MUMBAI:
With the tremendous success of his directorial debut Taare Zameen
Par, multi-talented performer Aamir Khan now finds his name
listed among India's top league of directors. The film has also
proved, once again, that he is an actor to reckon with, capturing
the hearts of a million kids with his role of Nikumb Sir. Now, fans
and movie buffs alike can catch this multitalented filmmaker in
a heart-to-heart with internationally renowned actor Kabir Bedi,
on the first episode of Director's Cut that airs Sunday, January
20th 2008, at 8:00 pm only on Zoom, India's premier glamour and
entertainment channel.
 Director's
Cut, a weekly one-hour series of thirteen episodes on Zoom, pays
tribute to Bollywood's directors - the people who have given shape
to our unique world of entertainment, while offering much pleasure
to the lives of movie lovers worldwide. It tracks, in a sense, the
long and interesting journeys some of our respected filmmakers have
made from obscurity to hard-won admiration.
Go
down memory lane with one of Bollywood's most talented Khans, beginning
with a shocker - as a child, Aamir was afraid of film sets! Coming
from a family with roots in the film industry that go back a few
generations, Aamir loved to hear stories from writers who came to
meet his father. "I never had to learn filmmaking," he
says. "I already knew everything. I would feel odd when friends
asked me how films were made. I would tell them it was simple."
Speaking about his passion for being associated with cinema, he
says, "Filmmaking is my world. I feel happy making people laugh
and cry, exciting and entertaining them."
There's
a great deal of hard-hitting stuff in store as well, as Kabir Bedi
asks the star a few pointed questions. Aamir opens up on everything
from controversies surrounding his marriage to accusations of being
a ghost director. The candid chat gets more exciting as Kabir discusses
individual characters played by Aamir, and the actor shares his
experiences of working on roles that have inspired thousands of
film lovers.
Don't
miss this vibrant debut of Director's Cut. Catch Aamir Khan and
Kabir Bedi on 20 January 2008, at 8:00 pm. Only on Zoom, Isko Dekho!
