Last Updated: While he didn't make it to the final list of the 10 young stars central to the story, Maitreya still considers his involvement in the project as a memorable Aamir Khan is gearing up for his next film Sitaare Zameen Par, which is releasing on June 20. The film focuses on special children and how Aamir Khan trains them. Recently, Maitreya Matale, who also gave an audition and got selected, opened up about his experience working on Aamir Khan's latest film. He expressed gratitude. While he didn't make it to the final list of the 10 young stars central to the story, Maitreya still considers his involvement in the project as a memorable milestone, particularly his appearance in the 'Shubhmangalam' track. Taking to his Instagram handle, Maitreya Matale shared photos from sets featuring Aamir Khan. He revealed that he was not selected for the final film. 'Taare Zameen Par' has been very special and will always be… and now can't wait for 'Sitaare Zameen Par'! I was lucky to be amongst the initially short-listed 18 special needs youngsters and will always cherish memories of the acting workshop & basketball session. Had absolutely enjoyed it. Though I couldn't be one of the 10 final 'Sitaare', was happy to be a bit part of the fun song – 'Shubhmangalam'. Was so happy to meet Prasanna Sir again and spend 3 full days on the set of this wonderful film. Though my appearance in the song may be blink-and-you- miss-it type, I feel extremely lucky to have seen the making of this uniquely different, great film by @aamirkhanproductions Thank you Aamir Sir & Prasanna Sir for the wonderful opportunity @ @ 'Sitaare Zameen Par' releasing in theatres on June 20th. Don't miss it guys," read the caption.

Aamir Khan is back on the big screen after a three-year break, and this time he's challenging Bollywood's OTT-dominated landscape. His film Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, has been held back from a lucrative Rs 120 crore offer from Amazon Prime Video. Aamir believes this theatrical-first model is essential to revitalise cinema. But the gamble hasn't sparked audience excitement yet. Early data from released Wednesday morning, shows a modest Rs 99.74 lakh in advance bookings for opening day—amounting to 38,770 seats sold across 6,128 shows. Meanwhile, after days of speculation surrounding a possible delay, Aamir Khan's much-anticipated film, Sitaare Zameen Par, has officially received its clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), confirming its theatrical release on June 20, 2025. The film, billed as a spiritual successor to Khan's critically acclaimed 2007 drama Taare Zameen Par, had recently made headlines over reports suggesting a dispute between the actor-producer and the CBFC regarding proposed cuts. While neither party issued a public statement about the nature of the disagreement, it appears the issue has now been resolved. First Published:
