Aamir Khan Was 'Afraid' For His Career Due To Short Height: 'Chote Height Ke Actor Ki Daal Galegi'
Aamir Khan was nervous as top actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha were all tall men. Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par has generated significant buzz before its release. One aspect that caught everyone's attention was that in the film's trailer, Aamir's on-screen mother takes a jibe at his height and calls him 'tingu". In a recent chat with Just Too Filmy, Aamir Khan was asked if his superstar status allows him to take jokes about his appearance without feeling insecure. Aamir Khan said, 'Actually, Javed saab once said something about humour that I really agree with. He said a good sense of humour is not just for fun and games, but it actually comes in handy when you're going through difficulties in life. So if you have a good sense of humour at that time, it's like a shock absorber. I think I've always had that ability, and it's a very important part of the film." He revealed, 'At the beginning of my career, I was very afraid. Amit ji was number one, and he was over six feet tall. Vinod ji, Shatrughan Sinha—all were very tall. So I was nervous, thinking choti height ke actor ki kuch daal galegi ki nahi galegi (whether a short actor like me would even stand a chance). I was very concerned about that. But as it turned out, it was fine." As for Sitare Zameen Par, the film is a spiritual sequel to Aamir Khan's 2007 film, Taare Zameen Par. The movie stars Aamir Khan alongside Genelia Deshmukh. It is a remake of the Spanish film Campeonas. The film marks the Hindi cinema debut of Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. In the film, Aamir Khan plays Gulshan, an assistant coach of a prominent basketball team. After losing his job, he had to choose jail or serve 90 days of community service as the coach of a team comprising specially-abled basketball players. Directed by RS Prasanna, the film is scheduled for release on June 20, and anticipation is running high as the date approaches. Recently, Aamir Khan emphasised the significance of this movie for society. He mentioned that while the film will undoubtedly entertain viewers, it will also serve to educate them on how to include people with autism or Down syndrome in their lives and make them feel comfortable and accepted.

In a recent interview with Just Too Filmy, the actor was asked if he is comfortable taking jokes on his appearance.

'Sitaare Zameen Par: Director R. S. Prasanna reveals his choice; Says, 'Aamir Khan was the only name for the film'
Director R. S. Prasanna's 'Sitaare Zameen Par', starring Aamir Khan, is a Hindi remake of the Spanish film Champions. The emotional sports drama follows a basketball coach training neurodivergent adults. Produced by Aamir Khan, it releases on June 20, promising a heartfelt, inspiring story. R. S. Prasanna, the director behind 'Kalyana Samayal Saadham' and 'Shubh Mangala Zyada Savdhan,' had only one actor in mind when he decided to make a film about Down syndrome—Bollywood's Aamir Khan . Prasanna felt that Aamir was the perfect choice to take on the role and do justice to the film's poignant title, 'Sitaare Zameen Par,' believing no one else could carry the story as effectively. A Magical Journey with Aamir Khan During his conversation with Moneycontrol, Prasanna described working with Aamir Khan as "a magical journey." He said, "Because the second I thought of who should play the role, who should I take the story to, the only person who came to my mind was Mr. Aamir Khan." From Apprehension to Destiny For his third film as a director, Prasanna admits he can hardly believe that he had the chance to work alongside Aamir. Considering his previous recognition came from collaborating with actors like Jitendra Kumar and Ayushmann Khurrana in 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan,' reaching out to a superstar like Aamir Khan was a daring move for him. Prasanna also shared that he felt a mix of apprehension, hope, and nervousness throughout the project. He believes that without Aamir Khan's involvement, the film would not have received the same level of love, sensitivity, and support that Aamir consistently brings to his work. Prasanna described their collaboration as a dream come true, where everything seemed to fall into place perfectly. He expressed a strong belief in destiny, feeling that the film was almost creating itself through the people meant to tell its story, with Aamir serving as the ideal support and platform for the project. Film Details and Release Directed by RS Prasanna and co-produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh , along with ten debutants. The film, a Hindi remake of the Spanish film Champions, is set to release on June 20.
