In a recent podcast episode featuring YouTube CEO Neal Mohan, Zerodha co-founder and entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath seemingly gave his thoughts on
Aamir Khan’s highly anticipated movie, 'Sitare Zameen Par'. Although he never directly named the film, his hints made it clear which project he was referring to. This film is known to be a spiritual successor to the 2007 hit 'Taare Zameen Par'.
Nikhil Kamath’s Subtle Praise Sparks Speculation
In a conversation about compelling storytelling and meaningful films, Nikhil casually noted, “I have watched the movie, it’s quite nice.” The context implied he was talking about Khan’s 'Sitare Zameen Par', though the film’s creators have not officially confirmed this yet.
Themes of Inclusivity and Inspiration
'Sitare Zameen Par' is set to highlight messages of inclusivity and motivation, reflecting Khan’s tradition of meaningful, socially aware films. Kamath’s short yet encouraging remarks have sparked increased interest in the movie, particularly because he rarely shares his views on Bollywood publicly.
Aamir Khan’s Marketing Intern Makes Playback Singing Debut
The film also grabbed attention when Aamir Khan gave a breakthrough opportunity to his marketing intern, Shariva Parulkar, debuting her as a female playback singer on the newly released song 'Sar Aankhon Pe Mere', alongside Arijit Singh.
Initially recorded as a rough version in Chennai due to the absence of other singers, Shariva’s performance impressed both Aamir and director RS Prasanna so much that they chose to feature her vocals in the final track.
Introducing New Talent
Aamir Khan Productions is excited to introduce 10 new talents: Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. The film 'Sitare Zameen Par' is directed by R. S. Prasanna, who also directed the hit movie 'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan'. The movie stars Aamir Khan and
Genelia Deshmukh in the main roles. The songs have lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya and music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The story is written by Divy Nidhi Sharma. The film is produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, with Ravi Bhagchandka as co-producer. 'Sitare Zameen Par' will hit theaters on June 20, 2025.
