Entertainment: Bollywood actor Aamir Khan recently attended the 2025 Republic Day celebrations at the iconic Statue of Unity in Gujarat. During the event, the superstar shared updates on his upcoming projects, including the highly anticipated sequel to Taare Zameen Par, titled Sitaare Zameen Par. The sequel marks Aamir's reunion with Darsheel Safary, who played the young Ishaan in the original film 16 years ago.

Aamir revealed an exciting detail about the sequel, stating, "The climax of Sitaare Zameen Par was shot in Vadodara, Gujarat."

Aamir’s fond memories of Gujarat

Reflecting on his long-standing connection with Gujarat, Aamir spoke about his childhood visits to the state when his father’s films were being shot there. “When I was young, many of my father's films were shot in Gujarat. I was very small at that time, so I would come here. Today, all those memories have come rushing back,” he shared.

Aamir also commented on the transformation of Vadodara over the years, saying, "There have been a lot of changes in Vadodara. There are many luxurious buildings now, and the roads have improved significantly. When I first came here, I was probably around 12 years old. A lot of changes have taken place in this area since then."

Gujarat: A vibrant Hub for filmmaking

Highlighting Gujarat’s strong ties to the Indian film industry, Aamir expressed his admiration for the region's cultural and artistic heritage. "Gujarat has been closely associated with filmmaking for a long time. It is a very vibrant place, with a strong connection to cinema, culture, and art. From the film industry's side, we would definitely love to come here and shoot," he added.

Release details and star cast of Sitaare Zameen Par

Speaking about the film, Aamir announced that Sitaare Zameen Par is slated for a Christmas release later this year. He described the film as an entertaining journey that follows Ishaan’s life story. "My next film as a lead actor is Sitaare Zameen Par. We are trying to release it by the end of this year, on the occasion of Christmas. It is an entertaining film; I like the story. The shooting of the film has begun," Aamir confirmed.

In addition to playing the lead role, Aamir is producing the movie, which is expected to feature actress Genelia D'Souza in a pivotal role.
