Taare
Zameen
Par
is
a
story
of
a
kid
suffering
from
dyslexia.
To
create
awareness
about
this
disorder
an
example
of
Abhishek
Bachchan
is
used
in
the
film,
who
also
suffered
from
this
disorder.
Aamir
Khan
took
prior
permission
from
the
Bachchans
to
make
this
reference
and
use
Abhishek's
name
and
picture
as
an
example
of
success
in
spite
of
suffering
from
dyslexia
at
a
young
age.
Abhishek
is
among
the
crème
de
la
creme
of
Bollywood
today.
The
disorder
did
not
stop
him
from
creating
a
place
for
himself
in
the
film
industry
and
become
a
successful
star.
That"s
the
message
Aamir
gives
to
the
kids
in
the
film.
Like
Abhishek,
many
known
personalities
fall
in
this
category,
which
include
the
likes
of
Leonardo
Da
Vinci,
Thomas
Alva
Edison,
Alexander
Graham
Bell,
Winston
Churchill,
Keanu
Reeves,
Albert
Einstein
and
Tom
Cruise.
Taare
Zameen
Par
is
all
set
to
release
on
December
21
and
marks
the
directorial
debut
of
Aamir
Khan.
