Sequel
'Sitaare Zameen Par' is a spiritual successor to 'Taare...'
Sitaare Zameen Par is a spiritual successor to Khan's memorable 2007 film Taare Zameen Par.
While the original dealt with a dyslexic young boy, the upcoming movie adopts a lighter, more humorous approach as it tackles mental health and inclusivity.
In a different interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Khan called Sitaare Zameen Par "a beautiful story" and emphasized its humor.
Approach
'Sitaare Zameen Par' takes a different approach to mental health
Khan explained that Sitaare Zameen Par provides a different take on mental health.
In Taare Zameen Par, his character helps a child with dyslexia, while in the upcoming film, "it's the 10 people with challenges who help me, the supposedly normal person."
He hopes the film succeeds, adding, "I feel it goes much further. I hope it turns out well."
