After years of speculation, the much-loved Bollywood classic Taare Zameen Par (2007) is getting a sequel, officially titled Sitaare Zameen Par. This announcement was confirmed by none other than Aamir Khan, who starred in and directed the original film. The sequel will reunite Aamir with Darsheel Safary, who played the unforgettable Ishaan, while Genelia D’Souza is joining the cast in a significant role.
In a recent interview, Aamir Khan revealed that work on Sitaare Zameen Par is in full swing and that the team is aiming for a Christmas 2025 release. Sharing his excitement, the Lagaan star said, “We are trying to release it by the end of this year, on the occasion of Christmas. It’s an entertaining film with a story I deeply love. The shooting has already begun.”
At the Republic Day celebrations held at the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, Aamir dropped more updates about the film. He disclosed that the climax of Sitaare Zameen Par was shot in Vadodara, Gujarat. Reflecting on his connection with the state, Mr Khan shared, “When I was young, many of my father’s films were shot here. I would often visit Gujarat as a child. The memories came flooding back while shooting in Vadodara. The city has transformed beautifully with modern roads and luxurious buildings.”
