Bollywood actor Aamir Khan recieved accolades for his 2007 film ‘Tare Zameen Par’ which explored the struggles of a dyslexic child who is sent to a boarding school after poor academic performance. Now, the actor has confirmed that he is working on a sequel called ‘Sitare Zameen Par’ which will focus on the theme of promoting mental health and children’s rights.
Speaking to News 18, Aamir said that the sequel will be 10 steps ahead of the original film, stressing that it aims to make the audience laugh instead of crying.
“I have not spoken about it publicly and I won’t be able to say much now also. But I can tell the title. The title of the film is Sitare Zameen Par. You must have remembered my film Taare Zameen Par and the name of this film is Sitare Zameen Par because we are moving 10 steps ahead with the same theme. Taare Zameen Par was an emotional film, this film will make you laugh. That film made you cry this one will entertain you.”
Nine boys will help his character in the film, the superstar stated.
“But the theme is the same that’s why we kept this name very thoughtfully. We all have flaws, we all have weaknesses, but we all also have something special, so we are taking forward this theme but this time the character of the special child Ishaan in that film, my character helps that character in Taare Zameen Par, in Sitare Zameen Par, those 9 boys, who have their own issues they help me. It’s the opposite.”
‘Tare Zameen Par’ revolved around the eight-year-old boy Ishaan, who struggles with dyslexia, being labelled a trouble maker by his teachers and family. After being dropped off at a boarding school, he meets art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who helps him open up with the love of art and becomes his tutor.
