Sitaare Zameen Par: New Song Good For Nothing Has A Connection With Aamir Khan's Song Papa Kehte Hain
The makers of Sitaare Zameen Par are kicking off the weekend early. The film's first single, Good for Nothing, will be released tomorrow, May 22, 2025.
On Wednesday, the makers dropped the song's teaser on Instagram. The video features Aamir Khan, as a basketball coach, training a team of individuals with special needs.
The upbeat track is sung by Shankar Mahadevan and Amitabh Bhattacharya, with music composed by the celebrated trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.

Ibrahim Ali Khan has to allow public to criticise him, says Sarzameen director Kayoze Irani: 'It will never get easier'
Actor Ibrahim Ali Khan is only two films old in the industry, but has already seen his fair share of criticism. His debut film, Nadaaniyan, saw some criticism come his way for his performance. His recent release, Sarzameen, also saw mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. Sarzameen director Kayoze Irani spoke to Hindustan Times in an exclusive chat about the feedback the film and Ibrahim received. Ibrahim Ali Khan in a still from Kayoze Irani's Sarzameen. On the criticism Ibrahim faced for Sarzameen Kayoze, the son of actor-director Boman Irani, says he understands that both he and Ibrahim come from privileged backgrounds when it comes to cinema. Ibrahim is the son of actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, and the younger brother of Sara Ali Khan. "Yes, I know that Ibrahim is a nepo kid, as am I," says Kayoze, adding, "He has come into the spotlight and put himself on a pedestal where he's allowing the country to judge him. There have been doors that may have been opened for him. So when you are up there, you have to, you have to allow the public to criticise you because this is the same public that will show you love." However, Kayoze says that the problem begins when the criticism is not constructive. "I have a problem when it's mean and it's nasty, and I have a problem when the comments are nasty without having seen the film because then you are taking joy in being nasty," he explains. However, the filmmaker adds that addressing the mean comments will not change anything. "For him, I don't think that my commenting on it or his commenting on it is changing that. What has to change is his coming and proving everybody wrong." 'Ibrahim and I have a lot to prove' Sarzameen stars Ibrahim alongside Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran, two veteran actors with decades of experience behind them. Kayoze says, "Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran have nothing to prove, but Ibrahim and Kayo have a lot to prove. So, I genuinely embrace the criticism. Yes, when it comes without having watched the film and when you are eagerly awaiting someone's failure, that is wrong." But the filmmaker believes that the audience has warmed up to Ibrahim more as compared to his debut film a few months ago. "I read all the reviews, I read all the YouTube comments, and the Instagram comments. I do feel that people have taken to him a lot more this time around. Now it's up to him to keep doing it, to keep signing and keep putting one step ahead of another. It's never going to get easier, for him or for me," he says Sarzameen is currently streaming on JioHotstar.

'Keep it real and sensible': Carey Price's wife Angela responds to Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad backlash
Angela Price, wife of NHL star Carey Price, is weighing in on the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad. As critics slam the campaign for promoting unrealistic beauty standards, Angela offers a grounded take—calling Sweeney 'incredibly attractive' and defending the brand's history of inclusivity from her own personal experience. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Angela Price breaks silence on Sydney Sweeney's 'good jeans' ad backlash Carey Price's wife, Angela Price, isn't one to shy away from hot-button topics—and her latest Instagram Q&A proves just that. As social media continues to debate Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle billboard that plays on the phrase 'good jeans' (a pun that critics say sexualizes and objectifies the actress), Angela chimed in with her own surprisingly grounded take. 'When I first saw it, I thought, 'Yeah, she definitely has great genes because she's incredibly attractive,'' Angela wrote. 'But hey, that's just my two cents from someone who likes to keep it real and sensible.' Angela's response stood out for its calm, measured tone at a time when the ad has become a cultural flashpoint. Critics claim it sends the wrong message by focusing too heavily on appearance and idealized beauty standards. Others have even called it racially insensitive. But Angela—who used to work with American Eagle herself—pushed back on that narrative. Angela defends American Eagle's history of diversity 'I have a soft spot for the AE brand; I spent a good part of my youth working with them,' she said. 'If you check out their past ads, they showcase people of all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and support diverse groups.' That quiet endorsement of the brand comes amid a social media firestorm, where people are accusing American Eagle of promoting a narrow definition of beauty. The brand, however, maintains the ad was never about anything other than denim: 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Her jeans. Her story.' Also Read: Angela and Carey now live in Kelowna, British Columbia, with their three children. While Carey remains sidelined from the NHL due to injury, Angela continues to share moments of her family life—and occasionally, a few sharp opinions—with her thousands of followers.

Katy Perry's ex takes cheeky jab at her romance buzz with Justin Trudeau: ‘Friends or not?'
Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry seemed to make an 'instant connection' over dinner and then at a concert last month. The singer's ex-fiance, Orlando Bloom, is apparently enjoying the buzz around the new rumored romance. While there is no concrete evidence to confirm Trudeau and Perry's relationship status, reports suggest that they are 'interested in each other'. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom appear at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills(Evan Agostini/Invision/AP) The former Canadian prime minister and the pop star were recently seen enjoying dinner in Montreal, and Trudeau also attended her sold-out Lifetimes Tour concert at Bell Centre. PEOPLE quoted a source saying that the two had an 'instant connection', but any relationship between them is in the 'early stages'. However, soon memes targeted Katy Perry's ex, Orlando Bloom. Orlando Bloom responds to viral post Satirical outlet The Onion poked fun at Perry's romance rumors with Trudeau by pretending to set Bloom up with another former world leader - Angela Merkel. 'Orlando Bloom Spotted At Dinner With Angela Merkel,' a headline from The Onion, shared on Friday, read. The Instagram post was accompanied by what appeared to be an AI-generated image of the actor and the former Chancellor of Germany enjoying a candlelit meal together. "Just weeks after announcing his split with fiancée Katy Perry, English actor Orlando Bloom was photographed Friday dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel,' the newspaper further joked. 'Angela kept Orlando laughing all night — he couldn't keep his eyes off her!' said an insider source who spotted the pair sipping wine, slurping oysters, and splitting a decadent piece of chocolate layer cake at a Michelin-starred restaurant,' it added. Orlando Bloom was quick to react. Rather than brushing off The Onion's joke, the actor applauded, commenting '👏👏👏' on the post. Bloom did not elaborate. Last month, PEOPLE cited a source to report that Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have 'a lot in common'. 'They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes. She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common,' the source said.
