Needless to say, each movie starring Aamir Khan is cherished and remains in the hearts of viewers for his exceptional acting abilities. However, the standout film in his repertoire is Taare Zameen Par, which hit theaters in 2007. Ever since then, fans have been eagerly anticipating its sequel. Last year, Aamir shared an update on this and introduced Sitaare Zameen Par as the film's spiritual successor.

During a chat with Deadline at the Red Sea International Film Festival, Aamir delved into specifics about Sitaare Zameen Par and disclosed the theatrical release date of the film.

Talking about Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan said, “Sitaare Zameen Par is a sequel to Taare Zameen Par, a film that I directed some years ago. However it is not a sequel in the sense that the characters do not continue from the previous one. So it is a fresh set of characters with completely fresh situations and plot. Thematically it is a sequel to Taare Zameen Par. It is saying the same things… actually it is saying a lot more actually. Taare Zameen Par was about a child who has dyslexia. So it is a film that explored the themes of challenges of multiple intelligences, and how we are quick to judge people based on their written and reading IQ. Whereas people have multiple intelligences who do not get recognized often. All of us have difficulties and weakness, qualities that make us magical and unique. That theme is the theme that is taken forward in Sitaare Zameen Par.”

Further sharing his plans regarding the release, Aamir said,“We are coming to the post-production really. A bit of pick-ups we have and then we go to post later this month. Then we would be ready to release the film sometime middle of next year,” he added.

It was in October 2023 when Sitaare Zameen Par was unveiled. The movie will feature Aamir, Darsheel, and Genelia Deshmukh in prominent roles. The sequel is helmed by RS Prasanna and is inspired by the 2018 Spanish film Champions.
