Aamir Khan resists CBFC's cuts, delays 'Sitaare Zameen Par' release
Aamir Khan's new film, Sitaare Zameen Par, has run into trouble with India's film censor board (CBFC), which wants two scenes cut.
Khan isn't budging—he feels these parts are key to the movie's message and plans to meet the board soon to explain why.
'Sitaare Zameen Par' is based on the Spanish film 'Campeones'
Directed by R.S. Prasanna and starring Genelia Deshmukh alongside Khan, Sitaare Zameen Par is a remake of the Spanish movie Campeones.
The story follows a basketball coach who trains players with disabilities.
While it's stuck with censors in India, the UK has already cleared it for viewers 12 and up (with an adult).
Film's release date depends on censor clearance
The movie can't open bookings or set a release date until it gets its censor certificate.
It was supposed to hit theaters on June 20, 2025, but everything depends on how Aamir's meeting with the CBFC goes.
