The book's main character is a nine year old girl suffering from dyslexia
Shakuntala Devi is saying that not only the idea to have a kid suffering from the disability taken from her book, but the content of some whole chapters and incidents of her book also have been reproduced in the movie without her permission.
She also says that once Kamal Hassan had complemented her and said that if an intelligent producer is bought on board and a movie is made based on the book, then it can create a huge impact in the whole world.
The producer and the director of 'Taare Zameen Par', Aamir Khan has still not responded to the allegations.
Shakuntala Devi says that she expects the actor to write a letter to her explaining why he made use of the material from her book for his movie.
