Aamir Khan on why we must support all stories
Just days after ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ hit cinemas, Aamir Khan spoke in an interview with Pinkvilla about why it’s so important for audiences to support different kinds of films. He pointed out that the kinds of stories we choose to watch directly shape what filmmakers make in future. Aamir said,
“People love stories. All kinds of stories. If you only support action films, that’s all filmmakers will make. And then you will have to watch only action movies in theatres. If you like all types of films and want to watch all types of films, go to theatres. Your support gives creators the freedom to tell diverse stories."
He also shared how the audience’s choices give power back to creators. “Studios often command us to make a certain kind of film, and we have to follow. But when audiences back unique stories, it gives us the strength to create what’s in our hearts.”
About the film
Many might think ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is just about sports. But at its heart, it’s much more. The film tells the touching story of a basketball coach, played by Aamir Khan, who takes on the task of training a team of players with special needs. Alongside him is Genelia D’Souza, who adds her own warmth to the film. The movie also proudly introduces ten new faces — Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra and Simran Mangeshkar. These young actors bring real heart to their roles and make the story shine.
