Aamir Khan has officially set the stage for one of the most anticipated films of the year — Sitaare Zameen Par, the spiritual sequel to his 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on June 20, 2025, and marks the return of both Aamir and TZP child actor Darsheel Safary, along with Genelia Deshmukh in a key role.
Unveiling the first poster, Aamir gave fans a peek into the world of Sitaare Zameen Par, which features him as a basketball coach leading a team of 10 debutant actors, including Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Vedant Sharma, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, Ayush Bhansali, Samvit Desai, and Simran Mangeshkar. The tagline, “Sabka Apna Apna Normal,” suggests a continuation of the original’s empathetic and inclusive spirit, this time shifting its focus toward individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The poster shows a close-up of Aamir Khan’s face at the top, with another image of him resting his head on a basketball in the lower section, flanked by his young team — a setup that has drawn mixed reactions. While many fans were overwhelmed with nostalgia and praised the message, others were critical of the poster design, saying it leaned too heavily on the aesthetics of Taare Zameen Par without delivering a fresh visual impact.
Social media reactions were divided:
- “Aamir Khan never fails to bring meaningful stories. This one looks special too!”
- “The tagline ‘sabka apna apna normal’ is so beautiful 😍”
- “Could have done it without his enlarged face giving nothing…”
- “The poster doesn’t look good to me, but please be a good movie. I still cry watching Taare Zameen Par.”
While some netizens worry that Sitaare Zameen Par may not match up to the emotional depth of its predecessor, many remain hopeful. Based on the critically acclaimed Spanish film Champions (2018), the story is expected to blend humor, heart, and sensitivity in a way that highlights the dignity and individuality of people with disabilities, much like TZP did for children with dyslexia.
With Aamir Khan back both in front of and behind the camera, anticipation is sky-high.
