Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is officially back on the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled. The actor recently shared the first look poster of the film, hinting at a powerful and emotional narrative. Directed by R. S. Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par is a spiritual sequel to the 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par, and is set to release on June 20, 2025.
The newly revealed poster showcases Aamir Khan in a role that suggests he may be portraying a basketball coach, reminiscent of his mentor-like character in the original film. What makes this project even more exciting is that Khan will be sharing screen space with 10 debutant actors, namely Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar.
The fan response has been overwhelmingly positive. One fan wrote, “1000 Cr Loading Amir Sir!!! Inshallah,” while another commented, “Ready to sob.” Another fan remarked, “Glad to see that music is still given by Goated trio,” referring to the iconic composer team Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, who have returned to score the film’s music.
Genelia Deshmukh and an Ensemble Cast Join the Film
Sitaare Zameen Par marks Aamir Khan’s comeback alongside Genelia Deshmukh, adding further anticipation to the release. The movie is being produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions in association with Aparna Purohit. The screenplay is penned by Divy Nidhi Sharma, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya. The film is directed by R. S. Prasanna, known for his previous work on Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and the Swami Chinmayananda biopic On A Quest.
First Trailer Review: Comedy with a Heart
The trailer for Sitaare Zameen Par was recently screened for the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which granted it a UA certificate. Following the screening, actor and writer Kuldeep Gadhvi took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the trailer. The post was later re-shared by co-producer Ravi Bhagchandka.
Gadhvi wrote, “Watched CBFC ( #SitareZameenPar ) trailer, it is an amazing trailer, Aamir Khan’s character name Gulshan is a stark contrast of Nikumbh, 3 minutes 29 seconds, it is a great trailer, you will see more comedy than emotions in the trailer, but Aamir Khan has done a fab job. Genelia Deshmukh is doing a strong job, darsheel safari also looks good for you, stars like Brijendra Kala, Rahul Kohli, Karim Hajee, Sonali Kulkarni, Amit Verma, Anup Kumar Mishra, Suresh Menon are also in this film.”
