Following the release of its trailer, Aamir Khan’s much-anticipated film Sitaare Zameen Par has lately been embroiled in controversy. Internet users have said that the film is a frame-by-frame replica of the English-language version of the 2018 Spanish film Campeones, the Hollywood adaptation of Champions.

Aamir Khan plays a basketball coach who assists a group of people with intellectual impairments in the Sitaare Zameen Par trailer. On June 20, 2025, the film is scheduled to open in theaters.

The trailer for Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par resembles the Champions movie that is accessible on JioHotstar and Prime Video, and internet users have identified comparable moments. One Reddit member said, “Even that tubelight falling scene and almost every gag is from the original,” highlighting the similarities in a frame-by-frame comparison. I thought Mamu would add some twist, but it’s a frame-by-frame remake. The story is 99 percent the same.

Many social media users are disappointed and frustrated by the charges, which have triggered a heated discussion with boycott requests. A user said, “After the Forrest Gump fiasco, he should have stayed away from remakes or adaptations.” “Fortunately, Champions is less popular than Forrest Gump, so fewer people may care,” another user wrote. Still, that doesn’t seem good. Another person said, “The Dexa minaret looks like Bollywood doesn’t have any original ideas.” This user also questioned the inventiveness of Bollywood directors.

Fans are thrilled with the actors in the Sitaare Zameen Par teaser, despite the controversy. Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh play the main characters in this R.S. Prasanna-directed film, which also has eleven first protagonists. A touching comedy with amusing situations that will both delight and move you is what the trailer promises.

A discredited coach serves as a mentor to a group of athletes who are all mentally challenged in the 2023 Hollywood film Champions. It’s surprising to see what these athletes with intellectual disabilities disclose about themselves and to witness how the coach’s life changes. JioHotstar and Prime Video both provide the movie for internet viewing. “A disgraced coach mentors a team of intellectually disabled athletes, revealing their surprising abilities and changing his own life,” is the film’s summary.

Questions about the film’s uniqueness and inventiveness have been highlighted by the debate surrounding Sitaare Zameen Par, which was produced by Aamir Khan. Although the trailer makes viewers eager for the film’s debut, the charges of plagiarism have damaged the film’s image. It will be fascinating to see how the filmmakers respond to these issues as the release date approaches and if they succeed in fulfilling their promise to viewers of an inspirational and upbeat film.
