A longer wait

Speaking at the Red Sea International Film Festival, Aamir Khan revealed that he has deferred the release of his upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par. While it had been suggested that the film would hit theatres this month, Khan shared that post-production work is yet to commence. Talking to Deadline in Jeddah, Khan said, “We are coming to the post-production later this month. We would be ready to release the film in the middle of next year.” The superstar added that though the film is a sequel to Taare Zameen Par—his 2007 offering co-starring Darsheel Safary—it wouldn’t have the same characters. “It’s a fresh set of characters; a completely fresh situation and plot. Thematically, it is a sequel to Taare Zameen Par.”

Taking responsibility

Weighing in on the depiction of patriarchy in cinema, Aamir Khan recently shared that he isn’t in favour of films that celebrate a male protagonist who promotes chauvinistic ideas. In an interview with BBC Asian Network, Khan said, “It pushes us back a decade. A lot of people endorse patriarchy in a strong way; a lot of people endorse patriarchy in a very hidden way.” Khan, who has used his stardom to address societal issues such as domestic violence and abusive marriages with films like Secret Superstar (2017) and Laapataa Ladies (2023), says that elements of patriarchy remain ingrained in society, even to date. “They won’t go away overnight.”
