Speaking in a event, Khan addressed the issue of piracy and its adverse impact on the film industry especially the people who pour their time, emotions, and creativity into the filmmaking process.
Aamir Khan, who has spent three years developing Sitaare Zameen Par, also highlighted the collective effort of the cast and crew behind the film’s creation.
The timing of Khan’s statement is particularly relevant, with recent films like Sikandar suffering from piracy leaks soon after their release.
Industry insiders have raised alarms over the growing menace, which not only eats into box office earnings but also undermines the integrity and message of the films themselves.
Directed by R.S. Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par is a sports comedy-drama and a spiritual successor to Khan’s 2007 film Taare Zameen Par.
It is also the official remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions and features real actors with Down Syndrome in pivotal roles.
The film stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh in lead roles and has been produced by Aamir Khan along with Aparna Purohit.
With just weeks left for its theatrical release, Khan’s passionate stance against piracy is not only a warning but a reminder of the respect and support every creative work deserves.
