Aamir Khan to release Sitaare Zameen Par on his YouTube channel
With speculation of Sitaare Zameen Par`s OTT release, Aamir Khan has put the platform debate to an end by announcing the film will now stream on YouTube. The actor who launched his YouTube channel, Aamir Khan Talkies, in March has decided to release many of his films on the platform.
Aamir opened up about the same at a recent event and said, “This was the reason why I did not give away the rights of my film Sitaare Zameen Par, as this plan was in motion. Our plan is to release every film under the Aamir Khan Production banner on YouTube after they complete the theatrical run. Each movie will be available at a minimal cost of Rs100.”
The actor is focusing on an affordable subscription plan where everyone can see his iconic movies, including Lagaan and Taare Zameen Par, at a minimal cost.
With the channel already enjoying over three lakh subscribers, the content on the channel would be ad-free.
Aamir Khan`s plans with his YouTube channel
“After Sitaare, films like Lagaan (2001), Taare Zameen Par (2007), and Peepli Live (2010) will be available on the channel. Some timeless classics produced or associated with my father (late filmmaker Tahir Hussain), such as Caravan (1971) and Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), will also be available, to offer a rare blend of nostalgia and cinematic heritage,” the superstar added.

The 60-year-old says he also wants to use this move and his platform to encourage up-and-coming filmmakers who have great stories to tell but struggle to get a theatrical or an OTT release.
Aamir Khan shared, “By showcasing their films on the channel, I wish to provide visibility and opportunity to emerging talent. While we will take a nominal fee from the earnings, the idea is to ensure creators benefit directly from their own work.”
More about Sitaare Zameen Par
The latest release was a sequel to the 2007 blockbuster, Taare Zameen Par, which featured Aamir, Tisca Chopra, and Darsheel Safary in leading roles. It dealt with dyslexia and how it often goes undiagnosed in a traditional Indian family.
Sitaare Zameen Par was on a similar plot but dealt with themes of inclusivity and normalising difference, as it revolved around aspiring basketball players who are intellectually disabled.
The 2025 release did exceptionally well at the box office. It also starred Genelia Deshmukh in the lead.
