Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao’s new production, Rubaru Roshni, will release on Republic Day (January 26, 2019) on Star Plus and Hotstar. The film is directed by Svati Chakravarthy Bhatkal and presented by Aamir Khan Films. 

“Greetings! What are you guys doing on Republic Day? I mean, after hoisting the National Flag? Because I have a plan for you. I wish to present a special offering (this film) before you. No, it's not a new episode of Satyamev Jayate, but it will touch your heart nonetheless. So let's meet at 11am on January 26,” Aamir said in an announcement video. 

The title of Rubaru Roshni borrows from the lyrics of a song in the National Award-winning Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra directorial, Rang De Basanti, which also released on Republic Day in 2005. Hosted by Aamir Khan, Satyamev Jayate was a social-issues talk show that ran for three seasons between 2012 and 2015. Speculation surrounding the show’s revival had surfaced some time back. 

Aamir Khan was last seen in Vijay Krishna Acharya’s Thugs of Hindostan. The film also starred Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh
