Aamir Khan Sitaare Zameen Par YouTube release confirmed
Aamir Khan has confirmed that his recent hit film Sitaare Zameen Par will not release on any OTT platform. Instead, he announced the Aamir Khan Sitaare Zameen Par YouTube release on a Pay-Per-View basis starting August 1 on his official YouTube channel, Aamir Khan Talkies.
At a media event in Mumbai on July 29, Aamir Khan surprised everyone with his bold statement. He revealed that he turned down a huge ₹125 crore OTT deal and chose to make the film available for ₹100 directly to the audience.
He explained, “I don’t want ₹125 crore from OTT platforms. I want ₹100 from the audience of this country.” With this line, Aamir made it clear he trusts his viewers more than big streaming platforms.
Why Aamir Khan chose YouTube
Talking about his decision, Aamir said YouTube has the widest reach across India, including remote areas. With UPI payments now easier than ever, even small towns can easily pay online.
Behind him, the poster of Sitaare Zameen Par appeared on the screen, showing the release date — August 1 — and the ₹100 price point for the Pay-Per-View model. Aamir believes this new format gives every viewer easy access to the film while also supporting the industry.
He rejected the OTT deal for a reason
According to Bollywood Hungama, Netflix had offered Aamir Khan ₹125 crore to stream the movie. But Aamir rejected the deal. He said such short-term gains would damage the film business.
“Such deals benefit only me. But in the long run, cinema suffers. That’s not right,” Aamir said.
By trusting the audience and skipping OTT platforms, the Aamir Khan Sitaare Zameen Par YouTube release marks a new shift in Bollywood’s digital journey.
