Aamir Khan has now reversed his position about Sitaare Zameen Par being released on OTT services. Last year, he stated clearly that he would not release it on OTT services after the film has finished in theaters, but would put it directly on YouTube after its theatrical run.The film released in theaters June 20, and became available on YouTube to rent on August 1 for Rs 100.

In July last year, during a press conference in Mumbai, Aamir had reiterated that the film would skip OTT and go straight to YouTube. He said, “I fold my hands and apologise because I lied when I said Sitaare Zameen Par wouldn’t be released on YouTube. I did it because I had no other choice. I had to protect the film’s theatrical business. I am very loyal to theatres, my life began with cinema. So, I have always strived to protect the theatrical business of my films. Still, I apologise because I had to lie. Otherwise, my dreams for this film would’ve ended there.

Sitaare Zameen Par – which many consider as a spiritual sequel (following the success of the 2007 film Taare Zameen Par) has a story about a basketball coach who was arrested for drunk-driving and ordered to train a group of neurodiverse people by the court.The movie received positive reviews upon its release and did fairly well at the box office bringing in over ₹265 crores around the world.
