Actor-filmmaker Aamir Khan will launch the DVD of his directorial debut Taare Zameen Par at Green Lawns, the school of the film's lead actor Darsheel Safary in Mumbai on Friday.

Aamir said he strongly feels that principals and school teachers play a key role in the education of a child. "In fact, Darsheel's principal set an example of how educators should allow a child to follow their dreams. She has been very helpful in giving Darsheel permission to shoot and adjusted his education on the sets," he said.

Aamir said he has been working relentlessly for the last six months to make the DVD package special. He has included various value adds to make the DVD, a collector's item.

The DVD box contains the film's background score, one hour show of educators, principals, teachers and parents talking about various learning disabilities of a child, deleted scenes with an explanation of why they don't feature in the film in Aamir's voice.

The DVD also has 'director's commentary' by Aamir on why he chose this subject and its significance. "There are two important paintings that change the protagonist-Ishaan Avasthi's life in the film--his flip book and pencil. Besides, there are 100 pictures from behind the scenes with each one having a customized caption by Aamir himself.

Aamir said his blog is testimonial of the number of requests he has been getting to launch the film's DVD soon.

His production house's first film Lagaan was launched in DVD format after almost six years of its theatrical release.

However with Taare Zameen Par, Aamir said he was very keen to launch it immediately as it is an important film in respect of children's education.
