New Delhi (IANS): Shahid Kapur's role as 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'," Khan told IANS.
"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," Khan said.
Along with Shahid, the film also stars Nana Patekar and Ayesha Takia in pivotal roles. Child actors Swini Khara, Dwij Yadav, Ali Haji and "Balika Vadhu" star Avika Gor are also part of the cast.
"Paathshaala" is primarily a children's film, said Khan, adding that working with children was a great experience.More about Shahid Kapoor
