According to report, nine years after ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ (2015), in which he lent his voice to the Mehra family’s pet dog, Pluto, Aamir Khan is set to team up with Zoya Akhtar for a film. They recently met to discuss a movie on which she wants to collaborate with him. Aamir is said to have liked the slice-of-life narrative with a middle-aged protagonist. Since he is known to not finalize a film until he hears the complete script, he has suggested Zoya develop the screenplay and meet him again for a narration. If all goes well, the film will be a joint production between Aamir’s banner and Zoya and Reema Kagti’s Tiger Baby Productions. For now, he is busy with RS Prasanna’s 'Sitare Zameen Par', slated to release around Christmas 2024.
Regarding his current work, Aamir Khan is busy working on 'Sitare Zameen Par". According to the latest report, Aamir Khan's 'Sitare Zameen Par' will focus on Down Syndrome and the challenges faced by individuals dealing with it.
A source close to the development revealed to Hindustan Times, "Just like ‘TZP’, Aamir Khan aims to bring attention to another condition stigmatized in our society through ‘Sitare Zameen Par’. He has found a heartfelt story that illuminates Down Syndrome and the experiences of those dealing with it. He intends to handle the subject with great sensitivity, creating an impact that encourages treating people with the syndrome as equals."
The source added that other details about the film are currently under wraps. It is not confirmed whether this film will mark Aamir Khan's directorial comeback or if he will only produce it. However, reports suggest that the movie will star Genelia Deshmukh and is scheduled for release on Christmas this year.
