Sitaare Zameen Par first poster: Aamir Khan doesn't look pleased around a bunch of kids; film to release on June 20
Aamir Khan has finally unveiled the first poster of his next film, RS Prasanna's Sitaare Zameen Par. A spiritual sequel to Aamir's 2007 hit directorial debut Taare Zameen Par, Sitaare Zameen Par is slated to release in cinemas on June 20, after a couple of delays. The film also stars Genelia D'Souza opposite Aamir.
The poster features Aamir not looking very pleased, surrounded by 10 kids. His elbow rests on a basketball, thus hinting at a crucial backdrop the sport will serve in Sitaare Zameen Par, much like how art did in the first part. While that film launched Darsheel Safary as the lead actor, Aamir Khan Productions will launch 10 debutant actors with Sitaare Zameen Par.
Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar will make their debut with the film. They all have a presence and personality each in the first poster of Sitaare Zameen Par, as they surround Aamir's character.
While the tagline of Taare Zameen Par was 'Every child is special,' that of the sequel, as seen in the poster, is: 'Sabka apna apna normal' (Normal is to each their own). Aamir divulged details about the film during a recent visit to China. 'Thematically, it is going ten steps ahead. It is about people who are differently abled. It is about love, friendship and life. Taare Zameen Par made you cry but this film will make you laugh. It's a comedy but the theme is the same,' he said.
A film celebrating love, laughter and happiness. #SitaareZameenPar #SabkaApnaApnaNormal, 20th June Only In Theatres. @geneliad @r_s_prasanna @aparna1502 @AroushDatta #GopiKrishnanVarma #VedantSharmaa #NamanMisra #RishiShahani #RishabhJain #AshishPendse #SamvitDesai … pic.twitter.com/y9ohQkBSSQ

Aamir also revealed details about his character. 'My character, Nikumbh, in Taare Zameen Par was a very sensitive person. In this film my character's name is Gulshan but his personality is exactly opposite to Nikumbh. He is very rude, politically incorrect and he insults everybody. He fights with his wife, mother. He is a basketball coach and he beats up his senior coach. He is a person with a lot of internal problems,' he said.
'The story is about how he changes. How the ten people, some of whom have down syndrome, autism, different abilities teach him what it is to be a good human being. Originally this is a Spanish film and we have made an Indian version of that,' Aamir added. Sitaare Zameen Par is the Hindi adaptation of Javier Fresser's 2018 Spanish sports comedy Campeones.
The film is directed by RS Prasanna, who also directed Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017), a barrier-breaking blockbuster. He also produced and directed On A Quest, a biopic on Swami Chinmayananda Saraswathi, the teacher who Inspired the formation of the Chinmaya Mission. The screenplay is written by Divy Nidhi Sharma. The film is produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit. The lyrics are written by Amitabh Bhattacharya and music is given by Shankar-Easaan-Loy.

Aamir Khan addresses age gap with Genelia D'Souza in Sitaare Zameen Par: ‘Age is no longer a barrier for actors'
Aamir Khan is set to play Genelia D'Souza's husband in the upcoming emotional drama Sitaare Zameen Par. The pairing comes as a surprise to many, especially since it was Aamir who introduced Genelia to Hindi cinema back in 2008, casting her opposite his nephew Imran Khan in the hit rom-com Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. More than 15 years later, the duo are now cast as a married couple. Reacting to the unexpected pairing in a recent interview with Indian Express, Aamir acknowledged the irony with a laugh: 'Ya, I know. That thought did come to me. But that was a long time ago. And ab Imran bhi kaafi meri age ka ho gaya hai (laughs).' Addressing the age-gap and the magic of VFX In Sitaare Zameen Par, a Hindi remake of the 2018 Spanish film Campeones, both Aamir and Genelia play characters in their early 40s. While Aamir is now 60, he brushed off concerns about the age difference and credited technology and changing audience perceptions for helping bridge the gap. 'We have the advantage of VFX now,' he said. 'Earlier, if I had to play an 18-year-old, I had to rely on prosthetics — like Anil Kapoor did in Eeshwar (1989), when he played an 80-year-old. Today, you can look 80 or 40 or 20 on screen with seamless visual effects. So age is no longer a barrier for actors.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?

Made for Rs 2.5 crore, this film of Govinda was a blockbuster, Aamir Khan called it vulgar due to..., lead actress was ..
In the glittering galaxy of Bollywood, only a handful of stars have managed to sustain their stardom despite not doing movies for years. However, there is one star who made this possible, and it is none other than Govinda. He made his debut with the 1986 film Ilzaam, which turned out to be a hit. One of Govinda's biggest hits was released in 1993, which earned 10 times more than its budget. While the movie was a hit, it was Aamir Khan who called the film 'obscene.' If Shah Rukh is the 'King of Romance' in Bollywood, then Govinda is undoubtedly the 'King of Comedy'. He has delivered many big hits in his film career. One of his most special films is the 1993 film Aankhen, in which Govinda played a double role. Apart from Govinda, the movie also featured Chunky Pandey, Raageshwari, Ritu Shivpuri, Shilpa Shirodkar, Kader Khan, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Shakti Kapoor, and Raj Babbar in key roles. When Aankhen was released, it became a huge hit and went on to become the highest-grossing Indian film of 1993. Aamir Khan had said in an interview in 1993–94 that a film works because of a good story, and stars only boost its success. The host then asked Aamir Khan that if this is so, then how did a film like Aankhen do wonders at the box office even though its story was not good. Aamir said that though the director of the movie, David Dhawan, is his close friend, he still doesn't understand why he directed the movie. Calling some scenes obscene, Aamir said that he did not like the film. Aankhen was made for approximately Rs 2.5 crore. It earned Rs 25 crore at the box office and became the highest-grossing Indian film of 1993.

Aamir Khan on Laal Singh Chaddha's failure, depression, and how Farhan Akhtar was almost cast in Sitaare Zameen Par
Actor and producer Aamir Khan has spoken honestly about how the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha affected him deeply, saying he was 'depressed, heartbroken and emotionally battered' after the film didn't connect with most audiences. In a recent interview with Indian Express, Aamir addressed the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha. He said, 'It was quite shocking for me because I'd also liked the film. So I was very surprised that people didn't like it. Let me just add here, because I know a lot of people love the film, 25% of the audience has really loved the film. But I also have to admit that the larger bulk, 75% of them didn't connect with the film, they didn't like my work, they had their issues. I understand and respect that. But it was difficult for me to accept." Following the setback, Aamir talked about how he stepped back from acting and decided not to star in his next production, 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. He explained that director RS Prasanna was asked to look for another actor. Eventually, Farhan Akhtar was locked in for the role, with Sivakarthikeyan signed on for the Tamil version. 'That time, I told Prasanna I wouldn't be able to act again so soon. Since the film is good and we've to make it, I asked him to cast someone else. He offered the film to many people. Everyone liked the script, and then finally, we locked Farhan for it. We were also making a Tamil version because Prasanna is a Tamilian. So we locked Sivakarthikeyan for that one," said Aamir. Despite having second thoughts, Aamir chose to be upfront with Farhan and Sivakarthikeyan, who were both understanding. Aamir said, 'On the seventh day, I told Prasanna and Divya, but also said now it's too late. Of course, the moment I said that, all hell broke loose. They insisted I only do it. But I thought it doesn't reflect well on me as a producer after I've locked the actors' dates. But Prasanna convinced me and said I should do it since I was his first choice.' He then concluded, 'So, I told Farhan and Sivakarthikeyan honestly about the journey I'd been through. They were both very supportive. If I was in their shoes, I'd have been very disappointed. But at the end of the day, Farhan and I are friends. Sivakarthikeyan and I are also very fond of each other. I'm hosting a premiere, so I'll definitely invite them for that." Aamir will now return to the screen in 'Sitaare Zameen Par', which is scheduled to release in theatres on June 20. The film will also feature Genelia Deshmukh.
