It is a known fact that regardless of the role that Aamir Khan is playing, if his name gets attached to a film then it becomes his own. Though Rajkumar Hirani is one of the very few directors in recent times who has managed to make a film (3 Idiots) entirely as per his vision with no talks of Aamir getting overtly involved with the making, same can't be said about many other filmmakers in the past who have worked with him. However those associated with his next film 'Talaash' insist that there was no requirement of any additional involvement from Aamir other than being in the capacity of an actor.

Says a source, "Of course Aamir likes to step in but then he too does so only if a film requires additional involvement from him. Let me not name these directors but then their track record in films they have made without Aamir speaks for itself. If Aamir would have wanted to involve himself in every film, he would have done so for 'Dil Chahta Hai' as well. However you didn't hear him taking over from Farhan (Akhtar), right? Same holds good for Reema Kagti too who has directed 'Talaash'."

Co-producer Ritesh Sidhwani further adds, "Reema is the one who has written the script and Aamir too realises that he is in good hands. She is a great filmmaker so why would anybody want work to take up her task when they themselves have a job to do. 'Talaash' is a co-production of Aamir as well and if he wanted, he could have dictated terms. But here, Reema is the captain of the ship. Period."

Well, this should stop wagging tongues from spreading rumours of any kind even though the film is still six months away.
