Mumbai: After a two-year-hiatus, actor Aamir Khan is making a comeback to the silver screen with his new movie ‘Sitaare Zameen Par.’
Even as the filmmakers had planned to release the trailer of the highly-anticipated movie this week, reports reveal that they have now postponed the event as a gesture of respect for the 26 lives lost in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
“Aamir Khan and his team felt it would be inappropriate to proceed with the launch at this time,” Hindustan Times reported, quoting sources.
The new release date for the trailer launch of the film will be announced soon.
‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is a sequel to Aamir’s 2007 hit film ‘Taare Zameen Par.’
The film, which is slated to release in December this year, also features Darsheel Safary and Genelia D’Souza in pivotal roles.
While talking about the film during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Aamir said, “Well, it’s a beautiful story. The easiest way I can describe it is that Taare Zameen Par is a very emotional film that makes you cry. Sitaare Zameen Par makes you laugh; it’s a humorous film. The theme is similar – about people with different abilities, different intelligence, or different challenges – but it’s humour instead of emotion.”
He added, “In many ways, I feel it’s way ahead of Taare Zameen Par, because in Taare Zameen Par, the person with the challenge – Ishaan – was helped by my character. In Sitaare Zameen Par, it’s ten people with challenges who help me, the supposedly ‘normal’ person. So I feel it goes much further. I hope it turns out well.”
