The movie expected to release next year on the Christmas weekend with Aamir Khan in the lead role, Sitaare Zameen Par, can also get postponed, which will make the Christmas 2024 weekend less threatening. The film was planned to be released on December 20, 2024, but, most likely, the film will not be ready for post-production by that date, and the release of the film may be delayed by at least three months. This move would leave Hollywood’s Mufasa: The Lion King as the only wide release coming on December 20, 2024.
Production Delays: The Search for the Perfect Process
Written & directed by R. S. Prasanna of ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’ fame, SZP is a sports comedy that has stirred quite a pre-release hullabaloo. But as always, the postproduction for the movie takes time to achieve the standards of good work that Aamir Khan follows.
An inside source shared, “Aamir khan is pleased with the making and nervous to release it but has some post-production time to go for what Aamir wishes to obtain from it. Under no circumstances will Aamir Khan compromise on time for perfection, hence delaying the release.”
This is not the first Bollywood film to pull out of the race for the Christmas 2024 slot. Before that, Akshay Kumar’s Welcome to the Jungle was also delayed on production grounds. Considering Sitaare Zameen Par has been postponed to the following week. The Christmas weekend is free for other films, and what we have heard is that Jio Studios has set its sights on Varun Dhawan’s Baby John, ready for release on December 25, 2024.
A Great Narrative with Accuracy for Minority Representation
Sitaare Zameen Par is the Indian television show that is the official adaptation of the Spanish drama ‘Campeones’. It depicts the story of a narcissistic and selfish basketball coach, Aamir Khan, who is sentenced to do community service and is expected to formally form a Special Olympics basketball team out of a group of intellectually disabled individuals. The overall structure of the story focuses on the idea of change, and Aamir grows as a character, as well as his perception of what is considered normal.
What’s Next?
This is a big blow for fans as they await Sitaare Zameen Par, which is said to be worth waiting for due to Aamir’s stature of producing high-quality movies. This is because the official statement on the matter is yet to be released to the public, and more information may be released in the later months. For now, it seems that Christmas 2024 will not be an ideal time for Bollywood biggies, but Hollywood stars will dominate.
