MUMBAI: After a triumphant return to the silver screen, Aamir Khan’s latest offering Sitaare Zameen Par has not only struck an emotional chord with audiences but is also enjoying a strong box office run.

Celebrated as a spiritual successor to the much-loved Taare Zameen Par, this film carries forward themes of individuality, inclusion, and childhood wonder — albeit with a lighter, more uplifting tone.

At the heart of Sitaare Zameen Par is a heartfelt narrative about children who are often overlooked or underestimated, showcasing their hidden potential and the joy they bring when embraced by an understanding world.

Khan, known for his blend of socially relevant storytelling and cinematic brilliance, plays a pivotal role both in front of the camera and behind the scenes as producer.

While the film continues to bask in critical and commercial success, its much-anticipated digital release appears to have hit a snag. Sources close to TellyChakkar have revealed that Aamir Khan is currently engaged in a revenue-sharing negotiation with YouTube, where the film was initially set to premiere via a pay-per-view model.

Reportedly, Aamir is seeking a significant 80% cut of the digital revenue — a figure YouTube is hesitant to agree upon, preferring a more balanced share. With talks still ongoing, this impasse may result in a delay in the OTT debut of the film.

As fans eagerly await news on where the film will eventually land online, industry insiders speculate that Sitaare Zameen Par may explore alternative digital platforms.

One thing is certain — wherever it streams, the film is expected to continue spreading its message of hope, empathy, and joy.

Stay tuned to TellyChakkar for exclusive updates on what promises to be the most riveting season yet!
