Aamir kicks off Sitaare Zameen Par; to wrap up next edition of his dramatic franchise in a start-to-finish schedule

After a year-long effort to arrive at the appropriate script to kick off his next, Aamir Khan returned to the set for RS Prasanna’s Sitaare Zameen Par. Touted to be based on the theme of his highly successful 2007 film, Taare Zameen Par, this edition will be shot in a start-to-finish schedule in Mumbai.

A source close to the production tells mid-day, “Aamir has been reporting for the 7 am shoot daily. So far, the team has been filming at different locations each day. Yesterday,  the shoot was held at Country Club. The ensemble will join the schedule later this month as shooting is expected to continue till the end of April.” 

Sitaare Zameen Par is a remake of the Spanish hit, Campeones (2018), a sports comedy-drama based on a basketball coach who is sentenced to community service, and forced to work with a team of mentally disabled players. While it was originally expected to star Farhan Akhtar in the lead, the project has landed in Khan’s lap. The actor will star alongside Genelia D’Souza in the drama.
