Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par has kept audiences excited ever since its announcement. After a long wait, the makers finally dropped the first official poster of the film, giving audiences a glimpse of yet another joyful, refreshing, and enchanting tale. While the poster raised excitement to new heights, the actor has made a historic move with his new film.
This remake of the Spanish film Campeones will not release on any OTT platform like Netflix or Prime Video. The film, post its theatrical release on June 20, will be available on YouTube on the basis of pay-per-view, something never done before for a Hindi film.
A source said, “Aamir doesn’t want to release his films directly on streaming after their theatrical run, as it discourages viewers from watching movies on the big screen. It is also a reason why there is no streaming logo on the poster of Sitaare Zameen Par.”
One user wrote a long comment that read- “He’s refusing to release the movie for foreseeable future on normal OTT to make the audience interested choose to go to the theatre instead of thinking we’ll watch it when it comes to OTT. The audience that never was interested or in 50 50 mind will not be affected at all.”
The comment added, “I think OTT probably refused to accept a big window between theatre and OTT release. If this works in Aamir’s favour he might actually lead Bollywood in the right direction. The message isn’t buy it on YT for PPV the message is this won’t be on OTT any time soon so watch it in theatre.”
A spiritual sequel to the 2007 superhit Taare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par is a film that everyone is eagerly looking forward to. After the first poster showcased Aamir Khan along with 10 debutant actors, audiences are now hooked and eager to see more of the film.
