The actor shared some details about the project during a session at News18 India’s ‘Amrit Ratna 2023’ event on Tuesday.
“I have not spoken about it publicly and I won’t be able to say much now also. But I can tell the title. The title of the film is Sitaare Zameen Par. You must have remembered my film Taare Zameen Par and the name of this film is Sitaare Zameen Par because we are moving 10 steps ahead with the same theme. Taare Zameen Par was an emotional film, this film will make you laugh. But the theme is the same that’s why we kept this name very thoughtfully. We all have flaws, but we all also have something special, so we are taking forward this theme but this time the character of the special child Ishaan in that film, my character helps that character in Taare Zameen Par, In Sitaare Zameen Par, those 9 boys, who have their own issues they help me. It’s the opposite,” Aamir said.
Taare Zameen Par, which was released in 2007, followed an eight-year-old gifted boy Ishaan, played by Darsheel Safary, who suffers from dyslexia and struggles in school. Aamir played the role of his art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who discovers his condition and helps him overcome his difficulties and realise his true potential. The film was a critical and commercial success and won several awards, including the National Film Award for Best Film on Family Welfare and the Filmfare Award for Best Film.
This film is said to be official remake of Spanish film, Champions that Khan was earlier planning to make with Farhan Akhtar.
