Initially reluctant, he soon becomes profoundly invested in helping them win a tournament.
The film serves as a spiritual sequel to Aamir's directorial debut, “Taare Zameen Par”, and 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.
This movie signifies Aamir’s return to the big screen after his 2022 release, “Laal Singh Chaddha”, which was the official Indian adaptation of “Forrest Gump”.
