Post the release and all the hype and recognition surrounding Taare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan got busy with various other projects, so much so that the Taare… star Darsheel Safary had sadly confessed that ‘Aamir Uncle’ is no longer in touch with him.

Ajay Devgan’s A Legend of Bhagat Singh, and Bobby Deol’s Shaheed, both on the life of slain hero Bhagat Singh were released around the same time.
