When Sitaare Zameen Par was initially released in August 2025, it was announced that the film would not be available on streaming platforms, even after its theatrical release. Now, as the film is set to launch on OTT, Aamir Khan recently said that releasing his film on OTT was always part of the strategy. He clarified that while the digital release was planned, he did not want it to happen immediately after the theatrical run.
Aamir Khan always wanted an OTT release for Sitaare Zameen Par
Speaking to PTI, Aamir said, “I was never in two minds. I always wanted an OTT release, but not so quickly after the theatre release. So it is now coming on SonyLIV on April 3, and I want audiences all across the country to enjoy the film. Those who have not had a chance to see it in theatres can now watch it on SonyLIV.”
Aamir revealed that in addition to the feature film, the streaming platform will also release a documentary titled Sitaaron Ke Sitaare. The documentary brings the spotlight to the real-life parents of the neurodivergent actors who starred in the film.
Explaining the idea behind the documentary, Aamir shared, “It`s a very special piece of content because it looks at the real superstars. The Sitaare are the superstars, but the real-life superstars are the parents of these 10 artists who have raised them and taken care of them. So that film really highlights the fact that the parents are the real superstars.”
Sitaare Zameen Par OTT release
A few days ago, Aamir Khan`s production house confirmed that Sitaare Zameen Par, which had earlier skipped an OTT release, will soon begin streaming on SonyLIV.
Apart from Aamir Khan, Sitaare Zameen Par also stars Genelia Deshmukh in a pivotal role. The film features 10 debutant neurodivergent actors, namely, Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishnan Varma, Vedant Sharma, Naman Misra, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Ashish Pendse, Samvit Desai, Simran Mangeshkar and Aayush Bhansali. The 2025 film is believed to be a spiritual sequel to the 2007 film Taare Zameen Par.
It earned Rs 265 crore worldwide and was one of the highest-grossing films of last year.
