New Delhi. Dalip Tahil is the popular actor of the Bollywood industry. He has worked with many big stars in his career. Aamir Khan’s ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’, ‘Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke’, ‘Ishq’, ‘Mana’ have been a tahil part. Recently, the actor told the story during the shooting of the film ‘Ishq’. Dalip Tahil said that during the shooting Aamir Khan used to ask questions about the scenes, because he has always had a different view.

In an interview to SCREEN, Dalip Tahil said, ‘When we were doing the scene together, Aamir always tried to know why the scene was being done like this. Inder Kumar also used to say in his own way that you just do what I am saying, because my characters are like this. There came a time when he said that brother, you do what I say in my film. But, there was a very good understanding between the two and even today there is a beautiful relationship between them.

It is necessary to follow the vision of the director
He further said, ‘When you are working with a director, you have to follow their vision. Especially with Inder Kumar. He used to have a clear vision about the style of telling the story and characters. He jokingly told Aamir 2-3 times that Baba, you make your picture, do as I am speaking in my film, because Aamir has a different view. After this, Aamir actually made a Lagaan film.

Aamir was tired of playing the same role
The actor also revealed that in the 1980s, Aamir Khan was not only disappointed with the lack of complete scripts, but was also tired of playing the same character. He said, ‘Aamir was in that position for a very long time. He was disappointed, it was also happening in earlier films. Also from doom to the doctrine. When Aamir Khan used to ask about his scenes, people had nothing. There was no bound script at that time. I saw that his disappointment was increasing year after year.

Why Aamir Khan was the first choice of makers
Dalip further said, ‘Aamir was cast only because he was a bankable star, then who is in his father’s role? Take the Dalip Tahil, because it is a combination that works. Aamir came from among those who worked with all the scripts, such as his uncle Nasir Hussain and father Tahir. He came from a separate film background, where people used to be organized.
