Salman was in a good mood and playfully teased Aamir as they posed for photographers at the premiere. Speaking to the photographers at the red carpet, Salman, with a straight face and a cheeky smile, said, 'Isne story nahi bataayi na picture ki? Isne mere ko bulaya tha ye subject dekhne ke liye… main chala gaya mujhe bahut achi lagi picture… maine haan bhi keh di… mere ko phone aata hai ki, 'main kar raha hu picture (He didn't tell you the story behind the film? He had invited me to see this subject... I went and I really loved the film... I even said yes... then I get a call saying 'I'm making the film).' He jokingly added, 'Maine itni tareef kari thi picture ki ki Aamir bola, 'main phaad dunga iss picture mein'... it's outstanding (I praised the film so much that Aamir decided to do the film)'. A post shared by Instant Bollywood (@instantbollywood) Taking a fun jab at Aamir's personal life, Salman added, 'Isne bhi bola mere ko bhi ye picture bahut achi lagi par uss waqt ye kaam nahi kar raha tha, uss waqt thoda sa load tha… scripting… paperwork pe kaam chal raha tha iska uss waqt (He also said that he liked the film a lot too, but at that time, he wasn't working on it, there was a bit of a load on him... the scripting and paperwork were in progress at that time)." Salman appeared to be referencing the paperwork during Aamir's divorce from Kiran Rao. The comment made everyone chuckle. Salman further recalled, 'Toh maine bola bahut achi picture hai mere ko karna hai toh mujhe iska phone aata hai ki… Also, isne mujhe bola tha ki main pehle kar chuka hu (So I said it's a great film, and if I want to do it, I get a call saying... he told me that he has already done it before)'. Aamir was being a sport, and jumped in with a laugh, saying, 'Aisa ho sakta ki wo haan bole aur main beech mein aaun? (Can it happen that he agrees and I end up being part of it?)" The banter and camaraderie between the two stars completely stole the show. At the premiere, Salman opted for an all-black look. Aamir's comedy-drama Sitaare Zameen Par is a spiritual sequel to Aamir's 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par. The film is directed by RS Prasanna, who is best known for directing Shubh Mangal Saavdhan.

Sitaare Zameen Par director RS Prasanna Interview: I would love to see more feel-good films
Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par marks the second Hindi film of RS Prasanna. He had earlier directed the Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017), which was a remake of his own 2013 quirky Tamil film, Kalyana Samayal Saadham. For Prasanna, working with Aamir for the film was like a dream. He recalls being moved by Aamir's films, be it Lagaan (2001) or Taare Zameen Par (2007). 'For me, cinema has always been from the point of view of the audience. I literally look up to cinema because I am the audience who sits in the front row. So, I never thought that one day I would get to direct Aamir sir after having seen all his films as an audience,' says the filmmaker. Prasanna admits that it was difficult for him to remain objective during the film's shoot as he was so starstruck with Aamir. He met the superstar for the first time at his Mumbai home and was surprised with his humility. 'We were having food together sitting on the floor. Within fifteen minutes, I felt like, is it really Amir sir? He made me quite comfortable and was open to let me say anything to him,' he says. It was also during these discussions about Sitaare Zameen Par, which is a remake of the 2018 Spanish film, Champions, that Prasanna would keep referencing Taare Zameen Par. 'I would keep torturing him with questions about Taare Zameen Par as to how certain scenes were filmed and how did the songs come in,' he says, adding that it was during the pre-production process that Aamir thought of aligning it with the 2007 film. 'One day, he said that Sitaare Zameen Par also belongs in the same emotional landscape. ' So why don't we make it sound similar to that? The audience also will know, what are they in for'. That's how it happened,' recalls Prasanna.

Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par opens with decent advance booking of nearly Rs 4 crore
After a long gap since Laal Singh Chaddha, returns to the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par, a film that promises to touch hearts and tug at emotions. Directed by R.S. Prasanna — best known for helming the 2017 sleeper hit Shubh Mangal Saavdhan — this heartwarming drama also marks the return of Genelia D'Souza to mainstream Hindi cinema. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now And as the film gears up for release, the first day advance booking figures have trickled in, offering a glimpse of the audience's early response. As per Sacnilk the film has received booking worth Rs 1.09 crore till 11 AM and if one adds block bookings the collection jumps to Rs 3.7 crore, selling a respectable 42,021 tickets across 6,834 shows nationwide. Not surprisingly, the Hindi version leads the tally, raking in nearly Rs 99.4 lakh from 32,781 tickets across 6,470 shows. The film's average ticket pricing (ATP) in the Hindi belt stands at Rs 243, indicating a slightly premium ticketing strategy — possibly targeting urban family audiences. Interestingly, the film has also found takers in the southern markets. In the Telugu-speaking regions, it managed to sell over 8,200 tickets for Rs 8.14 lakh, while its Tamil version clocked Rs 1.27 lakh through 1,007 tickets. While modest, these numbers reflect Aamir Khan's lingering pan-India appeal. For Aamir Khan, Sitaare Zameen Par isn't just another film — it's a critical test of his box office credibility after the underwhelming performance of Laal Singh Chaddha. While advance booking numbers may not be record-shattering by Aamir's own past standards, they suggest cautious optimism, with decent family and emotional drama audiences likely to turn up for weekend shows. Moreover, the emotional connect of the film's subject — centred around acceptance, love, and familial bonds — combined with R.S. Prasanna's sensitive direction and Genelia's long-awaited comeback, could give Sitaare Zameen Par the walk-in boost it needs to find its word-of-mouth set to play a decisive role, all eyes will be on its weekend trajectory. Sitaare Zameen Par is clashing with 's Kuberaa which also stars Nagrjuna and .
