What about your other production, Jaane Tu Jaane Na? 

I am producing this film written and directed by Abbas Tyrewala
starring my nephew Imraan. He is also my cousin Mansoor's nephew.
Mansoor has actually been the producer on the film since I was busy
with Taare Zameen Par.
I called him to supervise and help on this film. It's a lovely story.
Genelia is the heroine. A R Rahman has done the music. The entire cast
and crew has all young and enthusiastic people, and you can see that
energy on screen. 

You are doing another First by giving Royalities to A R Rahman for this film

Yes not only to A R Rahman but also to Shankar Ehsaan Loy. I've done it
in the past. I have been giving royalties to Ashutosh Gowarikar for Lagaan.
I believe that the person who writes or creates something is the
original creator and deserves some percentage of the profits even as
the time goes by.

Harris Jayraj's original music score is fabulous, what about the remake? 

I loved the original music score. In the Hindi remake, the music is
being composed by A R Rahman who again of course is a very talented
person. But I have to say I loved the original music score very much
including the background score. I thought it was very good. I really
liked the film. So, when I saw the film I was really taken aback for
the kind of film that is is. On the script level we have changed five
to ten percent towards the end of the film. Other than that we are
making the same film.
