Aamir Khan graced the screening of his production venture, Laapataa Ladies, at IIM Bengaluru alongside the film's director and his former wife, Kiran Rao. This event, held on Tuesday, not only provided a platform for the film's showcase but also became a forum for Aamir to engage with his inquisitive fans about his upcoming acting projects.

During the post-screening media interaction, Aamir Khan addressed queries about his forthcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par. Aamir revealed that the film is envisioned as the next chapter of Taare Zameen Par, essentially a part 2. While the narrative and characters have taken a new direction, the core theme endures. Aamir emphasized a shift in the emotional tone, highlighting that, unlike its predecessor, Sitaare Zameen Par is geared towards generating laughter rather than tears.

Aamir's last appearance was in Advait Chandan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, released in 2022, and he eagerly shared insights about his next project. Aamir's update on the anticipated release generated buzz among fans, marking a significant development in the progress of Sitaare Zameen Par, a film he announced the previous year.

In a previous interview with Indian Express during Laapataa Ladies promotions, Aamir discussed Sitaare Zameen Par, revealing, “I commenced shooting for my new film, Sitaare Zameen Par, on February 1. It's the next level of Taare Zameen Par, like part 2. It isn't the same story, and the characters differ.” He emphasized that while the theme remains, the contrast lies in the emotional tone. Unlike Taare Zameen Par, which evoked tears, Sitaare Zameen Par aims to elicit laughter. Directed by Prasanna, the film promises entertainment while addressing a similar theme from a fresh perspective.
