Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan is all set to return to the silver screen with Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual successor to his critically acclaimed 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par. The first poster of the film, unveiled by the makers, has already created a stir, offering audiences a vibrant, intriguing glimpse into what promises to be a heartwarming and joyous cinematic experience.
Slated to release on June 20, 2025, Sitaare Zameen Par will hit theatres nationwide, inviting viewers into a world where love, laughter, and inclusivity take center stage. The trailer of the film is all set to release on May 8, 2025, adding to the growing anticipation surrounding the project.
A New Chapter with a Familiar Soul
While Taare Zameen Par moved audiences with its sensitive portrayal of a dyslexic child and emphasized the importance of nurturing each child’s uniqueness, Sitaare Zameen Par shifts its tone to celebrate life through the lens of comedy. Aamir Khan himself has described the film as a “comedy with the same soul” — an uplifting exploration of friendship, love, and the spectrum of abilities.
The poster, which features Aamir Khan in a rugged, disheveled avatar, surrounded by a group of spirited newcomers, sets the tone for the film’s ensemble narrative. The tagline accompanying the poster reads:
“A film celebrating love, laughter and happiness. Sitaare Zameen Par. Sabka Apna Apna Normal. 20th June Only In Theatres.”

Introducing Fresh Faces and a Powerhouse Team
One of the film’s most exciting aspects is its ensemble cast featuring ten debutant actors — Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. Their inclusion signals a fresh and inclusive approach to storytelling, in keeping with the film’s theme of celebrating diversity and individuality.
Sharing screen space with Aamir Khan is Genelia Deshmukh, who makes a much-awaited return to mainstream cinema. The film is directed by R.S. Prasanna, best known for Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, and for his biographical film On A Quest, based on Swami Chinmayananda Saraswathi.
Music, Emotions, and Storytelling
Enhancing the emotional and entertainment quotient of the film is its music, composed by the celebrated trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with lyrics penned by the ever-versatile Amitabh Bhattacharya. The screenplay is written by Divy Nidhi Sharma, ensuring the narrative remains both meaningful and accessible.
A Message of Joy and Inclusion
With its vibrant tone and uplifting message, Sitaare Zameen Par seeks to break new ground in Indian cinema by normalizing conversations around differently-abled individuals through comedy and positivity. Aamir Khan’s return to a theme so close to his artistic heart — albeit with a new lens — is bound to resonate with audiences of all ages.
