Now the man his focusing his attention on the increasing number of farmer suicides plaguing Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. However this time he is refraining from making statements and is actually producing a film based on this
heart-breaking issue and hopes to sensitize the nation to the farmers plight! The hard-hitting film has been written and directed by former journalist Anusha Rizvi. A source close to the actor reveals, “Aamir was tremendously moved by the script. In spite of the alarming suicide rate among farmers, the government hasn’t reacted.
A reliable source informs, “We have been test shooting scenes with a few fresh faces at the NDTV office for some time now. If all goes well we shall finalize the cast by January.”
"According to statistics released by the Maharashtra government, as many as 1,920 farmers have committed suicide between January 1, 2001 and August 19, 2006. Also, nearly 2.8 million of the 3.2 million cotton farmers are defaulters. The film is surely going to be an eye-opener that traces the real reasons for the collapse of the green revolution.”
