‘Sitaare Zameen Par' director RS Prasanna breaks silence on remake talk: 'The film will have the answers'
After an eight-year break from directing, RS Prasanna is back with 'Sitaare Zameen Par', a film that blends sports drama with heartwarming emotion. Best known for his 2017 film 'Shubh Mangal Savdhaan', which dealt with erectile dysfunction in a light-hearted and sensitive way, Prasanna now turns his lens toward a new challenge: a grumpy basketball coach training a team of kids with special needs. Not worried about remake talk The trailer for 'Sitaare Zameen Par' came out over a month ago and was loved by many for its touching story and Aamir Khan 's performance. But some viewers noticed it looked very similar to the Spanish film 'Campeones' and its Hollywood remake 'Champions' Despite these talks, RS Prasanna is not bothered. In an interview with Hindustan Times, he said, "I just feel the film will have the answers. It is best for the director to talk through the film. As far as I am concerned, there is so much love for the film. I am consumed by that." When asked further about whether the remake buzz bothers him, his answer remains simple and resolute, 'I am just consumed by the love for the film.' Aamir Khan on the remake debate Aamir Khan, too, addressed the criticism regarding 'Sitaare Zameen Par' being possibly another remake. While speaking on Raj Shamani's podcast earlier this month, the actor reflected on how his previous film, 'Laal Singh Chaddha', also faced flak for being a remake of the Hollywood classic 'Forrest Gump'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'After Laal Singh, a lot of people told me, 'you are making a remake again'. Laal Singh was trolled heavily for being a remake. But I am a different kind of person. I don't understand practical things. I don't have any problem with a remake, and I don't feel my creativity is diminishing at all. For me, it is new work. Someone else made this story, and I am giving it my perspective,' Aamir said. Training the 'Sitaare' Aamir isn't the only one doing something different with this film. Prasanna's directorial comeback is unique not just for its subject, but also for its cast. The film features ten young actors with intellectual disabilities, all of whom were selected for their raw passion for performance. 'You don't climb Mount Everest because it's easy. You do it for the glory. You love the adrenaline rush. In the 10 sitaare we have cast, all we were looking for was that keeda (itch) to act. Everything else can be taught,' Prasanna shared. To help them bring their best to the screen, the production team created a mini acting school complete with acting and clowning workshops, much like what any newcomer in the industry might go through. While not a direct continuation, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is being described as a spiritual sequel to Aamir's beloved 2007 film 'Taare Zameen Par', which told the story of a child with dyslexia and the teacher who changed his life. The earlier film touched millions with its sensitive handling of learning disabilities, and 'Sitaare Zameen Par' aims to channel a similar spirit, though through a new lens, sport.

Gill primed to take international stage by storm: Kirsten
Former head coach Gary Kirsten has backed India's new Test captain Shubman Gill to 'take the international stage by storm' in the marquee five-match series against England, starting in Leeds on Friday. Kirsten, who was the mentor of IPL side Gujarat Titans that is led by Gill, feels the 25-year-old has all that it takes to be a good leader. 'I think Shubman is going to be a great leader. He's a smart cricketer -- he's got a good brain for the game and understands his game. He's very talented and a nice human being, which I think is really important,' Kirsten told 'JioHotstar.' 'When you come into these leadership positions, you're going to be put under pressure, and your leadership will be tested. For any young leader, your ability to learn how to lead, improve, and grow is constantly under scrutiny. But I believe he has all the raw materials to become a really good leader,' he added. Kirsten said from whatever he has seen of Gill, the Punjab player delivers on what he says. Gill has played only 32 Tests and averages just over 30 in the format. 'The one thing I really like about Shubman is that he walks the talk. He's very organised, very diligent with his training and preparation, and that sets a great example for other players. I think he's primed to take on the international stage by storm,' the South African batting great said. Gill faces a stern challenge leading the side in testing English conditions, and he has to show patience and composure to succeed on the demanding tour, feels former head coach Ravi Shastri. With India going through a transition phase following the retirements of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin, the BCCI has entrusted Gill to lead the Indian Test team. 'I think, take your time,' Shastri said on 'The ICC Review', offering his initial guidance to the 25-year-old Gill. 'It's not going to be easy. He's (Gill) been asked to do a tough job, that is to captain India on a tour of England.' It is still early days in Gill's Test career, with the youngster amassing 1893 runs at an average of 35.05 in 32 matches, since making his debut in December 2020. Besides his batting, Gill's leadership skills will be put to test in England, where India last won a Test series in 2007. Shastri believes the tour to England could be learning exposure for Gill, who has the experience of captaining Gujarat Titans in the IPL. 'It's never easy, but I think he will learn from this exposure. What I saw of him in the IPL with the Gujarat Titans, he seemed very composed and calm. He's got a good temperament,' he said.

‘Sitaare Zameen Par' review: A well-intentioned, often heart-warming and simplistic tale
The Spanish film Campeones (2018), directed and co-written by Javier Fesser, was based on a true story of a team made up of people with intellectual disabilities. Campeones inspired Bobby Farrelly's Champions (2023) and now finds its way to India as Sitaare Zameen Par. Directed by RS Prasanna, Campeones has been cut to fit its lead star Aamir Khan, whose saviour complex resulted in films like Taare Zameen Par, Dangal and Laal Singh Chaddha, in which he played a hero who not only helps characters realise their potential but also underlines the message for audiences to comprehend. This approach worked particularly well for the dyslexia-themed Taare Zameen Par. Sitaare Zameen Par carries the thought further by having the protagonist interact not with one maladjusted child but with a bunch of players with autism and Down's syndrome. Khan plays Gulshan, a basketball coach with more complexes that he knows what to do with. His short stature bothers him; his father's abandonment makes him avoid fatherhood. His marriage to Suneeta (Genelia Deshmukh) is falling apart when he is suspended from his job for hitting a senior and arrested for drunk driving. The judge gives Gulshan the punishment of community service – to coach a team of teens with special needs. Gulshan walks into the institution, whose benevolent manager (Gurpal Singh) gives him gentle sermons about how everybody's idea of normal is different. Flummoxed when faced with an energetic but uncontrollable group of players, Gulshan gradually comes to understand how to work with them. Play The players, made up of well-cast actors, have their quirks. They are unable to follow instructions and have a marked lack of respect for their coach until he earns their affection and trust. While Gulshan's interactions with the boisterous team are genuinely funny, as individuals they occasionally border on caricature (particularly the sole female player Golu, played with sass by Simran Mangeshkar). Despite outward differences in appearance, speech and background, their purpose seems to be to collectively knock some sense into the cynical Gulshan. They are portrayed as lovable eccentrics, their stories pushed to the back in favour of Gulshan's self-discovery and redemption. While the film's message of inclusivity is undoubtedly noble, the actual challenges of having a specially abled child are ignored to create moments of slapstick comedy. In the Spanish and Hollywood productions, the lives of the players move forward too. In the Hindi version, they remain trapped in childhood innocence even as their bodies grow. (The bit about one of them having a prostitute – the word is used – as a girlfriend is never clarified). The film is well-intentioned, often heart-warming, but also simplistic. Divy Nidhi Sharma's script is has some pithy lines but it also prevents the story from conveying its own points. The message is repeated over and over again and then some. Aamir Khan's Gulshan has the clearest character graph, from his initial frustration to his handling of his prejudices and limitations. Gulshan's transformation from being petulant and selfish to genuinely caring towards the team, his wife and his mother (Dolly Ahluwalia) forms the emotional core of the film, and Khan portrays all the shades with ease. The actors – Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishnan Varma, Vedant Sharmaa, Naman Misra, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Ashish Pendse, Samvit Desai, Simran Mangeshkar and Aayush Bhansali – are real charmers, uninhibited and brimming with an infectious sense of joy that permeates the film.
