‘Sitaare Zameen Par': First look of Aamir Khan's next out; film also gets a release date
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan's production banner Aamir Khan Productions on Monday (May 5) unveiled the first look poster of the much-awaited Sitaare Zameen Par. Further, the makers also revealed that the film, a spiritual sequel to 2007's Taare Zameen Par, will release in theatres on June 20.
The first look features Aamir along with ten debutant actors — Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. The poster hints at another emotional and enchanting tale in the same vein as Taare Zameen Par. 'Sabka apna apna normal,' is written as the tagline of the film.
Sitaare Zameen Par, which wrapped its shooting in June last year, features Genelia Deshmukh as the female lead. The film is directed by RS Prasanna, best known for helming Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and On A Quest, a biopic on Swami Chinmayananda Saraswathi.
With a screenplay written by Divy Nidhi Sharma, Sitaare Zameen Par has music scored by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy and lyrics written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Aamir and Aparna Purohit serve as the producers. Notably, the film marks Aamir's return to the silver screen after 2022's Laal Singh Chaddha.
2007's Taare Zameen Par, which was directed by Aamir himself, revolved around an eight-year-old gifted boy, Ishaan, played by Darsheel Safary. Aamir played his art teacher who discovers Ishaan is dyslexic and helps him explore his true potential. The film turned out to be a blockbuster and is widely considered a cult classic in Hindi cinema. The story the upcoming spiritual sequel is set to tell remains unknown, however, the first look poster has certainly added to the hype.

Aamir Khan reveals why Imran Khan does not fit in the industry: 'He's not comfortable with herogiri'
Imran Khan made his debut with 'Jaane Jaane Na' and Aamir Khan was one of the producers on the film. While Imran was loved in his first film and went on to do movies like 'Break Ke Baad', 'Delhi Belly' and many others, he took a long break from the industry and hasn't done a movie in a while. In a recent interview, while Aamir was promoting his upcoming film 'Sitaare Zameen Par', he spoke about why Imran doesn't fit in the industry. He said in an interview with Screen, "Imran has a certain creative instinct. He finds it difficult to fit into the mainstream construct we have. That's not his natural space. Which is why he'd do really well in a film like Jaane Tu and Delhi Belly. He's in his element there." He added further, 'But the moment you put him into a regular Hindi film, he won't fit. He's not comfortable with herogiri. He wants to play a real person. Everybody was offering him mainstream films because he's good-looking. But he wants to be an actor, and not a star." Imran was away from the limelight for a while, but recently, his Instagram posts created a lot of buzz. He started expressing himself on social media. In an interview with Vogue, he also opened up on the reason for his break from the industry. He said, "I hit a low in 2016 where I felt broken inside. At that point, it wasn't my career because I wasn't excited by it enough to want to work hard for it. I had recently become a father and thought, 'This is valuable. This is something I take seriously.' I wanted to be the best version of myself for Imara. I decided it was no longer my job to be an actor. Now, I had to fix myself; be at my healthiest and strongest for my daughter." Imran was married to Avantika and got divorced in 2019. They have a daughter, Imara. Imran is now in a relationship with Lekha Washington.
