Aamir Khan is one busy man. The latest on him is that the recently-turned-prolific genius has not only turned a producer with Amol Gupte’s directorial debut, but he has also given a green signal to producing his cousin Nuzhat’s son Imran Khan’s lauching pad ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’. JTYJN is also the directorial debut of screenplay writer Abbas Tyrewala. Film Financier Jhamu Sughand was supposed to be producing the film but when he developed cash problems, Khan stepped in. After a script reading session of two and a half hours, Aamir shook hands with Tyrewala and confirmed that the film is On!

Abbas Tyrewala has earlier scripted hits like ‘Munnabhai MBBS’, ‘Maqbool’ and ‘Main Hoon Na’. For JTYJN, he has written the story, screenplay, dialogues and the lyrics. He plans to take A R Rahman for doing the music and knowing the bond Aamir shares with the South maestro, it won’t be difficult convincing him. The shooting begins in October and it also has interesting cameos by Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Arbaaz Khan and Arshad Warsi. Aamir is of the opinion that the original budget of Rs 6.5 crore can be rationalized further and Tyrewala believes in the production instinct of Khan. ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’ is a campus romance with its share of fun-n-humour. And, it will be for the first time that a film involving Aamir Khan won’t have him acting in it.
