Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par gets CBFC green light with no cuts

Aamir Khan’s upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par has been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) without any edits, despite earlier reports suggesting a clash over suggested cuts.

The matter was reportedly resolved after a meeting with board officials, allowing the film to proceed to release without alterations.

Slated to hit theatres on June 20, the film is a spiritual successor to the 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par. Directed by RS Prasanna, it centers on a disillusioned basketball coach (played by Aamir Khan) who, after a DUI sentence, is assigned to train neurodivergent adults. What begins as community service soon transforms into a personal journey of empathy and growth.

Backed by Aamir Khan Productions, the film features Genelia Deshmukh in a pivotal role and introduces nine neurodivergent children in prominent parts. It also stars 10 newcomers and marks the screen debut of Aamir’s 90-year-old mother, Zeenat Hussain, along with his sister, Nikhat Hegde.
