Mumbai, June 8 (NationPress) Director R.S. Prasanna, who is eagerly anticipating the premiere of his new movie ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, has revealed insights from one of his initial meetings with Bollywood icon Aamir Khan.
Aamir plays the lead role in ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ and is also the film's producer. In a recent interview with IANS, Prasanna expressed that although he felt a wave of anxiety before their first encounter, his apprehension quickly faded once they began conversing. In a blink of an eye, their 8-hour discussion, which included both breakfast and lunch, had flown by.
During his chat with IANS, Prasanna reflected, “Initially, I pondered, ‘Who will produce this? Who will star in it?’ Almost instantly, Aamir Khan's name popped into my head, and fortuitously, they reached out to me. While I hadn’t met Aamir in person before, we had exchanged some virtual messages, and I strongly believed this story would resonate with Aamir.”
The director emphasized his perspective as a fan, stating, “I envisioned what I would love to see in a movie featuring Aamir Khan. This film encompasses all those aspects—entertainment, humor, and a poignant touch, making it an ideal candidate for a film starring Aamir Khan.”
He added, “To my surprise, Aamir agreed, which I never anticipated. After my debut film, to collaborate on my second project with Aamir Khan is monumental. I never expected this. I thought perhaps he would compliment the story but doubt my direction skills. However, he was incredibly gracious, putting me at ease and allowing me to take charge. I entered that first meeting out of trepidation, and we ended up having an 8-hour session that included breakfast and lunch.”
“I wondered, ‘Is this the real Aamir Khan or just someone pretending to be him?’ He was so approachable that within ten minutes, I found myself chatting freely, devoid of any anxiety. I realized he possesses a unique charm that makes everyone feel at ease, which boosted my confidence even further,” he remarked.
Produced by Aamir Khan under his esteemed banner, Aamir Khan Productions, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is scheduled to hit theaters on June 20, 2025.
