by

With anticipation running high for the upcoming movie “Sitaare Zameen Par,” Aamir Khan appears to be working tirelessly to generate buzz. Since its announcement, there’s been a whirlwind of discussion surrounding this film. Now that the trailer and songs have been released online, excitement levels are soaring even higher! Did you know an intriguing detail? None other than Aamir Khan recommended Genelia Deshmukh for the female lead role, making us eager to witness this new pair on the big screen together.

In a recent conversation with Vickey Lalwani, director R.S. Prasanna discussed the unexpected choice of Genelia Deshmukh for the film. During their discussions on the female lead, it was Aamir Khan who proposed her name to them.

Discussing Genelia Deshmukh’s involvement, Prasanna shared that during conversations with Aamir Khan about potential cast members, the Laal Singh Chaddha star proposed her name. He mentioned to me that Riteish Deshmukh is a close friend of his and he recently interacted with the couple where the actress from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa expressed her wish to re-enter the film industry.

Speaking as a lifestyle expert, allow me to share my thoughts on the captivating female characters I’ve had the pleasure of working with in my recent projects. Much like Ria Sharma, the strong-willed protagonist from Shubh Mangal Savdhaan, the heroine in Sitaare Zameen Par embodies a unique blend of vulnerability and strength that truly resonates with today’s Indian woman. This dynamic character portrays the essence of a modern woman who fearlessly navigates life’s challenges while maintaining her emotional depth. I am eagerly looking forward to bringing this powerful role to the screen, as I believe it will inspire and connect with audiences on a deep level.

In response, the director reminisced about saying, “Sir, you are incredibly interesting because when you watch movies, there are many nuances and it’s a challenging role to perform, which she has pulled off exceptionally well. I believe Genelia possesses so much life, positivity, and joy that she brightens up the screen. It was a pleasure working with her.

On June 20, 2025, I’m excited to share that this movie will be gracing the big screens. Alongside Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh, you’ll see Dolly Ahluwalia, Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. The production is a collaboration between Aamir Khan, Aparna Purohit, and Ravi Bhagchandka, with Divy Nidhi Sharma taking care of the screenplay.
