The movie, titled Paathshala Staring Shahid Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Ayesha Takia and Sunil Shetty, is being produced by Ahmed Khan and directed by Milind Ukey. It has Shahid playing an English and music teacher who helps nurture a bunch of naughty and troubled kids. Ahmed says 'Paathshala' is inspired from TZP but it is an original film because its script was written a year before TZP released.
Equally excited about the film is Shahid who has always adored Aamir, and looked up to him as someone worth emulating. 'Paathshala' will have a number of child artistes like Dwij Yadav ( Nanhe Jaisalmer ), Haji Ali ( Tara Rum Pum ) and Swini Khara ( Cheeni Kum ).
