Aamir Khan, widely regarded as Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist continues to dominate headlines despite a prolonged absence from the silver screen. After sparking intrigue over his speculated relationship with Gauri Spratt, he’s now back in the limelight for his forthcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par — positioned as a spiritual successor to the iconic Taare Zameen Par. Even in his hiatus, Aamir’s presence remains both influential and newsworthy.
The narrative draws inspiration from the 2018 Spanish film Champions, which was based on the real-life journey of the Aderes basketball team, composed of athletes with intellectual disabilities in Valencia. Though previously adapted in Hollywood with Woody Harrelson, Aamir’s version — directed by RS Prasanna — promises a culturally rooted and emotionally rich interpretation. With actors like Darsheel Safary and Genelia Deshmukh on board, expectations are soaring as audiences look forward to Aamir’s poignant return to a genre he has long mastered.
