In the history of the Indian box office, it has often been noticed that many times an underdog shines beautifully, while a highly anticipated film bites the dust. This world of commercial success is very volatile, and it isn’t easy to predict which movie will work or tank at the box office. Even when Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, while promoting his upcoming next ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ confessed to having no idea about the box office success of the movie.
Aamir Khan on ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ box office
In his conversation with Galatta Plus, Aamir expressed that though he is bringing a very beautiful story that will touch hearts, he isn’t sure about the commercial success of the movie. Coming from the genre of comedy with his emotional quotient, the film will leave a lasting impression on those who will watch it, but Aamir Khan is worried that currently only action films are working, so where will his movie stand? “When I look at the film today, I think I am quite happy with it. I think what we set out to make, we have made. Will it work at the box office? I have no idea. The fact of the matter is, throughout my career, whenever my film is released, I suddenly become aware. My film is a comedy, but right now only the action is working. When Ghajini came, my film was action, but action wasn’t working then. Nobody wanted to see action,” he said.He continued, “My film always releases at a time when it’s completely ill-timed. When my comedy film comes out time action films are working. So I am constantly stressed that I don’t know right now everyone wants to see action. The last 12 films have been action and blockbusters. So while I believe that it’s a very heartwarming and beautiful story which will connect very deeply with people, that’s what I am hoping.”Aamir, in the conversation, also confirmed that ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ will only be released in theatres, and he has no plans as of now to make it available on OTT.
