Aamir Khan recently shared his emotional turmoil following the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha, revealing he felt depressed, heartbroken, and emotionally battered. Speaking to Indian Express, he admitted that while 25% of audiences loved the film, 75% did not connect with it, a reality he found hard to accept after a long streak of successful films. Despite pressure to pivot to an action film with multiple offers, Aamir chose Sitaare Zameen Par, a story that deeply touched his heart. He described being driven by creative passion, unable to resist a story that resonates deeply.

Set for release on June 20, Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual sequel to Taare Zameen Par, features Aamir as a disgraced basketball coach mentoring a team of intellectually disabled players. Co-starring Genelia Deshmukh, the family entertainer highlights their challenges in a competitive setting, showcasing Aamir’s commitment to meaningful cinema.
