According to reports, Aamir Khan will skip the OTT release for Sitaare Zameen Par and will choose the ‘pay-per-view’ method. In the pay-per-view method, the viewers will need to pay specifically for the particular film they want to see. They wouldn’t need to access any OTT platform to get access to the movie of their choice. This method is similar to theatres as the individual will be paying for the movie they want to see. It also gives more benefits to the producers.
According to The Hollywood Reporter India, Aamir Khan wants to use this method for Sitaare Zameen Par. A source told the publication, “Aamir doesn’t want to release his films directly on streaming after their theatrical run, as it discourages viewers from watching movies on the big screen. It is also a reason why there is no streaming logo on the poster of Sitaare Zameen Par.”
The latest reports claim that Aamir Khan rejected a Rs 120 crore offer by Amazon Prime Video to release the movie on OTT.
The movie is the official remake of the 2018 Spanish film ‘Champions’. The plot follows a suspended basketball coach, who has to serve community service by helping a team of players with disabilities prepare for a basketball tournament.
