Described as a thematic successor to 'Taare Zameen Par', Aamir shared that while 'Sitaare Zameen Par' touches upon similar issues, its treatment is refreshingly different.

“I am working on a film now (Sitaare Zameen Par) which is almost ready. It is the sequel of 'Taare Zameen Par'. Thematically, it is going ten steps ahead. It is about people who are differently abled. It is about love, friendship and life. 'Taare Zameen Par' made you cry but this film will make you laugh. It’s a comedy but the theme is the same,” he shared.

Unlike his character Ram Shankar Nikumbh from 'Taare Zameen Par', who was empathetic and gentle, Aamir’s new role brings a sharp contrast. “My character in 'Taare Zameen Par' was Nikumb, who is a very sensitive person. In this film my character’s name is Gulshan but his personality is exactly opposite to Nikumbh. He is not sensitive at all. He is very rude, politically incorrect and he insults everybody. He fights with his wife, mother. He is a basketball coach and he beats up his senior coach. He is a person with a lot of internal problems, and the story is how he changes with the film. How these people in the spectrum teach him what it is to be a good human being,” Aamir explained.

The film is an adaptation of the Spanish sports dramedy 'Champions', and will be directed by RS Prasanna. Alongside Aamir, the cast includes Taare Zameen Par’s Darsheel Safary and actress Genelia Deshmukh in lead roles.

'Sitaare Zameen Par' was officially announced in October 2023, but a release date has yet to be confirmed.
