Aamir Khan To Return To Iconic Lagaan Village For THIS Special Reason
Aamir Khan returns to the iconic Lagaan village near Bhuj for a special screening of Sitaare Zameen Par, now streaming on YouTube via his channel.
Aamir Khan's Lagaan is one of his most loved films to date, and now the actor is returning to a village near Bhuj, the place where he shot the Oscar-nominated film over two decades ago. This time, the actor returns for a special screening of his latest blockbuster Sitaare Zameen Par, bringing with him not just nostalgia, but also a new wave of storytelling.
The screening is part of a heartfelt initiative by Khan to bring cinema closer to the people. The film, which has already earned widespread praise across India, is now available for audiences on YouTube under a pay-per-view model. Proudly referring to the platform as 'Janta Ka Theatre," Khan emphasises the democratisation of film access, particularly for audiences in rural and remote regions.
About Sitaare Zameen Par
Aamir Khan Productions has proudly presented 10 rising stars: Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. Directed by R. S. Prasanna, who previously helmed the barrier-breaking blockbuster Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, he now returns with his biggest collaboration yet, Sitaare Zameen Par under Aamir Khan Productions.
Made under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Sitaare Zameen Par stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh in lead roles, along with 10 rising stars. The lyrics are penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, and the music is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The screenplay is written by Divy Nidhi Sharma. The film is produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, with B. Shrinivas Rao and Ravi Bhagchandka as producers. Directed by R. S. Prasanna, the film was released in theatres on June 20, 2025.
Aamir Khan and his team launched a new YouTube channel a few months ago named Aamir Khan Talkies. Recently, at a special event, the actor revealed that he named the channel Aamir Khan Talkies because he always intended to release his films on the platform.
'This was the reason why I did not give away the rights of my film Sitaare Zameen Par, as this plan was already in motion. Our plan is to release every film under the Aamir Khan Productions banner on YouTube, after they complete their theatrical run. Each movie will be available at a minimal cost of ₹100," said Aamir, while speaking about his channel, which already has over three lakh subscribers.

Archana Puran Singh Teases Son Aaryamann Sethi About Girlfriend Yogita Bihani: "He is Getting Food Packed For Her Everywhere"
New Delhi: Archana Puran Singh's vlog is all about famjam moment and foodgasm. In her latest vlog, Archana Puran Singh and her husband Parmeet Sethi, sons Aaryamann and Ayushmaan are seen exploring Sindhi food at different outlets in Mumbai's Chembur area. What's Happening The vlog begins with them tasting dal pakwan for the first time. The next one on their list is Chole Bhature which they found irresistable. Speaking about her YouTube channel, Archana admitted that she has inkling if people would be interested in watching her family. But the success of the channel made her believe that she was "sidelined" in the industry. After tasting dal pav, Aaryaman immediately asked the vendor to pack a portion. Archana noticed that he was getting the same snacks he had just eaten packed for his girlfriend, actor Yogita Bihani. She chimed in, "Ye bichara apni grihasthi ko pachane ke liye jaha ja raha hai vaha se pack karva raha hai (This poor guy is packing all the snacks to preserve his family life)." The family also enjoyed pani puri at a local outlet. Previously, Yogita Bihani, joined the family on a biryani hunt across Mumbai. Throughout the vlog, the family teased Aaryamann about his 'true love' while trying out various popular biryani spots in the city. Background Yogita Bihani, known for her roles in Vikram Vedha and The Kerala Story, also spoke in the vlog about being recognised for her appearances in Aaryamann's videos more than her acting work. "There was this mother-daughter duo who curiously asked me, 'Are you Yogita?' I was like, 'Yeah... hi...' Then they said, 'We saw you in Aary Vlogs.' Her mother was also like, 'She is the same girl, right?' Then they clicked pictures with me. They told me, 'You two please continue to make vlogs, you look too good together.' I even told them, 'Actually, Aary was going to come here but because my flight landed early, he hasn't arrived yet.' They looked disappointed to have missed him," she shared. In A Nutshell
