The clip has quickly become a fan-favourite, highlighting the emotional connection the film has managed to create. Aamir's pay-per-view model Breaking new ground, Aamir has released Sitaare Zameen Par on his YouTube channel under a pay-per-view model, where viewers can watch the film for ₹100 per view following its theatrical release in June. Explaining the move, Aamir told The Times of India, 'We are able to reach only 2-3% of our population through theatres, even for the biggest hits. For a film like Sitaare Zameen Par, around one crore people would have watched it in theatres. In the absence of enough theatres being built, this model is perhaps the only way to reach the vast majority of India—especially with rising internet penetration.' About Sitaare Zameen Par Sitare Zameen Par, starring Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh, tells the uplifting story of Gulshan Arora, a hot-headed basketball coach who is assigned to train a team of adults with intellectual disabilities. Initially seeing it as punishment, Gulshan's journey becomes one of transformation, empathy, and redemption. The film is directed by RS Prasanna and is the official Hindi adaptation of the Spanish film Campeones. It also acts as a spiritual sequel to Aamir's 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par.

Aamir Khan Watches Sitaare Zameen Par With Jawans, Video Goes Viral
Aamir Khan has adopted the pay-per-view model on his YouTube channel for his latest film, Sitaare Zameen Par. Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par has won praises from all corners. He recently made headlines after a heartwarming video of him watching the film with Indian Army jawans surfaced on social media. The clip, which quickly went viral, shows the actor enjoying the film alongside soldiers, sharing smiles, laughter. In the video, shared by Viral Bhayani, we can see Aamir Khan enjoying watching film with jawans on YouTube. The video has been winning hearts on the internet. The film tells the inspiring story of a coach who trains a basketball team made up of neurodivergent children. The film features Aamir Khan in the lead role, alongside Genelia Deshmukh. Its blend of sports drama and social message resonated with audiences and translated into a positive box office performance. Watch the video here: How Aamir Khan Chooses Films 'I am not a fearless person. Before the release, you can't assume the film will work, at least my films. There were exceptions like Ghajini and Dhoom 3, where you could say yeh kuch toh karegi. But with the unusual ones, it's difficult to tell. I go with my instinct and my heart. So, I am not thinking about what the audience wants to see. I am thinking mujhe kya banana hai," he said. Why Is Aamir Khan Betting on Pay-Per-View? Aamir Khan has adopted the pay-per-view model on his YouTube channel for his latest film, Sitaare Zameen Par. After its theatrical release in June, the movie is now available online for Rs 100 per view. Reflecting on this approach, Aamir stated, 'We are able to reach only 2-3 per cent of our population in the theatrical business, and this is for the biggest hit. For a film like Sitaare Zameen Par, around one crore people would have watched it by the end of its theatrical run. In the absence of enough theatres being built, this model is perhaps the only way to reach the vast majority of India, especially with rising internet penetration." Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par tells the heartwarming story of Gulshan Arora (played by Aamir Khan), a hot-headed basketball coach assigned to train a team of adults with intellectual disabilities. What starts as a punishment soon transforms into a journey of acceptance, growth, and inclusion. The film is a spiritual sequel to 2007's Taare Zameen Par and is an official Hindi adaptation of the Spanish hit Campeones. Aamir Khan's Coolie: Aamir Khan will be making special appearance in Rajinikanth's Coolie which is releasing on August 14. At a recent pre-release event, the Sitaare Zameen Par star opened up about what drew him to the project—and his answer is pure admiration. In a candid confession, Aamir revealed that Coolie marks the first time in his career he signed a film without hearing a single line of narration. 'Lokesh came to meet me. I didn't know why he was coming to meet me. He said, 'It's for Coolie. I want you to do a role in the film.' The moment I got to know it's Coolie and Rajini Sir's film… after many, many years, probably for the first time, I have said yes to a film without hearing the script, without hearing anything," Aamir shared. The film is set for a grand Independence Day weekend release, where it will clash with Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan's War 2—making August 14 one of the year's biggest days at the box office. view comments First Published: August 13, 2025, 19:26 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
