Aamir Khan has got fascinated with a new story and is funding a film based on it.
For the second time the actor is financing an issue based film.
The movie is to showcase the plight of the farmers in Bhopal.
We know that Aamir only gives the green signal when he is fully convinced about the quality of a certain project offered to him.
Considering the film's storyline it is for sure that it is the actor's genuine concern for the farmers that made up his mind to produce it.
Aamir's experiences after the release of 'Taare Zameen Per' also might have influenced his decision.
The way Aamir's directorial debut has brought about a change in the common man's perspective on children's education process is highly commendable.
After 'TZP' hit the screens, the actor was very much appreciated for utilizing the power of films to bring into focus the problem of learning disability.
So now may be Aamir thinks that he can put the spotlight on a grave problem that is eating up poor farmers lives in Bhopal.
Anusha Rizvi, a former journalist having first hand knowledge about the issues faced by the farmers in Bhopal is directing the film.
Raghubir Yadav is giving life to the lead character.
