Shahid
Kapoor,
Vishal
Bhardwaj
and
Sriram
Raghavan
were
present
a
week
ago
when
Amole
Gupte
and
the
children
of
his
school
Aseema
for
impermanent
slum
children
screened
their
first
film
at
the
M.E.T
College
in
Bandra
(Mumbai).
It
was
a
moving
moment
for
Shahid
who
empathizes
deeply
with
issues
related
to
children
and
has
in
fact
done
a
film
on
children"s
education
Paathshala
for
his
childhood
friend
Ahmed
Khan,
and
has
also
done
a
film
Wah
Life
Ho
To
Aisi
with
child
actors
at
the
helm.
Shahid
was
so
moved
by
the
filmmaking
effort
of
the
children
at
Aseema
that
he
has
now
offered
them
all
support
and
help.
Says
Amole,
“Shahid,
Vishal
and
Sriram
were
deeply
moved.
They
feel
only
the
truly
innocent
can
make
a
film
as
devoid
of
cunning
as
Aansoon
Bane
Moti.
Even
the
title
was
chosen
by
the
kids
themselves."
And
now
the
kids
from
Aseema
will
be
making
one
film
every
month.
“The
first
film
was
exactly
ten
minutes
twenty
seconds
long.
Now
they"re
going
on
to
their
second.
M.E.T
College
has
kindly
consented
to
lend
all
their
editing
equipment
for
the
kids.
So
now
the
kids
at
Aseema
are
the
only
regular
pre-teen
and
adolescent
filmmakers
from
any
part
of
the
world."
Amole,
deeply
affiliated
to
children"s
causes
had
to
cringe
before
shouting
at
a
child
actor
in
Kaminey.
“But
that
was
my
character.
Not
me.
I
convinced
myself
into
doing
all
kinds
of
political
and
domestic
things
that
I"ve
no
patience
for,
or
affinity
with."
Amole
Gupte
has
cut
his
hair…
something
he
had
been
waiting
to
do
from
the
time
he
began
playing
Bhope,
the
parochial
Marathi
goon
in
Kaminey.
“It
came
with
the
territory.
And
now
it"s
gone.
I
think
'The
Look" for
my
character
Bhope
determined
to
a
large
extent
my
selection
for
the
part.
Vishal
Bhardwaj
liked
the
way
my
hair
flowed.
It
went
well
with
the
way
he
imagined
my
character.
Then
of
course
there
was
my
27
years
as
a
cinema
student.
That
also
must
have
influenced
their
decision."
However
the
long
hair
began
to
bug
Amole.
“Somewhere
my
hair
becomes
too
much
a
part
of
the
character.
I
was
waiting
for
the
film
to
be
over
so
I
could
get
rid
of
it."
Amole
is
hoping
he
won"t
be
flooded
with
villainous
roles
after
Kaminey.
“More
than
that
I
hope
my
character
Bhope
doesn"t
obstruct
in
the
work
that
I
most
enjoy
doing
with
my
children."
