Aamir Khan Reveals Sitaare Zameen Par Will Release On Christmas, Gives Major Update On Climax

Bollywood’s perfectionist Aamir Khan is back with a double dose of nostalgia for us.

The man who made us laugh, cry, and rethink our school days with Taare Zameen Par is now ready to sprinkle some more stardust with its sequel Sitaare Zameen Par. And here’s the cherry on top: it’s hitting theaters this Christmas. Aamir has reunited with actor Darsheel Safary, who portrayed the young Ishaan in Taare Zameen Par, after 16 years with the upcoming film.

Aamir Khan recently attended the Republic Day 2025 celebrations at the Statue of Unity in Gujarat where he shared updates about his upcoming projects. At the event, Aamir was asked if any of his upcoming projects would be filmed in the state. To this, the actor revealed that the climax of Sitaare Zameen Par was shot in Vadodara, Gujarat.

He said, “The sequel to Taare Zameen Par is Sitaare Zameen Par, and the climax of that movie was shot in Vadodara.”

Reflecting on his long connection with the state, Aamir shared, “When I was young, many of my father’s films were shot in Gujarat. I was very small at that time, so I would come here. Today, all those memories have come rushing back. There have been a lot of changes in Vadodara. There are many luxurious buildings now, and the roads have improved significantly. When I first came here, I was probably around 12 years old. A lot of changes have taken place in this area since then.”

“Gujarat has been closely associated with filmmaking for a long time. It is a very vibrant place, with a strong connection to cinema, culture, and art. From the film industry’s side, we would definitely love to come here and shoot,” he added.

Sitaare Zameen Par follows the story of Ishaan’s journey. Aamir said that the film is set to release by the end of this year, aiming for Christmas. “My next film as a lead actor is Sitaare Zameen Par. We are trying to release it by the end of this year, on the occasion of Christmas. It is an entertaining film, I like the story. The shooting of the film has begun,” he said.

Apart from acting, Aamir is also producing Sitaare Zameen Par. Genelia D’Souza is expected to feature in a pivotal role.

Christmas releases have always been Aamir’s turf (hello, Dangal and PK), and it seems like the Mr. Perfectionist + Santa vibes combo never fails. But wait, is it going to make us bawl like Taare Zameen Par? We’ll have to wait and watch.
