Aamir Khan has sparked a conversation around cinema affordability with the YouTube release of his much-anticipated film Sitaare Zameen Par. Recently, the actor-producer expressed concern over the rising cost of moviegoing and shared his vision to make films more accessible to the masses through his official YouTube channel.
Comparing modern multiplexes to luxury hotels, Aamir said, “Multiplexes started in 2005-06. The investment in them was very high, so the prices of tickets and eatables also increased. Just like when you go to a five-star hotel, the same things that you’d get elsewhere for a much lower price cost a lot more there because it offers many more facilities and a five-star environment.” He added, “Similarly, multiplexes have now become quite elite. Unless you have a certain level of economic earnings, you simply can’t afford to go there.”
Made under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Sitaare Zameen Par stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh in lead roles, along with 10 rising stars. The lyrics are penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya and music is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The screenplay is written By Divy Nidhi Sharma. The film is produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, with Ravi Bhagchandka as the producer.
Directed by R. S. Prasanna, the film hit theatres on June 20 and received largely positive reviews.
