Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is making a grand return to the silver screen with *Sitaare Zameen Par*, set to release on June 20, 2025. Fans are thrilled to see him back after a long hiatus, and the excitement doubles as Genelia D’Souza marks her Hindi cinema comeback after years away. However, the age gap between Aamir (60) and Genelia (37), who play an on-screen married couple, is stealing the spotlight.
This isn’t the first time Bollywood has faced age-gap chatter. Recently, Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna’s pairing in *Sikandar* drew similar attention. What makes this case intriguing is Genelia’s history—she once starred opposite Aamir’s nephew, Imran Khan, in *Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na* (2008). Now, 17 years later, she’s sharing screen space with Aamir himself!
Addressing the topic, Aamir joked about the irony but clarified that their characters are in their early 40s, and Genelia isn’t far off from that age. He also credited modern VFX for blurring age barriers, contrasting it with the heavy prosthetics actors like Anil Kapoor relied on in the past. *Sitaare Zameen Par*, a sports drama remaking Spanish film *Champions*, sees Aamir as a coach for kids with special needs, with *Taare Zameen Par*’s Darsheel Safary making a special appearance.
