Aamir Khan has said that the OTT release of his film Sitaare Zameen Par was part of the original strategy, though he did not want it to follow immediately after its theatrical run.
Speaking to PTI, the actor said he was clear from the beginning about releasing the film on a digital platform but preferred a gap after its cinema release. The film is now set to stream on SonyLIV from April 3, allowing those who missed it in theatres to watch it at home.
Aamir also said the platform will release a documentary titled Sitaaron Ke Sitaare, which focuses on the real-life parents of the neurodivergent actors featured in the film.
He described the documentary as a special project that shifts the spotlight to the parents, calling them the “real superstars” for their role in raising and supporting the 10 young actors.
The actor made the comments while attending the red carpet of the inaugural International Film Festival Delhi in the capital.
Earlier, Aamir Khan Productions had announced that the film, which had initially skipped an OTT window, would soon be released on streaming.
Besides Aamir, the film also stars Genelia Deshmukh and introduces 10 neurodivergent debutants. It is being described as a spiritual sequel to Taare Zameen Par.
The film grossed around Rs 265 crore worldwide, emerging as one of the highest-grossing films of last year.
