It’s just been a week since the Screen Awards were announced but the honours seem to have rankled Darsheel Safary, the young protagonist of Aamir Khan’s directorial debut Taare Zameen Par .

Darsheel, who is by now used to people stopping by and giving him a pat on his back for his performance, has some reservations with the way the Screen Awards placed him under the Best Child Actor category instead of the Best Actor one.

"I’m also a lead actor na . Saif Ali Khan in Tara Rum Pum was a lead actor, there were two kids in it but he was a lead actor," Darsheel tried to explain.

And even before you can say anything, Darsheel comes up with a disclaimer claiming that he was happy once he also received the special jury award at the same ceremony.

"I’m very happy with the jury award," the little actor hastened to add.

The Screen Awards for their part stand by its decision. "The jury stands by what they have said, ’we realise that Darsheel is a child and we understand his disappointment but he must realise that not everyone can win’," Editor of Screen Priyanaka Sinha said.

But there is a pertinent question that begs to be answered, if Aamir Khan was nominated in the best supporting actor category for Taare Zameen Par and if Darsheel won a best child artiste award for the same film then who would be the right person for best male actor in a lead role for the film?

Taare Zameen Par was not only Aamir Khan’s directorial debut, it was also the debut of clay-animation in Bollywood.

After dazzling the advertising world, clay animation has found its way to Bollywood as well.

Aamir Khan’s directorial debut Taare Zameen Par was also Bollywood’s first attempt at using claymation, clay-animation or animation created using clay. Animation Film Designer Dhimant Vyas who worked on the title sequence of Taare Zameen Par , gave way to his imagination even as he identified with Ishaan’s character. Giving shape to clay and giving them an almost life like state is Vyas’s forte and that’s exactly why Aamir Khan took notice of claymation.

"Aamir wanted me to use animals for the imagination sequence and not humans," says Dhimant Vyas.

Dhimant, a graduate from the National Institute of Design, heaves a sigh of relief as Bollywood is finally opening its doors to the world of animation, even as India continues to be a front-runner for outsourcing for major animation studios in Hollywood.

"Its nice that Bollywood is opening up to animation," says Dhimant.

Bollywood actors are spending most of their money on taxes.

It is because of them that so much of money is going into our treasury and that is really good for us too, But wonder if the government is making good use of it.

Although few of us had not even paid tax till now..

So here Presents the top Bollywood tax payers.

Top individual advance income taxpayers in Bollywood of 2007-2008 till December 31..

Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar- Rs 7 crore:Consecutive hits like Bhool Bhulaiya and Welcome have really added to the stunt man’s purse.

Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan-Rs 3 crore: Last year he paid around 6 crore.This time it has become
half the amount. Tax collectors however, are rejoicing with Taare Zameen Par’s
success. TZP has been a hit at the box office which is real good news for the
treasuery.

Shahrukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan-27 Rs crore:Om Shanti Om and Chak De India, besides money earned from advertisements have enabled him to contribute so much.

Abhishek Bachchan

Abhishek Bachchan- Rs 3.7 crore Not many releases this year caused him to pay so less this time. Also, the man was busy with his newly wedded wife (Aishwarya Rai).

Himesh Reshammiya

Himesh Reshammiya-Rs 2.5 crore: With more singing contracts in hand even his Tax payment has increased.

Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan :-Rs 1.8 crore:Well this is actually surprising. Big B seems to be in almost all the movies and he is paying so less. Tax officials please look nto the matter.

Working hard and shedding out in crores is painful sometimes especially for these actors. Everything has its price, including stardom.

What say??

Taare Zameen Par – Ishaan Awasthi is an eight-year-old whose world is filled with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate; colours, fish, dogs and kites are just not important in the world of adults, who are much more interested in things like homework, marks and neatness. And Ishaan just cannot seem to get anything right in class.

When he gets into far more trouble than his parents can handle, he is packed off to a boarding school to “be disciplined’. Things are no different at his new school, and Ishaan has to contend with the added trauma of separation from his family.

One day a new art teacher bursts onto the scene, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who infects the students with joy and optimism. He breaks all the rules of “how things are done’ by asking them to think, dream and imagine, and all the children respond with enthusiasm, all except Ishaan. Nikumbh soon realizes that Ishaan is very unhappy, and he sets out to discover why. With time, patience and care, he ultimately helps Ishaan find himself.
