Mumbai, May 14 (NationPress) Bollywood actress Genelia Deshmukh has shared her thoughts on working with Aamir Khan in the eagerly awaited film “Sitaare Zameen Par.”
Genelia described the collaboration as “incredibly special,” highlighting her enthusiasm for being involved in a project that connects her with profound cinema and a remarkable talent like Aamir. She mentioned, “Teaming up with Aamir Khan Productions after all these years feels incredibly special. This character is unlike anything I’ve portrayed before! It’s emotional, nuanced, and deeply relatable. I’m genuinely thankful for the love the trailer has garnered, and I am excited for viewers to see the film.”
In this upcoming movie, Genelia plays a brief but significant role as Aamir Khan’s romantic interest. This project represents a nostalgic moment for Genelia, who previously stole hearts as Aditi in “Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na” (2008), a film also produced by Aamir Khan Productions.
The recently released trailer showcases Aamir as a tough, disillusioned basketball coach. The makers shared on social media, “1 Tingu Basketball Coach, 10 Toofani SITAARE aur unki journey. Watch #SitaareZameenPar #SabkaApnaApnaNormal, 20th June Only In Theatres. Trailer Out Now!” The trailer reveals a different side of Khan — departing from the empathetic teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh we previously admired. Now, he portrays a weary, irritable basketball coach, seemingly clashing with the world around him. As he trains a team of intellectually disabled youth, his journey is set to foster growth for both his players and himself.
Alongside Aamir and Genelia, the film features ten debutant actors: Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar.
“Sitaare Zameen Par,” which marks Aamir’s return to the big screen following his 2022 film “Laal Singh Chaddha,” is set to premiere in theatres on June 20.
