Trolls are common but it seems like Aamir Khan has got a disliking for them already. Recently, the actor has responded strongly to criticism over Sitaare Zameen Par being a remake of the 2018 Spanish film Campeones.
The actor defended his decision at a press meet on June 4 and even called the backlash “bakwaas baatein.”

Citing his own history with remakes like Ghajini, Aamir argued, “Since the 70s, remakes have worked more than the original. Main yeh daava kar ke keh sakta hoon… I believe in remakes, and I’ll do it throughout my life.”
He further challenged the notion that remakes are easy or inferior. Aamir said, “If cut and paste is so easy, toh fir aap kar lo.”

Aamir questioned the audience’s accessibility to foreign films, especially Spanish-language cinema.
“How many of you will watch the Spanish original? Ek aadh dekhi hogi.” He added, “I am adapting a good story in the Indian context… as per the taste you prefer.”

Sitaare Zameen Par is a sports comedy drama featuring Aamir Khan and Genelia D’souza in the lead roles. Since the beginning, people have compared it to the prequel, Taare Zameen Par, stating that both films are wide apart.
Another film of Kajol, Maa, also released on the same date as the film, leading many to speculate that the former will perform better given that it’s a horror thriller.
Now that both films are released, it’s yet to be seen which one performs the best.
