Aamir Khan’s upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par is already making waves even before its release. This much-awaited sports dramedy is scheduled to hit theatres on June 20, 2025, and fans are excited to see what records it might break at the box office. But before the film reaches cinemas, there’s a surprising update that has caught everyone’s attention – a massive OTT deal that Aamir Khan reportedly rejected!
Aamir Khan Turned Down ₹125 Crore OTT Offer?
According to several media reports, Aamir Khan was offered a huge ₹125 crore deal for the OTT streaming rights of Sitaare Zameen Par. While the name of the OTT platform hasn’t been confirmed, it is said to be one of the major streaming giants in India.
Surprisingly, Aamir Khan refused the offer and chose not to sell the streaming rights for such a large amount. Instead, there are rumors that he might release the film on a pay-per-view model, possibly through platforms like YouTube, where viewers would pay individually to watch the film online.
This decision, if true, could change how big-budget Bollywood films release online in the future.
Sitaare Zameen Par Could Have Been One of Bollywood’s Top OTT Deals!
If Aamir had accepted the ₹125 crore offer, Sitaare Zameen Par would have become Bollywood’s third biggest OTT deal of all time. Only Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki (₹155 crore) and upcoming films like Love and War and Singham Again (₹130 crore each) have received higher offers.
By turning down this massive offer, Aamir Khan’s film missed the chance to be part of the top 3 OTT deals in Bollywood history.
Offered More Than Jawan and Animal!
What’s even more interesting is that Sitaare Zameen Par was reportedly offered 4.1% more than what Jawan (starring Shah Rukh Khan) and Animal (starring Ranbir Kapoor) were sold for. Both of these films were bought by Netflix for ₹120 crore each.
Had Aamir taken the deal, he would’ve topped these mega releases, at least in terms of OTT value!
A Missed Record for Aamir Khan?
Here’s a quick look at Bollywood’s biggest OTT deals so far:
- Dunki – ₹155 crore
- Love and War – ₹130 crore
Singham Again – ₹130 crore - Jawan – ₹120 crore
Animal – ₹120 crore - Pathaan – ₹100 crore
- Sikandar – ₹85 crore
If the ₹125 crore offer is true, Sitaare Zameen Par would have easily secured the 3rd spot, ahead of Jawan and Animal. Unfortunately, the film now misses this record by a small margin.
Final Thoughts
Aamir Khan has always made bold decisions with his films, whether it’s about storytelling or business strategies. His choice to reportedly skip a ₹125 crore OTT deal might seem risky, but if Sitaare Zameen Par becomes a blockbuster, it could set a new trend in how films are released online.
With the film arriving in theatres on June 20, 2025, fans are waiting eagerly to see what magic Aamir Khan brings this time. Whether it breaks OTT records or box office ones, Sitaare Zameen Par is definitely one of the most talked-about films of the year.
