Sitaare Zameen Par Release Date Out: The first-look poster of Aamir Khan's highly anticipated film, 'Sitaare Zameen Par,' was released on May 5th, 2025. The film is considered a sequel, based on the theme of the critically acclaimed and emotionally charged 2007 film, 'Taare Zameen Par'.

The poster, shared by Aamir Khan Productions, has generated immense excitement among fans, sparking significant buzz on social media. Viewers are eagerly anticipating the same sensitivity, the innocent portrayal of the children's world, and the inspiring narrative that made the previous film a classic.
Release Date Announced, Poster Creates a Buzz
Aamir Khan himself shared the film's first poster on his social media handle. The poster shows him sitting on a stool, holding a basketball, with ten young actors smiling and posing behind him. The caption reads: Aamir Khan Productions presents - Sitaare Zameen Par, Sabka Apna-Apna Normal.
The film will be released in theaters on June 20th, 2025, and fan anticipation is at its peak. Notably, this poster's release was initially planned alongside 'Red 2,' but was postponed due to the recent Pulwama terrorist attack.
The Film's Theme and Story
'Sitaare Zameen Par' tells the story of Gulshan, a basketball coach struggling with alcohol addiction. He appears to be a man defeated by life, but his life begins to change when he starts training a basketball team of specially-abled children for the Paralympics. The film depicts the struggles, spirit, and determination of these children, alongside their coach's journey of self-redemption.
The story is filled with humor, emotion, and inspiration. Significantly, the film sheds light on crucial issues such as mental health, self-acceptance, and inclusive education.
What's New in the Star Cast?
Along with Aamir Khan, the film features several new faces. Ten child actors – Aurush Dutta, Gopi Krishna Verma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahane, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar – are part of the cast. Darsheel Safary, who played 'Ishaan Awasthi' in 'Taare Zameen Par,' will also appear, although his role remains undisclosed. Actress Genelia D'Souza will also play a significant role.
A Fusion of Direction and Music
The film is directed by R.S. Prasanna, known for his sensitive and successful film, 'Shubh Mangal Savdhaan'. The music is once again composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, who have previously created magic with Aamir in films like 'Taare Zameen Par' and 'Dil Chahta Hai'. This film is not just entertainment; it's a social commentary.
It's a story about recognizing children's abilities, fostering self-esteem, and challenging society's definition of "normal." Aamir Khan has once again demonstrated that he is not just a hero, but a sensitive storyteller whose films touch hearts and provoke thought.
