The 'Housefull 5' actor penned an appreciation note on his Instagram handle that read, 'Please do yourself a favour — go watch the best film of the year! #SitaareZameenPar is not just a movie, it's an experience. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry — and by the time it ends, it leaves you a better human being.' 'The true 'sitaares' of this film are the children — absolutely phenomenal performances that steal your heart and never let go,' he added. Calling Aamir Bollywood's finest actor, he added, 'Aamir Khan once again proves why he's one of the finest actors this country has ever seen. His performance is deeply layered, incredibly nuanced, and profoundly moving.' Praising his better half, Riteish wrote, '@geneliad is pure magic on screen. She lights up every frame with her presence — her eyes say everything, and I say this not just as a husband, but as a genuine fan of her craft.' Earlier, actress Tisca Chopra, who has been a part of Aamir Khan's 'Taare Zameen Par' also showered 'Sitaare Zameen Par' with love and admiration. Posting a happy photo with the film's team, Tisca penned on her IG, 'What Aamir does, only Aamir does. Had the absolute fortune of watching Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by the immensely talented @ with the entire cast and crew last night..' Lauding Aamir, she added, 'Having worked with Aamir on Taare Zameen Par and followed his extraordinary body of work over the years, my admiration for him—as both an actor and a filmmaker—only continues to grow.' Released on Friday, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has opened to positive reviews. Furthermore, Tisca revealed how she felt after watching the drama that deals with a sensitive topic such as neurodivergence. 'Sitaare is all heart! What stayed with me is how gently and powerfully the film establishes the idea that everyone's normal is different. This isn't a sob story-it's an empowering moved me most was how the neurodivergent adults are portrayed (and for once by neurodivergent actors) -not with pity or exaggerated kindness, but with something far more beautiful: normalcy. Everyday, natural, joyous normalcy. Like anyone else. And that's what makes this film truly special,' she penned. An official remake of the 2018 Spanish film 'Champions', 'Sitaare Zameen Par' reached the cinema halls on June 20th this year. Director R.S. Prasanna, has shared the details of one his earliest meetings with the Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan. Aamir essays the lead character in 'Sitaare Zameen Par', and has also bankrolled the film. Prasanna recently spoke with IANS during an interview, and shared that while he was initially nervous ahead of his first meeting with the superstar, his nervousness waned off, once he started speaking with him. Before he could realise, 8 hours had passed since their meeting began, and progressed through breakfast and lunch breaks. Indo-Asian News Service

UAE strengthens global publishing ties in Beijing
Represented by a distinguished selection of established and emerging publishing houses, the Emirates Publishers Association (EPA) is participating in the 2025 edition of the Beijing International Book Fair, shining a spotlight on the UAE's experience in developing its publishing industry, particularly in the fields of children's literature and innovative educational content. This participation in Asia's largest copyrights exchange platform, and the second largest book fair in the world, reflects the EPA's ongoing commitment to empowering Emirati publishers, expanding opportunities for international collaboration, and strengthening the UAE's presence on the global publishing stage. The EPA's stand at the fair serves as a vibrant window into the UAE's dynamic publishing landscape, showcasing a unique blend of seasoned expertise and emerging voices in children's literature and educational publishing. Among the participants are publishers who graduated from the 'Onshur' programme—an initiative launched to empower the next generation of publishing entrepreneurs in the UAE by empowering them with professional and technical support. Featured publishers include Hamda Al Baloushi, Manager of Aalamkom Publishing and Distribution, and Treasurer and Board Member of the EPA, Salim Abdulrahman, Managing Director of AlRewaya Publishing, and Ghassan Rabih, representative of Dar Rabie Publishing. Representing the 'Onshur' graduates are Dr. Asmaa Emara, Founder of Dal for Publishing, a publishing house dedicated to innovative approaches to Arabic language education, and Fatema Al Hammadi, Founder of Sohub Publishing and Distribution, which specialises in educational content for people of determination and students with autism. Running from June 18-22, the Association's programme at the fair features a series of high-level events uniting content creators and publishing professionals from the UAE and China. A key event on the agenda is the 2025 Global Children's Book Forum, centred on the theme 'Integrated Innovation in Children's Books Amid New Realities.' Through this platform, the Association highlighted UAE's pioneering contributions to the global book industry, particularly in advancing children's publishing and fostering a culture of reading among young minds. The event agenda also features a panel discussion titled 'Nurturing Young Minds: Children's Publishing Priorities in the UAE and China,' with participation from publishers, Hamda Al Baloushi and Ghassan Rabih, alongside a group of distinguished Chinese children's publishers. Commenting on the Association's participation, Rashid Al Kous, Executive Director of the EPA, emphasised that the EPA's presence at major international book fairs represents a strategic opportunity for copyrights exchange, expanding professional networks, and exploring new markets for Emirati and Arabic content. He stated, 'This year, we placed special focus on the UAE's experience in children's publishing—a field that conveys universal messages with a distinctly local spirit, led by young publishers who possess clear vision and genuine passion. By empowering them, we are laying the foundation for a new generation that embodies innovation and authenticity.' He further noted, 'Our participation in the Beijing International Book Fair is an extension of the UAE's broader vision to support creative industries—particularly publishing—as a vital tool for knowledge dissemination and cultural dialogue. Each international platform is an opportunity to project our cultural voice globally and to showcase the wealth of creative potential that the UAE holds. The presence of 'Onshur' graduates at an event of this calibre sends a clear message: the youth are a powerful force shaping the future of Emirati publishing.' Publisher Hamda Al Baloushi described her participation as a significant milestone in her professional journey, highlighting the opportunity it provided for engagement and exchange with publishers from around the world. She added that it had opened new avenues for collaboration and copyrights exchange, particularly in the Asian market. WAM
