Aamir Khan's 'Sitaare Zameen Par' To Stream on Sony LIV Nearly a Year After Pay-Per-View Model

Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par is going to have a broader release. The superstar's 2025 comedy drama will have its OTT debut on Sony LIV, nearly nine months after Khan released the film theatrically and opted for a direct pay-per-view (PPV) model on his YouTube channel, bypassing traditional streaming.

Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par opened in cinemas on June 20, 2025 and then skipped the OTT release to premiere directly on YouTube from August 1 at a price point of ₹100 in India.

Khan's idea was to disrupt the traditional theatrical-to-OTT window distribution model, where viewers access a film for free after the eight-week timeframe. The actor, instead, released the film as a TVOD (Transactional Video on Demand), where viewers could rent the film for ₹100 for 48 hours.

Sony LIV, in a statement, said, "Nearly a year after its theatrical release in June 2025, Aamir Khan’s feel-good sports comedy-drama is set to stream on Sony LIV, bringing its uplifting and inspiring story to audiences at home."

The streamer also stated that the film's release marks a special milestone for Sony LIV, as Sitaare Zameen Par becomes the "platform’s first Hindi theatrical film to premiere on the service." Produced by Khan and Aparna Purohit, under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, with B. Shrinivas Rao and Ravi Bhagchandka serving as producers, Sitaare Zameen Par was a remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions.

Written by Divy Nidhi Sharma and also starring Genelia Deshmukh, the film features Khan as a suspended basketball coach who must serve community service by helping a team of neurodivergent players prepare for a tournament. Sitaare Zameen Par also starred Ashish Pendse, Aroush Datta, Aayush Bhansali, Rishi Shahani, Gopikrishnan K Varma, Rishabh Jain, Vedant Sharma, Simran Mangeshkar, Samvit Desai and Naman Misra.

Khan, meanwhile, is yet to announce his next film as an actor.
