Shahid Kapoor has always admired Aamir Khan for the different roles that he has played on screen.
Now, Shahid's close friend Ahmed Khan, choreographer-turned-producer has signed him for his new film Paathshaala, which will be directed by Milind Ukey who has assisted Sanjay Leela Bansali. In the film the audiences will get to see Shahid paying tribute to Aamir Khan.
His character is about an English and music teacher who comes to live with a group of young troubled students almost similar to what Aamir played in TZP.
One cannot deny the fact that Aamir's latest hit created a huge difference and changed the way in which a parent-children relationship was looked upon.
Paathshaala also deals with a teacher's interaction with the group of young kids. The children who would be seen playing students to Aamir are Swini Khare from Cheeni Kum, Ali Haji from Fanaa and Dwij Yadav from Nanhe Jaisalmer.
Ahmed Khan has directed two films before- Lakeer and Fool N Final; both flopped at the box-office. However, the producer is very confident with his latest project as it comes straight from his heart and took him almost a year to finalize the script.
Let's just wait and see whether Shahid does justice to the role which has already been played by his mentor.
