`"There were no creative differences ... There was no interference from him but yes there were lot of inputs. But he never stepped on my toes, he never forced me," Reema told PTI in an interview here.

"From the time Aamir has come on board he has been very helpful from taking this script to making it into a very good film," she said.

Though its a first where Reema is directing Aamir, but she has been an assistant for his films like 'Lagaan' and 'Dil Chahta Hai'.

"He is co-operative, supportive and its wonderful to work with him. He is a very talented actor, he has got wonderful inputs. Aamir is obsessive about films and so am I. I know he followed me. He was respectful of me being a director," Reema said.

 

"I have worked with him while I was assisting during 'Lagaan', 'Dil Chahta Hai' so I knew him from before. I was comfortable and there was no such problem," she said.

Aamir has been accused of being interfering in the past while working on 'Taare Zameen Par' and 'Peepli Live'.

'Talaash' has a stellar cast comprising of Aamir, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and others.

"Both Rani and Kareena are the finest actresses but have different process of approaching their work. Rani needs a lot of preparation.. She wants to know everything while Kareena is completely opposite," Reema said. (MORE)
