Over the course of the festival, Aamir Khan will headline several marquee events, including the ceremonial lighting of the lamp to officially inaugurate the festival and hoisting the Indian National Flag at the iconic Federation Square — a gesture symbolizing the deep connection between Indian cinema and its international audience. Fans will also get a rare opportunity to interact with the superstar in an intimate conversation where he will share insights about his journey in the film industry, his creative process, and the evolution of Indian cinema over the years.
A major highlight of the festival will be a special screening of Khan’s recently released Sitaare Zameen Par. While the film hit theatres a couple of months ago, the sports comedy-drama is directed by R. S. Prasanna and produced by Aamir Khan along with Aparna Purohit. The film is a spiritual successor to Khan’s 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par and stars him alongside Genelia Deshmukh. Sitaare Zameen Par is an official remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions and follows the story of a suspended basketball coach tasked with completing community service by mentoring a team of players with disabilities, preparing them for an upcoming tournament. The film, currently available on a pay-per-view basis on YouTube, earned love from fans for its heartwarming narrative and Khan’s trademark dedication to socially conscious storytelling.
The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne has, over the years, become a premier platform to showcase the diversity and creativity of Indian cinema to an international audience. With Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt gracing the event, this edition is expected to draw record crowds and media attention, offering film lovers an unparalleled experience of Bollywood’s magic.
Khan’s participation not only underscores his enduring global appeal but also highlights the role of Indian cinema as a bridge between cultures. Fans and critics alike are eagerly anticipating the engaging discussions, exclusive screenings, and memorable moments that are set to make IFFM 2025 an unforgettable celebration of talent, storytelling, and cinematic excellence.
