Did Aamir Khan reject Rs 120 crore OTT deal for Sitaare Zameen Par, championing theatre-first release model? Here's what we know
Aamir Khan is once again taking an unconventional route with his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par. The actor has reportedly declined a massive Rs 120 crore offer from Amazon Prime Video for the film's digital rights, choosing instead to delay its OTT release in a bid to revive India's theatre-going culture. According to trade analyst Komal Nahta, Khan's decision is a calculated move to push audiences back into cinema halls. 'The idea is to make people choose the big screen experience again by not giving them the home-viewing option so soon," a source close to the development told News18. However, there has been no official statement from Aamir on the same. Aamir stands firm against early OTT releases Over the last few years, the industry has witnessed a swift shift toward streaming platforms, with most films dropping on OTT just a few weeks after their theatrical debut. Aamir Khan, however, believes this model has significantly contributed to the drop in footfalls at movie theatres. This isn't the first offer Khan has turned down either. Sources reveal that Netflix had also expressed interest in acquiring Sitaare Zameen Par, but the actor-producer reportedly declined that deal as well, firmly standing by a delayed digital release strategy.

The film is expected to carry a strong emotional core, much like Khan's critically acclaimed 2007 directorial Taare Zameen Par, and is already building buzz for its unique release strategy.

Salman Khan's Sikandar Makers Face Rs 91 Cr Piracy Loss, File Insurance Claim: Report
Last Updated: In a surprising twist, the pirated version of Sikandar contained scenes not included in the final theatrical cut. Salman Khan's latest film Sikandar has suffered a massive financial blow after being leaked online just hours after its release. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the piracy resulted in losses amounting to approximately Rs 91 crore for the production team. An insider told the publication, 'An audit was commissioned to assess the extent of the leak and the resulting impact on revenue. Ernst & Young (EnY) submitted a comprehensive report that pegged the loss at approximately Rs. 91 crore." The audit reportedly measured the difference between projected and actual earnings following the leak. Advanced tracking tools were used to monitor illegal downloads and streams, calculating the financial damage caused to the film's theatrical and digital revenue. 'Such audits often include a blend of data from ticketing platforms, distributor reports, and forensic tracing of piracy dissemination," the source added. 'The Rs. 91 crore figure wasn't arbitrary – it is rooted in a loss of potential theatrical and digital revenue." In a surprising twist, the pirated version of Sikandar contained scenes not included in the final theatrical cut. These included sequences such as medical students meeting Sikandar in Dharavi, an extended flashback highlighting Kamaruddin's health issues, and a heartfelt conversation where Sikandar learns about Rashmika Mandanna's character's dream of becoming a lawyer. The leaked version also included a pre-interval segment showing the challenges faced by Sikandar's team, a deleted moment of Vaidehi's suicide attempt, and an emotional cab scene with vadams. The inclusion of these unreleased scenes in the pirated version strongly indicates that the leak occurred after the film received its CBFC clearance. With losses piling up, the makers are reportedly filing an insurance claim to recover damages. The situation raises serious concerns about content security in the digital age, especially for high-budget Bollywood films. First Published: June 17, 2025, 23:58 IST
