Aamir Khan’s profession, spanning over 4 many years, includes several notable movies comparable to Taare Zameen Par, Dangal, Lagaan, PK, and Secret Superstar. His latest release, Sitaare Zameen Par, follows the story of a basketball coach assigned community service, who finds meaning in mentoring a team of neurodivergent adults. The film has received appreciation for its emotional depth and relatable themes.
IFFM 2025 will honour Khan’s artistic impact with a specially curated choice of movies that reflect his daring, socially conscious storytelling. A highlight of the retrospective will likely be a screening of Sitaare Zameen Par, followed by a live conversation with Aamir Khan, director RS Prasanna, and Aparna Purohit, CEO of Aamir Khan Movies, offering audiences unique insight into the creative process behind the film.
Festival Director Mitu Bhowmick Lange AM said, “Aamir Khan is just not only a cinematic legend but in addition someone whose work has at all times reflected sensitivity, depth, and a fearless commitment to storytelling. We’re truly honoured to welcome him as our Chief Guest. His presence will undoubtedly elevate the festival experience for audiences and filmmakers alike. He’s an artist who has consistently used cinema as a force for social change, and his journey continues to encourage generations. His work on Sitaare Zameen Par is a phenomenal example of inclusive storytelling — full of empathy, joy, and honesty.”
Aamir Khan said, “I’m humbled and thrilled to be a component of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. It’s a festival that really celebrates the spirit of Indian cinema in all its diversity and richness. I look ahead to engaging with audiences, sharing a few of my most cherished work, and being a part of conversations that commemorate the facility of film. With Sitaare Zameen Par, we’ve tried to inform a story that embraces inclusivity and neurodivergence with sensitivity and heart — and I’m grateful that the film has resonated with so many. I’m excited to share this journey with Melbourne and shine a lightweight on the stories that matter.”
