Aamir never lost patience: Reema
Other’s may call it “interference”, but director Reema Kagti does not want to use that word with reference to Aamir Khan. Instead, she says that she has begun to get the taste of Aamir’s perfectionist ways of ensuring the best, while also managing to keep his cool.
The director even goes a step ahead and claims that it was Aamir’s involvement that helped her when she was a bundle of nerves.
“See, Talaash has been a very difficult film to make. I distinctly remember the time when I came up with its first cut. It would be an understatement to say that I was totally horrified with what I saw,” confesses Reema. That was the time when Aamir sat her down and had a heart-to-heart chat with her which made things better.
“He asked me not to worry and told me that out of 40-45 films that he has done over 25 odd years, none of them looked perfect in the first cut. The significant thing was that I was aware of the existing problem and wanted to work on it.”
Soon Reema’s close friend and co-writer Zoya Akhtar jumped in to save the day. “This happened a year ago and post that we have worked on subsequent cuts, each one better than the other. It was Aamir who never lost patience — he was so much into the film,” Reema adds.
Reema’s stance on this will indeed go a long way in wiping away all the rumours about Aamir delaying the film over the last one year.
