The film was a remake of a Oscar award winning French movie. Aamir saw the film when it was half complete and was shocked. The film was not any near the original movie. This upset Aamir and he stopped giving shooting dates. He would keep delaying the film and find excuses not to shoot. His co stars Farha and Pran would wait endlessly on the sets . Finally Farha had enough and confronted Aamir. She told him not to waste her and units time. To tell the director that he wanted to leave the movie.Aamir retaliated in print and said Farha gained weight and did'nt suit him on screen.
