Bollywood luminary Aamir Khan, widely known as ‘Mr. Perfectionist,’ is composed to make his highly awaited return to the silver screen 20th June with “Sitaare Zameen Par.”

Directed by R.S.Prasanna, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is scheduled to hit cinemas on June 20, 2025. The movie features a talented ensemble including ‘Genelia deshmukh and Darsheel Safary’ in key roles alongside Khan.

‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ takes a distinct approach from its predecessor.

Despite some varied opinions and controversies surrounding the project, excitement within cinematic circles is deep, and audience anticipation is reaching a crescendo. Khan will be seen in an entirely new character named ‘Gulshan,’ bringing a fresh narrative to the fore. The crucial question remains whether this venture will restore his past box office glory and resonate with the public.

Offering options from Rs. 5-10 crore to over Rs. 20 crore, a noteworthy 41.50% of respondents projected ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ to cross the Rs. 20 crore mark on its opening day, signaling strong public confidence in Khan’s return.
