There was also appreciation for the film’s music, with fans noting that the score is composed by the celebrated trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, who also worked on the original film.
Directed by R. S. Prasanna—known for his work on Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and the biographical drama On A Quest—Sitaare Zameen Par also stars Genelia Deshmukh opposite Khan. The film is produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions in collaboration with Aparna Purohit. The screenplay is written by Divy Nidhi Sharma, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
The film’s trailer was recently screened for the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which granted it a UA certificate. Actor and model Kuldeep Gadhvi, who attended the screening, shared his thoughts on social media, calling the trailer “amazing” and highlighting Aamir Khan’s character, Gulshan, as a stark contrast to Nikumbh. He remarked that the trailer emphasizes comedy over emotion but praised Khan's performance. He also noted Genelia Deshmukh’s strong screen presence and mentioned that Darsheel Safary, who played the lead child role in Taare Zameen Par, appears in the film.
