“Aamir khan upcoming movie Sitaare zameen par is already getting backlash and its not enough movie has no original concept. It is copy of 2023

The film’s team has not yet revealed whether ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is a Hindi remake of the popular Spanish drama. The film is directed by Prasanna. Genelia Deshmukh plays a key role in it.

Aamir’s previous film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, an official Hindi remake of Oscar-winning film ‘Forrest Gump’, failed to entertain audience. Now his fans are hoping for Aamir’s succesful comeback with ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, which is scheduled to hit the theatres on June 20. (ANI)
