Aamir Khan is concerned about Sitaare Zameen Par's box office performance

When asked about his instincts for Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir said, “When I look at the film today, I think I am quite happy with it. I think what we set out to make, we have made. Will it work at the box office? I have no idea. The fact of the matter is, throughout my career, whenever my film is released, I suddenly become aware. My film is a comedy, but right now only the action is working. When Ghajini came, my film was action, but action wasn’t working then. Nobody wants to see action."

He added, "My film always releases at a time when it’s completely ill-timed. When my comedy film comes out time action films are working. So I am constantly stressed that I don’t know right now everyone wants to see action. The last 12 films have been action and blockbusters. So while I believe that it’s a very heartwarming and beautiful story which will connect very deeply with people, that’s what I am hoping. But right now, everyone wants to see action films."

He further added that the film will only be released in theatres and not on any other OTT platform. He dismissed reports of the film releasing on YouTube.
