Aamir Khan is getting ready for Sitaare Zameen Par, his upcoming film. The actor took a break following Lal Singh Chaddha‘s failure on the box office. The shooting of Sitare Zameen Par is reportedly set to start in Delhi the next month, in May.

Aamir Khan will be traveling to the national capital to shoot his upcoming film, according per a report. Aamir Khan will fly down to Delhi next month for Sitare Zameen Par‘s shoot, a source was quoted as saying. For the shooting of his film, he will travel to the capital with about 11 child actors. Other notable cast members will also be there; their specifics are still pending.

The schedule is set for one month, between May and June, the same source continued. For the shoot, the children will take part in a variety of Paralympic Games. Several locations in Delhi, such as Lal Qila, Purani Dilli, Lodhi Garden, and Thayagraj stadium, will be used for filming. They are filming it in several parts of Delhi since they don’t want all the youngsters to go to the NCR.

This film will make you laugh, it will entertain you, Aamir Khan said when he unveiled Sitare Zameen Par at an event following the box office failure of Laal Singh Chaddha. However, the topic remains the same (as Taare Zameen Par), which is why they have carefully considered their options for a similar name. They are carrying on this theme since although they all have shortcomings and flaws, they also all have something unique to offer. Those nine boys, who have their own problems, assisted him in Sitare Zameen Par, he added.

Darsheel Safary portrayed the dyslexic character Ishaan Awasthi in the film Taare Zameen Par, while Aamir Khan played the role of art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh, in the film.
