Aamir Khan has finally spilled the beans on his next venture, Sitaare Zameen Par, a sequel of his 2007 hit, ‘Taare Zameen par.’ Calling it a thematic sequel, the actor opened up about his upcoming movie in a recent conversation with his Chinese fan club, a video of which was posted on social media site X.
“I’m working on Sitaare Zameen Par right now. It’s almost ready,” Aamir revealed. “It’s not a direct sequel to Taare Zameen Par, but thematically, it goes ten steps ahead. While Taare Zameen Par made you cry, this one will make you laugh. It’s a comedy, but with the same underlying message—it’s about love, friendship, and the lives of people who are differently abled.”
He went on to add, “My character in Taare Zameen Par was Nikumb, who is a very sensitive person. In this film my character’s name is Gulshan but his personality is exactly opposite to Nikumbh. He is not sensitive at all. He is very rude, politically incorrect and he insults everybody. He fights with his wife, mother. He is a basketball coach and he beats up his senior coach. He is a person with a lot of internal problems, and the story is how he changes with the film. How these people in the spectrum teach him what it is to be a good human being.”
The perfectionist actor revealed that the film is a remake of the Spanish film Champions. The project was announced in October 2023 and will star Aamir alongside Darsheel Safary and Genelia Deshmukh in the lead roles. The sequel will be helmed by RS Prasanna. An official release date of the movie is yet to be announced.
