The prepping for the film has begun extensively and it is all set to go on floors from February 3, 2024. The movie will be directed by RS Prasanna. A source close to the development revealed to Pinkvilla, “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.” However, it is unclear whether the movie is a sequel to Aamir’s 2007 cult film Taare Zameen Par. The rumours of the same sparked since Sitaare Zameen Par sounds familiar to the 2007 film.
