The trailer of Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, one of the most awaited films of the year, is finally out—and it’s already tugging at heartstrings. Unveiled by Aamir Khan Productions, the trailer offers a first glimpse into a feel-good drama packed with humour, emotion, and inspiration. At its core is Aamir Khan, portraying a flawed yet passionate basketball coach who is forced to train a team of individuals with intellectual disabilities. The film marks Aamir Khan’s return to acting after a three-year hiatus, his last appearance being in Laal Singh Chaddha (2022).
Sitaare Zameen Par will release in theatres on June 20
What begins as punishment soon turns into a purpose-driven journey, as the coach bonds deeply with his team of ten. The trailer, filled with laughter, heartwarming moments, and stirring music, promises a story that blends social messaging with light-hearted storytelling.
Aamir Khan Productions shared the trailer on Instagram and other social media.
Directed by R S Prasanna, known for Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, and produced under the Aamir Khan Productions banner, the film serves as a spiritual sequel to Khan’s 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par. While the earlier film spotlighted learning disabilities in children, Sitaare Zameen Par extends the narrative by focusing on adults with intellectual disabilities and how society perceives them. The project aims to normalise differences and foster empathy through a sports drama format.
In the film, Aamir Khan plays a short-tempered basketball coach who ends up behind bars after a drunk-driving incident and an altercation with a senior. As punishment, he is ordered by a judge to coach a team of special needs players. Initially reluctant, he soon grows emotionally invested in the lives and aspirations of his players, eventually pushing them—and himself—towards a transformative journey of growth, resilience, and victory.
The cast features ten promising newcomers: Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. Actress Genelia Deshmukh plays Aamir’s love interest, adding a romantic layer to the plot.
With Sitaare Zameen Par, Khan is once again diving into socially relevant cinema with a mainstream appeal.
The screenplay is penned by Divy Nidhi Sharma. The film’s music is composed by the celebrated trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, and a background score by Ram Sampath.
