Roja ,Dil Se)...I hope KJo knows what he's doing ...

I honestly think he was at his peak with his 1st movie kkhh. K3G was good but not as good as kkhh. KHNH was okay, and KANK was his worst till date.
