‘Stars Bhoomi Par’ was released in theater on 20 June.

The special thing is that not only India, to reach new audiences around the world, ‘Stars Zameen Par’ will also be given all the titles and dubbing in major languages.
In the coming time, more films of Aamir Khan Productions will be shown on this platform.
Significantly, YouTube has a lot of reach in India and the world.

Aamir’s role in the film is that of basketball coach.
Talking at the launch, Aamir Khan said,
For the last 15 years, I was trying to reach those who cannot reach the theater, or who could not go theater for some reason. Now finally the time has come when everything is sitting right together. Our government started UPI and now India is the number 1 in the world in electronic payments. Internet access has also increased very fast in India and is increasing every day. Also, YouTube occurs in almost every device. Now we can deliver films to large parts of India and many people of the world.
Aamir Khan further said,
My dream is that cinema reaches everyone, that too at the right and cheap prices. I want people to see cinema whenever they want, wherever they want. If this method is successful, creative people will be able to say different stories, without worrying about border or other interruptions. It will also be a great opportunity for new artists and people coming to the film industry. If this idea works, it will prove beneficial for everyone.
Regarding this partnership, Gunjan Soni, Country Managing Director of YouTube India said,
The digital release of ‘Stars Zameen Par’ only on YouTube is a big step towards bringing Indian films worldwide. YouTube is already a big digital platform for premium content and we are not only reaching our fierce access to filmmakers and content creators, but also gives freedom to reach their audience according to their own. Today’s launch is not just a film release YouTube is laying a red carpet of global stage for Indian cinema.
