Sitaare Zameen Par, the much-anticipated spiritual sequel to Aamir Khan’s 2007 blockbuster Taare Zameen Par, is generating significant buzz among Bollywood fans. Directed by R.S. Prasanna and produced by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao under Aamir Khan Productions, this Hindi-language sports drama promises a heartwarming blend of humor, emotion, and social relevance. Here’s everything we know about Sitaare Zameen Par so far.
What Is Sitaare Zameen Par About?
Sitaare Zameen Par (translated as Stars on Earth) is a thematic sequel to Taare Zameen Par, which explored the struggles of a dyslexic child and the transformative role of a compassionate teacher. While the 2007 film was an emotional journey that highlighted learning disabilities, Sitaare Zameen Par takes a lighter, more humorous approach while continuing to focus on inclusivity and mental health.
The film is inspired by the 2018 Spanish movie Champions, which was based on the real-life story of the Aderes basketball team in Valencia, Spain, a team of intellectually disabled athletes who won multiple championships.
As per reports, in Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan will play Gulshan, an alcoholic coach who is politically incorrect, rude, and initially insensitive. His character undergoes a transformation as he mentors a team of specially-abled children aiming to compete in the Paralympics. Unlike Taare Zameen Par, where Aamir’s character helped a struggling child, this film flips the narrative: the children with challenges help the “normal” coach find redemption.
Sitaare Zameen Par Release Date
The official release date is locked for June 20, 2025, as announced by Aamir Khan in a recent interview with Pinkvilla.
