Aamir Khan breaks his own rule: Sitaare Zameen Par is finally heading to OTT

## A Change in Strategy

Aamir Khan's film 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is set to make its digital debut on Sony LIV, marking a shift from Khan's initial distribution plan. Originally, Khan had intended to release the film on a pay-per-view basis via YouTube, avoiding traditional streaming platforms. However, the film will now be available on Sony LIV, although the exact release date remains unannounced.

## Film Details

Directed by RS Prasanna, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is often seen as a spiritual successor to Khan's 2007 hit 'Taare Zameen Par'. The story follows a basketball coach who, after a DUI incident, is tasked with training a team of neurodivergent players as part of his legal punishment. The film features actors such as Genelia Deshmukh and Ashish Pendse, and is produced by Aamir Khan Productions.

## Box Office and Reception

Upon its theatrical release in June last year, the film was well-received and grossed over ₹265 crore globally. Despite its success, Khan's decision to initially bypass streaming platforms sparked discussions about the balance between theatrical releases and digital distribution.

## Khan's Perspective

Khan has been vocal about his preference for theatrical releases, citing his loyalty to cinemas. He admitted to initially misleading audiences about the film's release strategy to protect its box office performance. Now, with its upcoming availability on Sony LIV, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' will reach a broader audience through a more conventional streaming approach.
