Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par is set to release in theatres on June 20. The actor, however, in a recent interview expressed his doubts over the film’s box office prospects since “everyone wants to see action films”.

In a conversation with Galatta Plus, Aamir stated that he has confidence in the film, but he can’t make out the box office. “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 action is working. When Ghajini came, it was an action film, but action wasn’t working then. Nobody wanted to see action.”

The actor added, “My film always releases at a time when it’s completely ill-timed. When my comedy film comes out, 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”.

Sitaare Zameen Par has been directed by RS Prasanna and will introduce ten debutants – Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. The film will star Aamir along with Genelia Deshmukh in the lead roles.
