Aamir Khan opens about his character in ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’

Bollywood veteran Aamir Khan has shared the details about his role in the upcoming film.

Sitaare Zameen Par is not a direct sequel to the 2007 family musical, which means his character won’t be anything like ‘Nikumbh’.

According to Khan, he will be playing completely opposite of what he played in the previous film. His character, Gulshan is a brash, politically incorrect person and insults everyone.

The 60-year-old shared, that his character, “fights with his wife, his mother, and even beats up his senior coach. He’s a basketball coach with deep-rooted internal issues.”

“The story is about how he transforms through his interactions with people on the spectrum, and learns what it means to be truly human."

In recent fan interaction on X, the 3 idiots actor opened that he is currently working on the new film and it is almost ready.

“It’s not a direct sequel to Taare Zameen Par, but thematically, it goes ten steps ahead.”

As per Aamir, where “Taare Zameen Par made you cry, this one will make you laugh. It’s a comedy, but with the same underlying message—it’s about love, friendship, and the lives of people who are differently abled."

Khan’s upcoming film will also feature Genelia D’Souza in significant role.
