Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par to shed light on Down Syndrome? Details inside

Aamir Khan has been shooting for his upcoming movie, Sitaare Zameen Par, for a while now. The Bollywood actor recently shared that the team is trying to make an effort to release the film around Christmas this year. In several media interactions, Aamir stated that Sitaare Zameen Par is going to be an entertaining film. Now, it has been learned that the movie will shed light on Down Syndrome.

Sitaare Zameen Par to be centred around Down Syndrome?

According to a Hindustan Times report, Aamir Khan wanted to bring focus on another health condition that gets stigmatised in society through his film Sitaare Zameen Par. "That’s when he found a heartfelt story that sheds light on Down Syndrome and what people dealing with that go through," a source told the publication.

For the uninitiated, Aamir's 2007 film Taare Zameen Par highlighted on the struggle of a child suffering from dyslexia. As far as Sitaare Zameen Par's subject of Down Syndrome is concerned, the actor wants to sensitively handle it. He wants the movie to create an impact that makes people suffering from Down Syndrome be treated as equals.
