Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, often referred to as "Mr. Perfectionist", is once again at the center of controversy. His upcoming film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, reportedly a spiritual sequel to his 2007 hit ‘Taare Zameen Par’, has triggered a wave of online outrage, with the hashtag #BoycottAamirKhan trending on social media platforms.
The backlash stems from a combination of past controversies and speculation about the film's theme, which some groups have prematurely deemed “insensitive.” Critics online have resurfaced Aamir’s older political remarks and alleged “anti-national” stance, reigniting cultural debates surrounding Bollywood and nationalism.

Despite the negativity, Aamir Khan Productions has yet to release any official statement addressing the boycott. Industry insiders suggest the film promotes inclusivity and inspiration—focusing on children with special needs in a heartwarming narrative, much like its predecessor. Supporters of Khan argue the backlash is unwarranted and driven by misinformation.
The film is slated for release later this year, and with Aamir’s reputation for delivering thought-provoking cinema, many are still hopeful it will rise above the noise and connect with audiences emotionally and meaningfully.
