Three years on from Laal Singh Chaddha, Aamir Khan will be back on the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par. Under RS Prasanna’s direction, the movie will have a theater release on June 20, 2025. The venture is already creating buzz, particularly for its emotional theme around mental health and neurodiversity.
A New Chapter in Mental Health Storytelling
Speaking recently to Pinkvilla, Aamir disclosed, “Meri toh agli abhi film aa rahi hai, Sitaare Zameen Par. June 20 ko hum logon ne decide kiya release karne ke liye.” He said that the film makes a big, significant move on mental health. “When you see my character, you’ll get to know what I mean,” he went on to say, suggesting that the story is deep and profound.
Aamir’s daughter Ira Khan, who has herself been candid about her own experience with mental illness, also contributed to the conversation, pointing to “neurodivergent peer support” as a critical theme of the film.

A Spiritual Sequel to Taare Zameen Par
Viewed as a spiritual successor to Aamir’s 2007 blockbuster Taare Zameen Par, the new film retains its emphasis on inclusiveness and sensitivity to varying mental and intellectual capacities. Yet, Sitaare Zameen Par tones down tonally, taking a lighter, comic approach.
In a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Aamir clarified, “Taare Zameen Par is a tearjerker. Sitaare Zameen Par is a comedy film that makes you laugh.” Although the tone is different, both movies attempt to create empathy and awareness.

With its own special blend of humor and heart, Sitaare Zameen Par is set to generate debates and make a lasting impression.
