Sony LIV is set to debut R. S. Prasanna's basketball-themed film 'Sitaare Zameen Par' as the first Hindi theatrical film to premiere on the service. This decision marks a significant change for the streaming platform, which has primarily focused on originals.
The film, starring Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan as coach Gulshan Arora, follows his character's journey through community service training a team of neurodivergent athletes. Originally released in theaters in June 2025, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' became the sixth-largest Hindi-language movie of that year in India.
Aamir Khan Productions produced the film, which also features Genelia Deshmukh and a cast of emerging actors. Khan, known for hits like '3 Idiots', has been increasingly involved in production, with 'Sitaare Zameen Par' and 'Laapataa Ladies' among his recent projects.
