Genelia D'Souza asks why film industry can't offer her a role like Sitaare Zameen Par: ‘They think I'm married so I don't need this character'
Genelia D'Souza will be next seen as Aamir Khan's wife in RS Prasanna's coming-of-age sports comedy Sitaare Zameen Par, slated to release in cinemas on June 20. In a recent interview, Genelia revealed she auditioned thrice for the part, but didn't mind it because she wanted to do a layered role like Sunita, her character in the film. 'When people got to know I'm doing Sitaare Zameen Par, everybody said, 'Oh my god! So lucky! You're doing an Aamir Khan film!' I said of course, that's Aamir sir's bigness that he saw something in me. Of course, he made me audition. But you could also do that, right? You could also offer me a role,' said Genelia in an interview with Filmymantra Media. She continued, 'But you go as per the norms. Maybe you think I'm married so I don't need this character. I just feel filmmaking has changed, and so should our mentality. It's very important that if you want a character of a certain age, you should cast someone of that age. When we cast an actor who's much younger than the character I played, they can't understand the little-little things of it. It's important to cast right. And I hope opportunities go everyone's way.' Interestingly, Genelia D'Souza's first film with Aamir Khan Productions was Abbas Tyrewala's 2008 cult romantic comedy Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, in which she was cast opposite Aamir's nephew Imran Khan in his debut film. Aamir recently opened up on casting Genelia in an interview with SCREEN. 'That was a long time ago. And ab Imran bhi kafi meri age ka ho gaya hai (Now Imran is also quite close to my age),' Aamir quipped. 'That thought did come to me, but in the film, we're both playing characters in the age group of early 40s. She's around that age. I'm 60, but in today's day and age, we have the advantage of VFX,' reasoned Aamir. He added that casting Genelia was director RS Prasanna's idea. In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, Prasanna claimed that Genelia is hugely popular in the South, from where he hails. 'Working with Genelia has been such a pleasure. She's full of positive energy. She's a great actor, and we love her in the South! Apparently, she's done all languages — Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and now, Marathi, obviously,' pointed out Prasanna.

Her first Tamil film was Boys in 2003, first Telugu movie was Satyam the next year, Kannada film debut was Satya My Love in 2008, and maiden Malayalam movie was Urumi in 2011. She made a full-fledged acting debut in Marathi with her husband Riteish Deshmukh's 2022 directorial debut Ved.

Eleven OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Naveen Chandra and Reyaa Hari's film online
Poster of Eleven | Credits: Instagram Eleven OTT Release Date: Naveen Chandra has recently arrived in the theatres with this Tamil-Telugu-lingual thriller alongside Reyaa Hari. Released globally on May 16, the crime caper is written and directed by Lokkesh Ajls. For all the OTT lovers, the treat is coming your way. Eleven is all set to stream on Aha Tamil starting June 13, 2025. Eleven's cast and crew Eleven is produced by Ajmal Khan and Reyaa Hari under the banner of AR Entertainment. Other than the lead duo, the film also stars Shashank, Abhirami, Dileepan, Riythvika, Aadukalam Naren, Ravi Varma, Arjai and Kireeti Damaraju among others. This D. Imman musical is cinematographed by Karthik Ashokan and edited by N. B. Srikanth. Eleven's plot overview A series of murders targeting twins leads detective Aravind to investigate a masked killer named Benjamin. The killer is manipulating surviving twins into murdering their own siblings. As Aravind, assisted by Officer Manohar, pieces together clues, he uncovers the horrifying pattern behind the murders. A significant flashback reveals the killer's troubled past at a school, highlighting issues of neglect. Eleven's review The Times of India rated the movie 2.5 out of 5, and a part of their review read, 'The film guides you by the hand, showing you exactly where it's going. You're not so much solving it with Aravind as you are waiting for him to confirm what feels increasingly obvious. The events never get a chance to unfold naturally. The slightly ambivalent ending is a welcome touch over a neat resolution. At least it knew when to leave some questions hanging.' Do you think Eleven will find its due on OTT?
