After winning hearts with Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan Productions is shifting the focus to the unseen pillars behind the film’s emotional journey. The trailer of Sitaaron Ke Sitaare is now out, offering a touching glimpse into the lives of the parents whose children became the young stars of the much-loved sports comedy-drama.
A Tribute to the Unsung Heroes
Sitaaron Ke Sitaare shines a light on the parents who quietly supported, nurtured, and stood by their children as they stepped into the world of cinema. While Sitaare Zameen Par resonated with audiences as a heartfelt family entertainer, the documentary expands that universe by exploring what unfolded beyond the camera. Through intimate moments, candid conversations, and everyday realities, the film captures pride, vulnerability, struggle, and unconditional support that shaped the children’s journeys.
Expanding the Emotional World of Sitaare Zameen Par
The trailer hints at deeply personal stories — parents navigating uncertainty, balancing normalcy with sudden change, and growing alongside their children’s dreams. It positions the documentary not just as a companion piece, but as an emotional extension of the original film, reminding viewers that every young performer’s success is backed by quiet resilience at home.
Aamir Khan Productions’ Unconventional Storytelling
Directed by Shaanib Bakshi, the documentary continues Aamir Khan Productions’ tradition of choosing meaningful and unconventional narratives. It follows the studio’s earlier decision to make Sitaare Zameen Par accessible via YouTube under the “Janta Ka Theater” initiative at a nominal price — a move that challenged traditional distribution and widened reach across audiences.
Release Details
Sitaaron Ke Sitaare is set to premiere on December 19, 2025, exclusively on Aamir Khan Talkies, making it a must-watch for fans of the film and those drawn to real, human stories behind cinema.
