We wanted to tell a story that feels warm, joyful and full of heart — a film that families could sit together and enjoy. Seeing people across generations laugh, smile and get emotional together has been very special. For years, Sony MAX has brought families together to watch and enjoy films at home, so it feels really special that through Sony MAX, the film will now reach so many more homes across the country and continue sharing that same warmth and happiness.”
Actor, Genelia Deshmukh added, “What makes Sitaare Zameen Par so special is the joy and innocence with which it tells such an important story to audiences. We often label people based on what they can’t do, but this story celebrates all that they can achieve. I am so happy that families across the country will now get to experience this beautiful journey together during its World Television Premiere on Sony MAX.”
The film has been produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions by Aamir Khan alongside Aparna Purohit, with B. Shrinivas Rao and Ravi Bhagchandka serving as producers.
