As Aamir Khan gears up for his upcoming release Sitaare Zameen Par, a video has gone viral showing Shah Rukh Khan visiting the sets of the movie to meet the cast. The video, which was shared by Aamir Khan Productions, shows the superstar surprising Aamir Khan and the cast alike with his appearance on set. The heartwarming video captured SRK’s enthusiastic interactions with the actors as they shook hands, joked, took pictures and even tried one of SRK’s iconic poses.

The video starts off showing the actors on set, with the words “It was just a normal day on set. Until…” Aamir Khan’s surprised expression is shown, followed by the footage of Shah Rukh Khan’s arrival. The cast and crew can be seen embracing the actor and shaking hands. The two stars also shared a quick hug before Shah Rukh Khan revealed that Aamir had requested him repeatedly to visit the actors on set as they were doing “so well.”

“Aamir has told me at least 10 times,” the Jawan actor admitted. “He said, ‘Come and meet the actors. They are doing so well.’ I didn’t get time earlier but every day I meet him, whenever I am meeting him, he is calling me also, saying, ‘Please come. Please come.’ Even 3 days ago, he told me, ‘Shah, tu ana yaar (Come no, please)!’”

Shah Rukh Khan’s interaction with the cast

Shah Rukh Khan engaged personally with the cast, which includes actors with Down syndrome. They passionately recited many of SRK’s iconic dialogues from movies like Darr, Chak De! India and Baazigar, while Aamir Khan looked on.

On being introduced to Simran Mangeshkar, who will play the role of Golu Khan in the film, SRK remarked that she was close in age to his son, Aryan. Another actor, in a funny misunderstanding, declared, “When I meet Aamir sir, I am going to just hug him tight.” Shah Rukh laughingly asked, “Me or him?” before going in for an embrace. He also recited his iconic dialogue from Don with another cast member, even performing his signature pose. The visit culminated in a group picture with the cast and the two superstars.

The internet’s feelings about the video

The internet was quick to react to the video, with many users feeling positively towards the visit. One X user commented, “From a call to a heartwarming surprise- King Khan lit up the sets of Sitaare Zameen Par with his visit, sharing unforgettable moments with Aamir Khan and the wonderful souls on set. A day full of smiles, warmth, and magic!”

“Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan together,”, another post read. “The king of Bollywood Joins Perfectionist Aamir to promote his next #SitaareZameenPar.”

Yet another user gushed, “This was truly heartwarming to see. We need a full fledged movie starring Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan.”

However, some people on X saw the visit more as a calculated publicity stunt than a heartwarming action.

“Aamir Khan’s film is releasing this week, but #ShahRukhKhan is trending! This proves how Aamir smartly used SRK for #SitaareZameenPar’s promotion. This is the epic level of charisma we expect from SRK!”, one user posted.

“All this publicity is just to get folks to watch the movie !”, another tweet read.

Sitaare Zameen par will see Aamir Khan return to the big screen after three years. The highly anticipated release is the successor to his 2007 movie Taare Zameen Par and the remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions. The story is about a suspended basketball coach who must work with children with disabilities as a part of his community service. The film will star Aamir Khan, Genelia Deshmukh, Aroush Dutta, Gopi Krishnan Varma and Dolly Ahluwalia amongst others.
