The filmmaker praised Aamir, recalling his awe since watching Lagaan and now working closely with him on Sitaare Zameen Par. "Heaping praise on Aamir, the filmmaker wrote, "From watching Lagaan on screen and picking up my jaw from the floor...To standing next to, learning from, admiring, and working with THE Aamir Sir...God has been extremely kind and generous," wrote the filmmaker.

Extremely trusting... And a Protector."

It's noteworthy that last year, a source close to the film's development revealed some key plot details. According to reports, Sitaare Zameen Par will revolve around a sports coach bonding with and training a team of specially-abled kids, reminiscent of Taare Zameen Par, which showcased the journey of a teacher and a specially-abled student.

The interpersonal dynamics and character growth in the film are akin to the cult classic, which is said to have influenced Aamir and his team to finalise the title Sitaare Zameen Par.

Interestingly, Sitaare Zameen Par is slated to release over the Christmas 2024 weekend, where it will clash with Akshay Kumar’s much-anticipated multi-starrer Welcome To The Jungle, directed by Ahmed Khan.
