The source further claimed that Aamir is quite confident about the film and already has an entire promotional strategy ready. As of now, it is claimed that the trailer of the film will be released soon, and there are talks about the trailer being attached to Ajay Devgn and Vaani Kapoor`s Raid 2. “The idea is to leverage Raid 2’s high footfall to maximize visibility for Sitaare Zameen Par,” the source said. “Though knowing Aamir, there’s always room for a last-minute switch if he feels something could work better.”

Earlier, while talking about the similarity of the title with Taare Zameen Par, Aamir said during an interview, “I have not spoken about it publicly and I won’t be able to say much now also. But I can tell the title. The title of the film is Sitare Zameen Par. You must have remembered my film Taare Zameen Par, and the name of this film is Sitare Zameen Par because we are moving 10 steps ahead with the same theme. Taare Zameen Par was an emotional film; this film will make you laugh. That film made you cry, this one will entertain you.”

Aamir Khan further added, “The theme is the same, that’s why we kept this name very thoughtfully. We all have flaws but have something special, so we are taking forward this theme.” In Taare Zameen Par (2007), Aamir’s character, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, helps Darsheel Safary’s Ishaan Awasthy, a dyslexic young boy. However, it would be the opposite in Sitare Zameen Par. He shared, “In Sitaare Zameen Par, those 9 boys, who have their own issues, help me. It’s the opposite.”
