One thing Aamir Khan really doesn’t like is acrimonious aggression. So the actor, who has been locking horns with Javed Akhtar over the significance of lyricists in songs, has now tendered his resignation from the committee reviewing the proposed amendment in copyright laws. And it’s all owing to the committee members who seem to have a problem with all the suggestions coming from the fabled actor.
The committee, which was formed on January 4th to revise the copyright law, had Boney Kapoor, Javed Akhtar, Bhushan Kumar, Vishal Bhardwaj, Madhu Mantena, Mukesh Bhatt, Prasoon Joshi and Aamir Khan as its members.
Talking about Aamir’s rift with the committee, a source said, “Aamir felt that all his efforts were a waste because some people weren’t happy with his inputs on the issue. He also felt that people were just targeting him despite the fact that he had nothing to gain out of the matter. So after he read some reports in the media, he just decided to distance himself from it. He sent his resignation to Kapil Sibal yesterday evening.”
In his letter to Sibal, Aamir wrote, “I cannot make any meaningful contribution in this atmosphere. Aggression of this type leaves me feeling very disillusioned and sad and I am unable to function.”
The actor also told Sibal, “I believe that amendments to the Copyright Act are long overdue and I am so happy that a person like you is spearheading this movement. I believe that the changes that you are bringing about in the sphere of education are so dynamic, progressive and positive, that I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that you will do the same in the field of copyright.”
