The Wait Gets Longer
Bollywood’s perfectionist Aamir Khan has postponed the release of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, which was earlier slated for Christmas 2024. Speaking at the Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah, Khan shared insights into the project’s development and disclosed the new timeline.

Why the Delay?
Khan revealed that the film is set to enter post-production later this month, with a mid-2025 release now in the pipeline. This shift allows the team additional time to refine the film and deliver a polished product to audiences.

Not a Direct Sequel
While Sitaare Zameen Par has drawn comparisons to Aamir Khan’s 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par, the actor clarified that the new film is not a sequel. “This is a fresh story with new characters and situations,” Khan stated. “Thematically, it aligns with Taare Zameen Par, but the narrative stands on its own.”

Storyline Highlights
Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par is inspired by the Spanish movie Champions. The film delves into the lives of characters with Down Syndrome, weaving a story of resilience, acceptance, and humanity.

Stellar Cast Line-Up
Joining Khan in this socially poignant drama are Darsheel Safary, who famously starred in Taare Zameen Par, and Genelia D’Souza. Their inclusion has heightened anticipation for the film’s release.

Aamir’s Legacy of Quality Films
Aamir Khan is known for his commitment to socially relevant cinema, and Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to follow suit. The actor’s decision to delay the release reflects his unwavering dedication to delivering impactful storytelling with exceptional production value.
