Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par Gets 12A Certificate From UK Censors, Runtime Revealed
Aamir Khan is all set to make his big-screen comeback with Sitaare Zameen Par. The film, also starring Genelia Deshmukh, brings a heartwarming story about second chances, determination, and the power of inclusion. Directed by RS Prasanna, this slice-of-life drama follows 10 specially-abled children who are shaped into a football team by a tough yet inspiring coach, played by Aamir. The film is all set to release in theatres in June 20, 2025. Now, new details are trickling in. The British Censor Board has officially cleared the film with a 12A certificate, which means it's suitable for viewers over 12, while younger children can watch it too as long as they're accompanied by an adult. According to a report by Filmy View, the movie has a runtime of 2 hours and 35 minutes. Sitaare Zameen Par marks Aamir's return to theatres after a three-year gap following Laal Singh Chaddha. ccording to recent reports, the actor plans to launch the film across approximately 3,000 screens nationwide. As per a report by Pinkvilla, Aamir Khan and his team had originally planned a modest rollout for Sitaare Zameen Par, eyeing a release on around 1,000 to 1,500 screens across India. The idea was to gauge audience response over the opening weekend and then expand the reach accordingly. However, that plan has now changed. The film will see a full-fledged nationwide release right from day one. According to sources quoted by the portal, many single-screen theatre owners and non-national multiplex chains reached out directly to Aamir. This overwhelming demand prompted the team to go big with the release. A source known to the entertainment portal said, 'Though the genre has its limitations in the post-pandemic, the exhibitors are confident that the Aamir Khan factor, coupled with strong content, will draw audiences in larger numbers over the weekend. The exhibitor support for Sitaare Zameen Par is also coming from the 'No OTT' stance taken by Aamir Khan. The film will now release on 3000 to 3500 screens all across the country." Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Aamir Khan made his next film, Sitaare Zameen Par, will not be heading to any streaming platform anytime soon. The actor-producer shared his thoughts on how the fast shift to OTT after the pandemic has affected theatre business. He explained that releasing films too soon online takes away from the cinema experience, and he strongly believes that good films deserve to be seen on the big screen. 'I don't know any business where you offer your product, and if someone doesn't buy it, you tell them—don't worry, I'll drop it at your house for free in eight weeks," Aamir said, adding, 'It doesn't make sense to me. That's the reason many films aren't doing well in theatres." He described the current situation as a 'famine and feast" model where either a few films do extremely well or most don't work at all. He believes the early OTT release trend has weakened the theatrical culture and, therefore, made a conscious choice to keep his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par exclusive to theatres. 'I believe in theatres. I believe in my audience. If you make a good film, people will come to watch it on the big screen." When asked about Laal Singh Chaddha, which got a warm reception on OTT after a lukewarm run in theatres, Aamir said, 'If someone doesn't enjoy a film in theatres, they won't suddenly like it at home. Your opinion of the film doesn't change just because of where you watch it." Sitaare Zameen Par is a sports comedy drama film directed by R. S. Prasanna, and produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit. A spiritual successor to Khan's 2007 film Taare Zameen Par, it stars Khan and Genelia Deshmukh. It is a remake of the Spanish film Champions. Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra and Simran Mangeshkar will make their Hindi cinema debut in Sitaare Zameen Par.
