New delhi: Aamir Khan has confirmed that the OTT release of his film “Sitaare Zameen Par” was always part of the original strategy, though it was planned not to follow immediately after its theatrical run.
According to United News of Bangladesh, Khan stated in an interview with PTI that he was clear from the start about releasing the film on a digital platform, but he preferred a gap after its cinema release. “Sitaare Zameen Par” is scheduled to stream on SonyLIV from April 3, providing an opportunity for those who missed it in theatres to watch it at home.
Khan also revealed that the platform will release a documentary titled “Sitaaron Ke Sitaare,” which highlights the real-life parents of the neurodivergent actors featured in the film. The documentary is described as a special project that shifts the focus to the parents, acknowledging them as the ‘real superstars’ for their role in raising and supporting the 10 young actors.
The actor shared these insights while attending the red carpet of the inaugural International Film Festival Delhi. Earlier, Aamir Khan Productions had announced that the film, which initially did not have an OTT window, would soon be available for streaming.
In addition to Khan, “Sitaare Zameen Par” stars Genelia Deshmukh and introduces 10 neurodivergent debutants. The film is considered a spiritual sequel to “Taare Zameen Par” and grossed approximately Rs 265 crore worldwide, marking it as one of last year’s highest-grossing films.
