Aamir Khan Opts For Strategic Release of 'Sitaare Zameen Par'

Mumbai, June 11 - Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is opting for a strategic release of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, which debuts on the big screen on June 20. The film is the spiritual successor to Khan's 2007 film Taare Zameen Par. ## Sitaare Zameen Par has been in the news for all the right reasons. It has already been confirmed that the movie won't be released on any OTT platform after its theatrical release, a decision which is being enjoyed by exhibitors. ## According to the report by Pinkvilla, Aamir, along with his national distributing partner, PVR-Inox, has decided to give a platform release to Sitaare Zameen Par, which is basically to increase the shows on a real-time basis throughout the day. It is a one of its kind strategy to release the film. ## It is said that Aamir Khan is super confident of the film, but he is also well aware of the change in audience dynamics post the Covid-19 pandemic. Keeping this in mind, the makers have reportedly decided to release the film on around 1200 screens nationwide on the opening day. ## The idea is to add more screens based on audience word of mouth. "The release will be more concentrated towards the high-performing cinema halls in the respective areas, before slowly transitioning to the mass belts on demand", says the report. ## The good thing is that no one knows when the film will be available on home media since Aamir has decided not to release it on OTT, and this gives the makers enough time to implement their release strategy. It will also have the same kind of release in international markets, but the details are not known yet. ## Sitaare Zameen Par is directed by R. S. Prasanna and produced by Aamir Khan Productions. The movie is scheduled to hit the big screen on June 20. ## Stay tuned...

Aamir Khan To Take A Bold Stand For The Future of Theatrical Medium

Mumbai, September 6 - Post the Covid-19 pandemic, the theatrical has been one of the badly affected mediums of entertainment. While the business has returned to normalcy for the large-scale entertainers, it is still not the same for the mid to low-budget films as it was before the pandemic. ## The mid-budget films have been a driving force in generating revenue for the industry over the years and one of the major reasons for the non-superstar films not performing as frequently as they used to be at the box office is the negligence of the filmmakers towards theatrical medium in announcing the digital rights of their movies even before the big screen release. ## The side effect of having a premature OTT deal can already be seen in the decrease in footfalls in theatres, especially for mid to low-budget films, as paying audiences are ready to wait to watch the film for free rather than going to theatres since they exactly know when the film is coming to digital platforms. ## This overall ongoing trend needs a drastic change in the mindset of the filmmakers for the future of the theatrical medium which must be protected for the industry's own benefit. While there's a long way to go, the change seems to be happening and it's coming from none other than superstar and filmmaker Aamir Khan.## According to the report by Pinkvilla, Aamir Khan has been discussing a game-changing idea of not selling the digital rights of his films before theatrical release with all the stakeholders. It is said that "the actor's vision is to revive the social comedy genre by keeping it exclusive for the big screen for at least 12 weeks". ## One of the alarming chatters ongoing within the Bollywood film industry is that OTT platforms are dictating terms and forcing filmmakers to release their movies on pre-decided XYZ dates even if it is not suitable for the film's business. The digital platforms are also deciding the film's prices by keeping the box-office clause in the contract.## "Aamir is willing to sell and value his film based on the audience reception to the content on theatrical release. With no logo of digital players on posters and trailers, Aamir aims to keep his communication clear – experience his content only on the big screen. His idea is to go back to the good old days when viewers didn’t have any idea about the satellite premieres", the report adds.## Meanwhile, Aamir Khan has several films in the pipeline under his production house, Aamir Khan Productions. The superstar will be returning to the big screen with Sitare Zameen Par in which he plays the lead role. The movie is announced for Christmas release but as per reports, it will be delayed to next year.## Stay tuned...
