Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is back with another emotionally charged and socially relevant film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is now officially slated to release in theatres on June 20, 2025. Directed by R.S. Prasanna, the film features Genelia Deshmukh opposite Aamir and promises to strike a chord with audiences across all age groups.
Inspired by the acclaimed 2018 Spanish film Champions, this Hindi adaptation blends humour, heart, and humanity in a compelling narrative that highlights inclusivity and the spirit of never giving up.
Sitaare Zameen Par Inspired by ‘Champions’
The film takes its core inspiration from Champions, a Spanish-language sports drama that won international acclaim for its moving story of a basketball coach who trains a team of intellectually disabled players. The Hindi remake, while retaining the emotional core of the original, introduces a desi flavour that is bound to resonate with Indian sensibilities.
In Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan steps into the shoes of a troubled coach—a man battling his own past while reluctantly taking charge of a team of specially-abled athletes. As the story unfolds, both coach and team embark on a journey of transformation, healing, and acceptance.
Aamir Khan’s Most Challenging Role Yet?
Known for his commitment to layered characters and socially driven narratives, Aamir Khan has reportedly pushed his boundaries for this role. He plays a drunkard basketball coach, a character with inner turmoil and a complex emotional arc. Sources close to the production say this could be one of Aamir’s most intense and nuanced performances to date.
Joining Aamir in a pivotal role is Genelia Deshmukh, making a significant return to Hindi cinema. Known for her charm and emotive performances, Genelia is expected to bring warmth and relatability to the film. Her role is said to be crucial to the narrative, offering emotional depth and balance to Aamir’s intense portrayal.
Trailer of Sitaare Zameen Par to Launch on May 1, Will Be Attached to Raid 2
In a strategic move, the makers will unveil the trailer of Sitaare Zameen Par on May 1, a month and a half before the film’s release. But the key highlight is that the trailer will also be attached to theatrical prints of Raid 2, starring Ajay Devgn, which hits cinemas on the same day.
This move is expected to maximise visibility among cinema-goers, as Raid 2 is projected to have a strong box office opening. It’s a smart marketing play by Aamir Khan Productions to directly tap into the theatre audience ahead of release.
Final Word
With a heartfelt story, powerhouse performances, and a strategic promotional rollout, Sitaare Zameen Par is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2025. As Aamir Khan brings yet another socially relevant story to the forefront, fans and critics alike are watching closely.
Audiences are eager to witness this heartwarming story of an unlikely coach and his team, promising a blend of laughter, emotion, and a powerful message of inclusivity when it hits theatres on June 20th, 2025.
