Sitaare Zameen Par starring Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh is releasing on June 20, 2025. Aamir Khan aims to revive the theatre business with this movie. He said in an interview that nowadays producers do not even decide to make movies unless they decide on the OTT deal. Aamir Khan said such an attitude is harming cinema business. Of late, only big budget event movies are getting releases in theatres and doing good business. Aamir Khan said that such a move was necessary to bring people back to cinema halls for drama films like Sitaare Zameen Par. We have seen the smaller films have not done any business whatsoever in cinema halls of late.

It seems two big OTT players Netflix and Amazon Prime Video were interested in Sitaare Zameen Par. As per a report in Zoom, Amazon Prime Video made an offer of Rs 120 crores to Aamir Khan, which he rejected. He wants to experiment with a new model where the film will be made available only after eight weeks. Of late, films come on OTT quite fast. He feels this deters film-going audience. Sitaare Zameen Par will come on YouTube, and one has to pay to watch the same.

The film is directed by RS Prasanna. He is from the South and has directed Shubh Mangal Saavdhan before this. It is an adaptation of a Spanish film. Sitaare Zameen Par is about a basketball team made up of players with Down’s Syndrome. It is kind of a spiritual successor to Taare Zameen Par.
