Aamir Delays ‘Sitaare…’ Trailer Launch over J&K Attack: Report
The trailer launch of Aamir Khan’s upcoming film, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, has been postponed indefinitely, according to a report by Hindustan Times. The decision to delay the launch was taken in the wake of the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
The trailer was scheduled to be launched this week, but Aamir Khan and his team decided to put it on hold, citing that it would be inappropriate to proceed with the launch at this time. The exact date for the new trailer launch has not been announced yet.
The terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which took place on August 9, claimed the lives of three policemen and left several others injured. The incident has sent shockwaves across the country, and the Indian government has condemned the attack.
Aamir Khan, known for his socially conscious films, has always been vocal about issues affecting the nation. His decision to delay the trailer launch is seen as a gesture of respect and solidarity with the victims and their families.
‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is a biographical drama film that tells the story of Chandra Kumar Bose, a freedom fighter who was involved in the Indian independence movement. The film is directed by Meghna Gulzar and stars Aamir Khan in the lead role.
Aamir Khan has been working on this project for several years and has been putting in a lot of effort to get the film right. The delay in the trailer launch may have an impact on the film’s marketing strategy, but it is clear that Aamir and his team are prioritizing the sentiments of the nation over their own promotional plans.
The film’s producer, Ronnie Screwvala, has also expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and has reaffirmed his team’s commitment to respecting the sentiments of the nation.
In a statement, Screwvala said, “We are deeply saddened by the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and the people of Jammu and Kashmir. We will not be proceeding with the trailer launch at this time and will revisit our plans in the coming days.”
Aamir Khan’s decision to delay the trailer launch is a testament to his commitment to using his platform for good. He has always been an advocate for social causes and has used his films to raise awareness about important issues affecting the nation.
In recent years, Aamir Khan has been involved in several social campaigns, including the ‘Satyamev Jayate’ movement, which aimed to bring attention to social issues such as gender equality, child marriage, and female feticide.
Aamir Khan’s fans are eagerly waiting for the trailer launch of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, and the delay may have left them disappointed. However, the decision to postpone the launch is seen as a responsible and respectful gesture, especially in the wake of the recent terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir.
As the nation comes together to mourn the loss of lives and to condemn the attack, Aamir Khan’s decision to delay the trailer launch is a small but significant step towards showing solidarity with the victims and their families.
