Dear Lykkers! After the resounding success of Taare Zameen Par in 2007, Aamir Khan is back with its highly anticipated spiritual sequel, Sitaare Zameen Par.

In a recent interview with Hollywood Reporter India, Aamir revealed that the new film, directed by RS Prasanna, will bring a fresh and humorous approach to exploring the lives of individuals with unique challenges, breaking new ground in storytelling.

A New Approach to the Theme

A Fresh Perspective on Disabilities and Challenges

Unlike Taare Zameen Par, where Aamir’s character played a mentor role to a young boy with dyslexia, Sitaare Zameen Par flips the narrative. The actor revealed that this time, the story focuses on ten individuals, each facing unique challenges, who, instead of receiving help, actually assist his “supposedly normal” character. Aamir expressed that this approach feels more “advanced” in exploring perspectives on disabilities and self-discovery, as it shows how people with diverse abilities contribute and support each other in their unique ways.
