The trailer for Aamir Khan’s much-anticipated film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ dropped last night, stirring both excitement and controversy. Marketed as a spiritual successor to his acclaimed 2007 film ‘Taare Zameen Par’, this new project is inspired by the 2018 Spanish film ‘Champions’ and features Genelia Deshmukh alongside Khan. While the film’s emotional and uplifting tone struck a chord with many, it also triggered backlash on social media.
Aamir’s ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ in trouble?
Shortly after the trailer release, the hashtag #BoycottSitaareZameenPar began trending on X. Several users referenced Khan’s 2020 visit to Turkey, where he met the country’s President and First Lady. This meeting sparked criticism due to Turkey’s political alignment and support for Pakistan, especially amid ongoing India-Pakistan tensions. As a result, some users are calling for a boycott of the film, accusing Khan of being insensitive to national sentiment.

We are appreciating #BycottTurkey #BycottAzarbaijan now it’s time for#BoycottSitaareZameenPar #SitaareZameenPar because Bollywood has no time for India and can’t hurt their Pakistani fans. No sympathy for these B@st@rds. No support to actor/ actress or any movies. pic.twitter.com/qVIO7QP1lF
