Aamir Khan announces next film ‘Sitare Zameen Par’: ‘Going 10 steps ahead with ‘Taare Zameen Par’ theme’

Superstar Aamir Khan, who has been on an acting break since the release of his 2022 film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, has now announced his next film, titled ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’. During a session at News18 India’s ‘Amrit Ratna 2023’, the actor shared some details about the project.

‘I’m starring in and producing this film Sitaare Zameen Par. We are going ten steps ahead with the theme of Taare Zameen Par. That film made you cry, this one will make you laugh. In Taare, I helped Darsheel’s character, but in this film nine people, with their own set of problems, will help me,’ Aamir said.

‘Taare Zameen Par’ followed an eight-year-old gifted boy Ishaan. Aamir starred as his art teacher who discovers that the child has dyslexia and helps him realise his true potential.

Aamir also spoke about his production ventures.

‘I’m doing 3 films as a producer. There is Laapata Ladies’ directed by Kiran (Rao). It comes out on January 5. Another one with my son Junaid (Khan), and Lahore 1947 with Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol. I’m looking forward to them,’ he said.

Junaid’s entry into film industry

The actor also announced that his son Junaid Khan is making his foray into the film industry as a producer.

‘Like his grandfather (filmmaker Tahir Hussain), Junaid is joining films as a producer with Pritam Pyaare. I have a cameo in the film. And then he is acting in Maharaj,’ he said.

Inspired by true events, ‘Maharaj’ is set in the 1800s and centres on a regular man, a journalist by profession, who takes on a powerful role model of society, hailed by many as a messiah for the masses.

Aamir’s last film

‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, directed by Advait Chandan, was the official remake of the Hollywood classic ‘Forrest Gump’. The film had a dull run at the box office, following which Aamir took a break from acting to focus on his family.
