Talking about the festival, Aamir says, “I’m humbled and thrilled to be a part of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. I look forward to engaging with audiences, sharing some of my most cherished work, and being part of conversations that celebrate the power of films. With Sitaare Zameen Par, we’ve tried to tell a story that embraces inclusivity and neurodivergence with sensitivity and heart — and I’m grateful that the film has resonated with so many. I’m excited to share this journey with Melbourne and shine a light on the stories that matter.”
Festival Director Mitu Bhowmick Lange is “honoured” to have Aamir at the event.
