Aamir Khan postpones ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ trailer launch amid Pahalgam tragedy

In a heartfelt move, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has chosen to delay the trailer release of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par in light of the tragic Pahalgam terror attack. The actor made this decision to honor the victims and respect the collective grief the country is experiencing.

The trailer was originally set for a grand unveiling this week, accompanied by an extensive promotional campaign. However, sources close to the production shared that Aamir and his team believed it would be inappropriate to proceed with celebrations during such a somber time. “It’s a moment to pause and reflect,” said an insider, echoing the team’s sentiments.

Directed by R.S. Prasanna and produced under the Aamir Khan Productions banner, Sitaare Zameen Par is being hailed as a spiritual successor to the beloved 2007 film Taare Zameen Par. While the earlier film focused on a child battling dyslexia and struck an emotional chord with audiences, this new story shifts the tone, offering a more humorous and uplifting approach while exploring similar themes of acceptance, understanding, and human connection.

Aamir Khan recently spoke about the film’s core message, saying, “Taare Zameen Par made you cry; Sitaare Zameen Par will make you laugh. It carries the same heart, but it’s told with humor.” The story follows the transformative journey of a man whose life changes after meeting a group of children with different abilities. Their perspective on life challenges him to confront his own flaws, creating a heartwarming and inspiring narrative.

Taare Zameen Par became a cult film over the period making it resonate with a large section of the masses. Hence the stakes are high for Aamir and audiences can't wait to see what he has in store this time.

The film stars Aamir Khan alongside Genelia Deshmukh and Darsheel Safary, reuniting audiences with familiar faces while introducing fresh dynamics. It’s also based on the 2018 Spanish sports dramedy Champions, known for its charm and emotional depth.
