Aamir Khan to Revisit Lagaan Village After 20 Years for THIS Special Reason
Aamir Khan is heading back to the village near Bhuj where he shot the much-loved Lagaan over twenty years ago. This time, though, it is not for a film shoot but for something even more special. He is returning with his latest release Sitaare Zameen Par for a heartfelt screening in the very place that played such an important role in his journey. The visit is filled with emotion and nostalgia as the locals get ready to welcome him once again, celebrating both the past and a new chapter in storytelling.
The screening is part of Aamir’s personal effort to make cinema more accessible to people who may not have theatres nearby. Sitaare Zameen Par has already received a lot of love across India and is now available on YouTube through a pay per view model. But for Aamir, this is not just about digital access. “This is what I call Janta Ka Theatre,” he said, explaining his idea of creating a space where people from every corner of the country can enjoy films without needing to travel far or spend too much.
The film brings together ten fresh faces introduced by Aamir Khan Productions along with Aamir and Genelia Deshmukh in the lead. Directed by R S Prasanna, known for his work on Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, the film mixes warmth, humour and heart. With music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya and a screenplay by Divy Nidhi Sharma, Sitaare Zameen Par was released in theatres on June 20 and has already connected with a wide audience.
Aamir also shared the thought behind launching his own YouTube channel Aamir Khan Talkies a few months ago. He always wanted a direct platform to release his films after their theatre run. “That is why I did not sell the rights of Sitaare Zameen Par. I had this plan in mind from the beginning,” he said. The channel now has more than three lakh subscribers and all future films from his production house will be released there for just Rs 100, making it easier for everyone to watch stories.
