Aamir Khan defends 'Sitaare Zameen Par' amid its trolling for being a remake: 'After Laal Singh Chaddha, people told me...'

Aamir Khan is gearing up for his next release Sitaare Zameen Par that’s the remake of the Spanish film Campeones. After Laal Singh Chaddha, this is another remake by the actor and he has defended the film as it releases on June 20.

Khan said, “People still do Shakespeare to this day. Even today, the number one playwright in theatre is Shakespeare, worldwide. Even today, his plays are adapted in every language. And we praise it. Kyun bhai? Remake hai, usko band karo (Why though? It’s a remake, shut it).”

The actor added, “You write your own play, why are you doing Shakespeare). This is wrong thinking. When I adapt Shakespeare, I am putting my energies into it. I find this discussion on remakes useless.”

Aamir further revealed, “After Laal Singh (Chaddha), a lot of people told me, ‘you are making a remake again’. Laal Singh was trolled heavily for being a remake. But I am a different kind of person.”

He continued, “I don’t understand practical things. I don’t have any problem with a remake, and I don’t feel my creativity is diminishing at all. For me, it is new work. Someone else made this story, and I am giving it my perspective.”

Also ,Aamir revealed that Taare Zameen Par connected him deeply as it showed his own experience. The actor shared that he didn’t understand  Junaid  ’s struggles with reading and writing initially but supported him when he came to know about his condition.

In January, the Loveyapa actor revealed how his parents, Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta, realised that he has dyslexia. The actor further shared that his parents realised that the child in the story was having similar experiences as Junaid while reading Taare Zameen Par’s script.
