Aamir Khan is ready to make his big-screen comeback with Sitaare Zameen Par. But this time, he’s not playing the calm, kind teacher fans remember. While speaking to fans in China at the Macau Comedy Festival, Aamir opened up about his new film and his bold character.
Aamir Khan Says THIS About His Character In Sitaare Zameen Par
He revealed that Sitaare Zameen Par is the Indian remake of the Spanish film Champions. In this version, Aamir plays a blunt and aggressive basketball coach named Gulshan.
The actor shared, “My character is very rude, politically incorrect and he insults everybody. He fights with his wife, his mother, and even beats up his senior coach. He’s got a lot of internal issues.”
This character is the complete opposite of Nikumbh, the warm-hearted teacher he played in Taare Zameen Par. He said, “Nikumbh was sensitive. Gulshan is not. He’s angry and broken. The story is about how he changes. How the ten people, some of whom have down syndrome, autism, different abilities teach him what it is to be a good human being.”
The story follows Gulshan as he coaches a basketball team of people with special needs, including those with Down syndrome and autism. As he spends time with them, his own outlook begins to change. Aamir added, “They teach him how to live, how to love.”
While Taare Zameen Par made audiences emotional, Aamir says this one will bring out smiles. “It’s a comedy. But the heart of the story is the same, it’s about people who are differently abled, and how they inspire change.”
Film Set to Release On June 20
The film is directed by RS Prasanna and also stars Genelia Deshmukh and Darsheel Safary. It marks Aamir’s return to films after the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha.
As per Pinkvilla, Sitaare Zameen Par is now set to hit cinemas on 20 June 2025. Earlier, Aamir planned a May 30 release. But he reportedly moved the date to avoid box office competition and secure a smooth two-week run.
The trailer is expected to arrive in the coming days and will reportedly be attached to Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2.
