Bollywood fans are eagerly waiting for the release of Aamir Khan's upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par, scheduled for June 20, 2025. The movie marks the Bollywood superstar's comeback on the big screen after an underwhelming performance in Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022. Sitaare Zameen Par is the spiritual sequel to the actor's 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par, which starred Darsheel Safary. As the team gears up for the release, a new issue has arisen. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has reportedly requested two edits in the film, which Aamir Khan believes are unnecessary, leading to a dispute and a potential delay in the film's release. However, a latest update suggests that the release will happen as planned. ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ Title Track: Aamir Khan and Genelia D’Souza Cheer On Their Specially-Abled Basketball Team in This Peppy Song by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy (Watch Video).

‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ To Face Delay After CBFC Dispute?

With less than a week left for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par, a report in Bollywood Hungama revealed that the CBFC has suggested two cuts in the upcoming Aamir Khan-starrer. However, the actor and the film's director, RS Prasanna, believe the film should be cleared without any changes. A source told the portal, "The CBFC has asked for two cuts. Aamir Khan feels the film should be passed without these cuts. He and director RS Prasanna have made the film with a lot of thought. Certain scenes and dialogues, when seen in context, seem completely appropriate."

The insider added that because Aamir Khan did not accept the suggested changes, a censor certificate for Sitaare Zameen Par wasn't provided. The actor will meet the BFC Examining Committee on Monday (June 16) and hopefully reach a solution. Once that happens, advance bookings for the film will open up.

As per the latest update, Aamir Khan's film will go on with its scheduled release date and hit the big screens on June 20, 2025. According to a Bollywood Hungama report, Sitaare Zameen Par has received clearance from the CBFC. However, it is unclear how the two parties came to a mutual agreement. With the certificate in hand, the advance bookings will open soon. ‘Is This Real Aamir Khan?’: ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ Director RS Prasanna Recalls 8-Hour First Meeting With Aamir Khan.
