Sitaare Zameen Par first-look poster out! Aamir Khan brings stars to basketball court

Fans of Aamir Khan have reason to be super excited over the official unveiling of the Sitaare Zameen Par first-look poster. On June 20, cinemas will welcome the Hindi adaptation of Woody Harrelson starring comedy-drama Champions from 2023.

Aamir Khan leads a unique team

Aamir Khan Productions produces Sitaare Zameen Par, a screenplay by Divy Nidhi Sharma and directed by R.S. Prasanna (watch Shubh Mangal Saavdhan). The first-look poster for the film is colourful and welcoming, conveying the impression that it will be an uplifting celebration of love, laughter, and joy. "Sabka Apna Apna Normal" is the slogan that encourages viewers to embrace their neurodiversity and special qualities.

Aamir Khan, basketball in hand, sports an equal face parts ferocious and playful on the poster. A group of athletically inclined young adults with intellectual challenges surround him. They bring a vibrant and captivating visual to the table with their unique personalities. The poster's doodles of stars, basketballs, and other amusing scribbles add to its upbeat vibe and give away the film's intended tone, which is both light-hearted and socially conscious.

Adaptation of Champions

A basketball coach in the original Champions film was compelled by a court to oversee a team of intellectually disabled players, but he soon discovers that the players have more to teach him than he had anticipated. It is anticipated that Sitaare Zameen Par will adapt the story with cultural sensitivity and emotional depth for Indian audiences while retaining its essential essence.

The film is both an artistic venture and a stride towards representation in mainstream Indian cinema thanks to its ensemble cast, which includes Genelia Deshmukh (watch Boys), Dolly Ahluwalia, and a slew of gifted newbies namely Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar, who have experienced neurodiversity. Amitabh Bhattacharya penned the lyrics and the renowned combo Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composed the music.

What to expect

"A film celebrating love, laughter and happiness" was the caption that accompanied the poster's release on Instagram.

Sitaare Zameen Par has all the makings of a landmark cultural achievement thanks to its moving subject matter, A-list cast, and timely social message. An uplifting tale that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit will be presented to viewers.
