Back to familiar space


Aamir Khan, the acclaimed Bollywood actor known for his dedication to his craft and thoughtful choice of projects, has returned to the spotlight with the commencement of his latest film, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’. This film is directed by RS Prasanna and is inspired by the theme of Khan’s iconic and heartwarming 2007 feature, ‘Taare Zameen Par’. In the bustling city of Mumbai, the film team is working tirelessly on completing the project in a start-to-finish shooting schedule that promises to keep the buzz and excitement alive until the final wrap.

Sources from within the film’s production unit shared with media, “Aamir has been consistently present for the 7 am calls for shooting. As we speak, the filming process shifts from one location to another on a daily basis, ensuring a dynamic backdrop for the unfolding narrative. Just yesterday, the cameras rolled at the scenic Country Club. The excitement is palpable as we prepare for the arrival of the full ensemble, which is slated to join the production later this month. We expect the shooting to run seamlessly through until the end of April.”

In what promises to be a gripping and emotionally charged narrative, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is a remake of the successful Spanish film ‘Campeones’ from 2018. The sports comedy-drama brings to life the story of a basketball coach, whose personal journey takes an unexpected turn when he’s sentenced to community service. This sentence becomes a life-changing sojourn as the coach finds purpose and camaraderie in leading a team of mentally disabled players.

Initially, it was Farhan Akhtar who was pegged to embrace the role and lead the film. However, the tides have turned, bringing Aamir Khan into the fold to weave his magic once again on the big screen. Khan’s talent will be accompanied by the charm and skill of Genelia D’Souza, who joins him in this high-stakes drama. The anticipation among the audiences is building, as they await yet another powerful performance from the duo.

RS Prasanna, the director at the helm, brings to the project a vision that is both inspiring and relatable—an aspect that Khan is known to identify with and embody in his cinematic ventures. Prasanna and Khan are shaping ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ with great care, paying homage to its Spanish origin while infusing it with a unique Indian sensibility that resonates with Khan’s fanbase.

With early call times and a packed shooting schedule, the dedication of the cast and crew is apparent. Mumbai’s multiplicity of locations offers the perfect tapestry for the film’s diverse scenes, each chosen to augment the narrative’s depth and authenticity. From the hustle and bustle of the city’s heart to the more serene outskirts, each chosen locale will contribute to the storytelling in its own unique way.

The decision to shoot the film in a start-to-finish schedule is a testament to the team’s commitment to both efficiency and the art of film-making. This approach minimizes disruptions and maintains the focus and energy of all involved, enabling a smoother creative flow. It also keeps the project on a tight schedule, ensuring a timely completion which is crucial in the fast-paced world of cinema.

As the dynamic city of Mumbai buzzes with the activities of the film’s production, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ steadily takes shape, day by day, scene by scene. This film is not just a story—it is an experience, a lesson, and a journey of transformation that promises to touch the hearts of audiences and leave an indelible mark, much like the stars that shine upon the earth. With Aamir Khan’s return to a reminiscent narrative theme, his fans eagerly anticipate another landmark film that speaks to the triumph of the human spirit.
