Ahead of the release of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, Bollywood star Aamir Khan shared his support for remakes. Sitaare Zameen Par has been receiving a lot of backlash online since its trailer dropped for being a remake of the Spanish film Campeones.
Aamir Khan plays a disgraced basketball coach who is ordered to train a team of people on the spectrum by the court after he is arrested for drunk driving.
“It is new work for me” says Aamir
Speaking on the topic of remakes, the actor, whose last film was Laal Singh Chaddha, a remake of the Oscar-winning film Forrest Gump, said:
"After Laal Singh Chaddha, a lot of people told me, 'You are making a remake again'. Laal Singh was trolled heavily for being a remake. But I am a different kind of person. I don't understand practical things. I don't have any problem with a remake, and I don't feel my creativity is diminishing at all. For me, it is new work. Someone else made this story, and I am giving it my perspective."
Sitaare Zameen Par gears up for release
