Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is all set to make a heartfelt comeback with Sitaare Zameen Par, the official Hindi adaptation of the Spanish hit Champions. Directed by RS Prasanna, the film explores a moving narrative centered around inclusion, resilience, and transformation through the world of sports.
The newly launched trailer introduces us to Aamir Khan in the role of a fiery, no-nonsense basketball coach who finds himself reluctantly tasked with mentoring a team of differently-abled players for a national championship. What begins as a forced assignment gradually turns into an emotional journey, as the coach not only transforms his players—but also himself.
Reminiscent of the emotional depth of Taare Zameen Par, one of Aamir’s most beloved films, Sitaare Zameen Par aims to strike a similar chord. While the new film shares thematic DNA with its predecessor, it shifts the focus to team dynamics and personal growth through sport. The makers have promised an emotionally rich, inspirational drama with universal appeal.
The trailer lays out the film’s premise clearly, giving viewers a taste of the emotional arcs and character dynamics. While it may not deliver the gut-punch moments typically expected from such genres, it sets the stage for what could be a deeply affecting experience on the big screen. The real test will lie in how well the makers have localized the Spanish story for Indian audiences—without losing its emotional core.
Joining Aamir Khan in the cast are Genelia Deshmukh, Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishnan Varma, and Vedant Sharmaa, along with a talented ensemble that includes Naman Misra, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Ashish Pendse, and Dolly Ahluwalia. The film is produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions and Amazon Prime Video.
Music for the film is composed by the acclaimed trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, promising an uplifting and soulful soundtrack that complements the emotional tone of the story.
Sitare Zameen Par is scheduled for a theatrical release on June 20, and fans are already anticipating Aamir Khan’s return to the kind of meaningful cinema he’s known for. If the film manages to balance heart with humour and authenticity, it could mark a significant comeback for the actor.
