Aamir Khan is once again in the news, but this time not for his acting or films. His upcoming movie, Sitaare Zameen Par, has created a lot of controversy on social media. The reason for this controversy is mainly about the way the movie will be released after theaters.
Aamir Khan’s Film Sparks OTT Controversy
Usually, big movies come to popular OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or Disney+ Hotstar after their theatrical release. Fans who do not want to go to the cinema can watch these films at home through these streaming services. But Aamir Khan and his team have decided something different for Sitaare Zameen Par. Instead of releasing it on these well-known OTT platforms, they have chosen YouTube pay-per-view. This means people will have to pay to watch the movie on YouTube after it leaves theaters.

This decision has not been received well by many people. Many fans and critics feel that skipping big OTT platforms is a wrong move. They say that this will reduce the number of viewers because not everyone is ready to pay again to watch a movie on YouTube. Many think that releasing the film on popular streaming services would bring more viewers and money in the long run.
Some people also think that this move is a way for the makers to control the price and keep more control over the movie’s release. But many viewers feel this may hurt the movie’s success because most people prefer watching movies on popular OTT platforms. Social media is full of comments criticizing this decision, calling it one of the “dumbest moves” they have seen.
Besides the release issue, some people have also raised concerns about the film’s story. Many say that the movie looks very similar to a Hollywood film called Champions, which itself is a remake of a Spanish film Campeones. This has created more debate and discussion.
