Superstar Aamir Khan has updated on his next film "Sitaare Zameen Par", saying the movie will come out in theatres by mid-2025.
The upcoming film will be a sequel to Khan's 2007 film "Taare Zameen Par", which was a debut effort from him and highly acclaimed.
Khan, who has been on an acting break since the release of his 2022 film "Laal Singh Chaddha", said the film will start post-production later this month.
"We are coming to the post-production later this month. We would be ready to release the film sometime middle of next year," the 59-year-old actor told American news outlet Deadline on the sidelines of Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
According to Khan, though "Sitaare Zameen Par" is the sequel to "Taare Zameen Par", none of the characters from the former movie would appear in the latter.
"Tare Zameen Par" was the story of an eight-year-old boy gifted with a photographic mind named Ishaan. Khan portrayed his art teacher who discovered that the boy was suffering from dyslexia and assisted him to unearth his true talent.
"It's a brand new set of characters, completely a new situation and plot. The theme-wise, it's a sequel to 'Taare Zameen Par'. It is telling the same things. Actually it's much more," said Khan.
Khan describes "Taare Zameen Par" as a film that explores some of the challenges of having multiple intelligences and how some people are quick to stereotype others.
"All of us have difficulties and weakness, all of us have qualities about ourselves which make us magical and unique. That is the theme being taken forward in 'Sitaare Zameen Par'," he added.
