Darsheel Safary's audition video from Taare Zameen Par
The official X (formerly Twitter) account of Aamir Khan Productions posted the first audition clip they recorded of Darsheel on Sunday when they were looking for the lead role in the film. Darsheel played the role of Ishaan.
In the video, the camera is tuned towards Darsheel's face as he gets ready for school. He can be seen dressed in his school uniform and appears to be distracted while sitting in the classroom. When the teacher calls his name, he goes on to open his notebook.
In the clip, Aamir Khan says in a voiceover, ‘Mujhe yaad hein Darsheel ka maine jab test dekha… jaha Darsheel ka pehla shot aya aur usne dialogue bhi nahi bola tha. Aur mujhe yaad hein uska chehra dekh ke uski aankhein dekh ke maine kaha, ‘Ye bachcha hain! Yeh Ishaan hain.’ (This is the kid! This is Ishaan)"
