In the said picture, we can see a 19-year-old Ayan posing with Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao who had attended the mahurat of the film and can be seen holding the clapperboard. Aamir was seen in his Mangal Pandey getup. Ayan was just nineteen and was working as an assistant director with his brother-in-law Ashutosh Gowariker.
Ayan’s post soon got a response from his sister Sunita Gowariker who had marked her debut as a producer with ‘Swades’. She praised her brother for being so clever and hardworking.
Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, critically acclaimed ‘Swades’ revolved around Shah Rukh’s character of a NASA employee. He comes home and works for the upliftment of his village. The movie also featured Gayatri Joshi.
