Aamir Khan CONFIRMS Christmas Comeback, to Release Sitaare Zameen Par in Dec 2024: 'Shoot Has Begun'

Aamir Khan is eyeing to rule the Christmas 2024 box office yet again. The actor, who has often released his films on the occasion of Christmas, has confirmed that he will be releasing his comeback film Sitaare Zameen Par on Christmas this year. This would mark his first Christmas release in eight years. He last released a film on Christmas in 2016, rolling out his blockbuster film Dangal. Sitaare Zameen Par will also mark his comeback film. Aamir went on a break after Laal Singh Chaddha’s failure.

Speaking with TV9 during their conclave, Aamir confirmed that Sitaare Zameen Par will be a Christmas release. “My next film as a lead actor, which has just begun filming, is Sitaare Zameen Par. We are trying to release it by the end of this year, on the occasion of Christmas. It is an entertaining film, I like the story. The shooting of the film has begun,” he said.

“But besides that, you will be able to see me not as a lead actor in the film but I am doing a few things. Let’s see how the audience reacts,” Aamir said, before added, “I am doing a few small roles.”

Aamir’s confirmation about Sitaare Zameen Par’s filming comes a few weeks after Pinkvilla reported that Aamir has back-to-back shoot schedule starting this February. A source told the publication, “Aamir has been in the prep mode for Sitaare Zameen Par over the last few months and is all set to take the film on floors from February 2. He has finally zeroed down on his look for the film and has done several reading sessions with the ensemble cast.”

“It’s going to be a marathon schedule for Sitaare Zameen Par and the actor has allotted 70 to 80 working days on the film. With a lot of time invested in pre-production, this would be among the fastest films that Aamir would deliver to the audience,” the insider added.

Sitaare Zameen Par also stars Genelia Deshmukh in the lead. This marks Genelia and Aamir’s first film together.
