On the work front, Aamir Khan is busy with Sitaare Zameen Par's shoot. The actor who took a break from acting after the release of Laal Singh Chadha is back at what he does the best. Talking about the film, Aamir had earlier said, "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."

He added, "We all have flaws, we all have weaknesses, but we all also have something special, so we are taking forward this theme but this time the character of the special child Ishaan in that film, my character helps that character in Taare Zameen Par, in Sitaare Zameen Par, those 9 boys, who have their own issues they help me. It's the opposite."
