Why was Sitaare Zameen Par stuck with CBFC?

Sitaare Zameen Par faced a minor issue with CBFC since the film body suggested two edits which Aamir refused to comply to. The actor-filmmaker is of the belief that certain edits cannot be made because the film would get affected with these kinds of edits. Thus, Aamir reportedly stood by his word. However, there's still no clarity on whether the edits were made before Sitaare Zameen Par was passed by the censor board.

Apart from Aamir Khan, Sitaare Zameen Par marks Genelia D’Souza Deshmukh’s comeback to Hindi films. The movie is the Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood film Champions, originally adapted from the Spanish movie Campeones. Sitaare Zameen Par will also bring Darsheel Safary of Taare Zameen Par back on the big screen. Interestingly, Aamir has maintained that Sitaare Zameen Par is the soul sequel to Taare Zameen Par. The film will be out in theatres on June 20 as scheduled.
