Aamir Khan Releases Film Directly on YouTube, Bypassing Theaters

Aamir Khan, the renowned Bollywood actor and producer, has made a groundbreaking decision to release his latest film "Sitaare Zameen Par" directly on YouTube for global audiences. Scheduled to premiere on the platform on August 1, 2025, the heartwarming sports drama will be available for rent at an affordable price in India and 38 international markets, including the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and more.

This strategic move marks a significant shift in the traditional film distribution model, as Khan aims to make the film accessible to a wider audience who may not have geographical access to theaters or the ability to visit them. By leveraging the widespread reach of YouTube, Khan hopes to bring the cinematic experience directly into people's homes and devices, turning every household into a "janta ka theatre."

The film, a spiritual successor to the 2007 classic "Taare Zameen Par," celebrates themes of love, laughter, and inclusivity, featuring a powerful ensemble cast that includes 10 actors with intellectual disabilities. With its global release on YouTube, "Sitaare Zameen Par" is poised to break down geographical and other barriers, allowing creative voices to tell diverse stories and reach a larger audience.
