Though “Taare Zameen Par” was a wonderful film but it failed to get an Oscar nomination in the foreign film category. To this the superstar Aamir Khan has said that he does not make films for “awards” but for the “audience”.
“I don’t make films for awards. I make films for the audience. The audience, for which I have made the film, really loved it and the audiences outside India have also loved it.
