Aamir Khan shares updates on upcoming projects, including sequel to Taare Zameen Par, shot in Vadodara, Gujarat.

Actor Aamir Khan, who attended the Republic Day 2025 celebrations at the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, took a moment to share updates about his upcoming projects, including the highly anticipated sequel to Taare Zameen Par, titled Sitaare Zameen Par.

While speaking to the media about his surreal experience at the 2025 Republic Day celebrations, Aamir was asked if any of his upcoming projects would be filmed in the state. Khan revealed that the climax of Sitaare Zameen Par was shot in Vadodara, Gujarat.

He said, “The sequel to Taare Zameen Par is Sitaare Zameen Par, and the climax of that movie was shot in Vadodara.”

After 16 years, Khan has reunited with actor Darsheel Safary, who portrayed the young Ishaan in Taare Zameen Par. Reflecting on his long connection with the state, Khan also shared how Gujarat has changed over the years.

“When I was young, many of my father’s films were shot in Gujarat. I was very small at that time, so I would come here. Today, all those memories have come rushing back,” he said.

Khan also mentioned how much the city of Vadodara had transformed over the years. “There have been a lot of changes in Vadodara. There are many luxurious buildings now, and the roads have improved significantly. When I first came here, I was probably around 12 years old. A lot of changes have taken place in this area since then,” he noted.

While discussing Gujarat’s rich filmmaking history, Khan expressed his enthusiasm for future film projects in the region. “Gujarat has been closely associated with filmmaking for a long time. It is a very vibrant place, with a strong connection to cinema, culture, and art. From the film industry’s side, we would definitely love to come here and shoot,” he said.
