But when he narrated the script to her, she surprised him by saying yes. The only minor hiccup came during the filming of “Dekho Na”, the sensuous rain song with Aamir Khan. In this edition of SCREEN Spotlight, ahead of the film’s 20th anniversary, the filmmaker recalled how he challenged the conventions of depicting a blind girl on screen, and the ensemble cast he rounded up for Fanaa — Tabu, Satish Shah, and that one-scene cameo by Lara Dutta. Since Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s critically acclaimed film Black released just a year prior, and starred Kajol’s cousin Rani Mukerji as a blind girl, what was your brief to her so that her visually challenged character comes out differently? We never gave her dark sunglasses. Because I wanted to play with her eyes. I wanted the hero and the audience to look into her eyes. I …
