At the moment Prasoon is immersed in giving poetry to Aamir's ambitious television show Satyamev Jayate.
Says Prasoon, "Basically the theme song is the essence of what Aamir is trying to achieve in the show. When I heard his ideas on what ails the country and how we can change it, I was utterly enthused. He showed me the footage he had shot all over the country, and I was overwhelmed.
I immediately wrote the first four lines of the song. He loved them. He started sharing all his ideas with me on the places that he had seen and the problems that he came across. He feels we take our country for granted. He wonders why we are always blaming the government for all the ills...we spoke for hours and days...I finally came up with the lines, ‘Mujhko khud ko hi hai tatolnaa, agar hai kami to bolnaa...'
If something bothers you about your country why not do something about it? I was able to express my love for my country through Aamir's show. "
In addition to Prasoon's poetry, Aamir has also used lines by other ancient and modern poets like Sant Kabir in Satyamev Jayate.
Prasoon has given a lot of his time to Aamir's Satyamev Jayate.
Says the writer, "I write a lot. I told Aamir that. I remember during Taare Zameen Par I had written a 7 ½ minute title song. At that time I had told Aamir I don't like any of what I write to be discarded.
Aamir had said, ‘I promise you, everything that you write will be used. ' He has kept his promise. For Satyam Jayate I wrote nine pages of poetry. And he has kept everything. I've just written one more song for the show. Whenever he needs more, I will give him more. "
Prasoon and Aamir are now working on their pet project.
Says Prasoon, "Aamir and I have been invited by the prime minister of India to make campaign films against malnutrition. It's a project very close to our hearts.
Every second child in India is malnourished. Aamir and I are doing 50 short films together on malnutrition. We both feel the same way about our art. We can't take flags and wave them on the streets. But Aamir and I can use our space as an actor and poet to create social awareness.
We connect because we don't compromise on our principles. I met Aamir when we were working on an advertisement. From then began our journey. I hope it continues. "
