About the film

Sitaare Zameen Par introduces 10 actors–Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. It is a remake of the Spanish film Campeones. The film sees Aamir play a basketball coach training a team of players with special needs. It also stars Genelia D’Souza.

During an interview with HT, director RS Prasanna had opened up about working with Aamir and shared how he is someone who is extremely humble and it never seems that he is this huge superstar. “The most surprising thing about Aamir sir is that he is a legend who behaves like a newcomer, and you have newcomers who behave like legends. For me, it was just like how I connected with Ayush (Ayushmann Khurrana) and Bhumi (Pednekar). I was a first-time director (in Shubh Mangal Savdhaan), and they made me feel comfortable. The same is with Aamir sir,” he said.
