Aamir Khan Productions is bringing forth the stories of these parents, who served as the true strength and support for their children. The documentary, directed by Shanib Bakshi, will be available on December 19, 2025.
"Sitaare Zameen Par," a spiritual successor to the 2007 hit "Taare Zameen Par," has already touched millions of hearts with its heartwarming story. Now, the makers are taking a special step to introduce the world to the "real stars" behind the film. The documentary "Sitaaron Ke Sitaare" aims to showcase the love, sacrifices, hope, and pride that these parents embody as they walk hand-in-hand with their children.
The trailer for "Sitaaron Ke Sitaare" has already been released, offering a glimpse into the lives of the film's stars' parents, their struggles, and the precious moments shared with their children. The documentary delves into what it truly means to raise children with special needs in a society often riddled with bias, celebrating the quiet strength that makes these families shine. The parents share their origin stories and candidly discuss how their lives changed after having children with special needs, confronting societal biases and fighting to protect their children.
Aamir Khan Productions first introduced ten new talents to the audience in "Sitaare Zameen Par". These young actors include Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. R.S. Prasanna, known for directing "Shubh Mangal Saavdhan," directed "Sitaare Zameen Par".
"Sitaaron Ke Sitaare" will be available exclusively on the Aamir Khan Talkies YouTube channel. This release strategy aligns with Aamir Khan Productions' unconventional approach to storytelling, following their decision to make "Sitaare Zameen Par" available on YouTube for a nominal price through the "Janta Ka Theater" initiative. This approach challenges traditional distribution models and aims to broaden access for audiences across the country.
The documentary is directed by Shaanib Bakshi, with cinematography by Gururaj Dixit and editing by Ajit Kunda Nair.
