That film made you cry, this one will make you laugh.”
Is Sitaare Zameen Par similar to Taare Zameen Par?
In a recent interview, Aamir Khan shared more details about his upcoming acting venture. He stated, “But the theme is the same that’s why we kept this name very thoughtfully. We all have flaws, we all have weaknesses, but we all also have something special. So, we are taking forward this theme, but this time the character of the special child Ishaan in that film, my character helps that character in Taare Zameen Par, in Sitaare Zameen Par, those 9 boys, who have their own issues they help me. It’s the opposite.”
