What Do We Know?

EXCLUSIVE: Aamir Khan's feel-good comedy-drama Sitaare Zameen Par has landed on Sony LIV nearly a year after its theatrical debut.

The India-focused streamer, which operates in more than 40 territories, will debut R. Prasanna’s uplifting basketball-themed picture as the first Hindi theatrical film to premiere on the service.

Key Milestones

The film was released in theaters in June 2025 and ranked as the sixth-largest Hindi-language movie of the year at the Indian box office. It was later made available for a fee on YouTube’s on-demand service.

Sitaare Zameen Par follows Khan in the role of Gulshan Arora, a basketball coach whose life takes an unexpected turn after a drunk-driving incident results in community service.

Why Does This Name Remain Important?

As part of his sentence, Gulshan Arora is assigned to train a team of neurodivergent players for a basketball tournament. What begins as a reluctant responsibility soon transforms into a deeply personal journey.

Directed by R. Prasanna (known for Kalyana Samayal Saadham and Shubh Mangal Savdhan), the film stars Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan alongside Genelia Deshmukh, Ashish Pendse, Aroush Datta, Aayush Bhansali, Rishi Shahani, Gopikrishnan K Varma, Rishabh Jain, Vedant Sharma, Simran Mangeshkar, Samvit Desai, and Naman Misra.

What’s Next?

Khan produced the film alongside Aparna Purohit under the Aamir Khan Productions banner, with B. Shrinivas Rao and Ravi Bhagchandka serving as producers.
