Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par Copied From Champions?

Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par Faces Boycott Over Copying Hollywood’s Champions (2023)

Aamir Khan’s upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par faces backlash for allegedly copying Hollywood’s Champions (2023). #BoycottAamirKhan trends amid plagiarism and political controversies.

Aamir Khan’s much awaited film Sitaare Zameen Par has landed in controversy even before its release. The actor is facing serious accusations of copying the 2023 Hollywood film Champions, directed by Bobby Farrelly. Social media users are sharing side by side video clips, claiming that Sitaare Zameen Par is a frame to frame remake with no originality.

The situation escalated when a viral tweet pointed out that Champions itself was a remake of the Spanish film Campeones (2018), raising questions about the lack of creative input in Aamir Khan’s project. The backlash has sparked massive online campaigns with hashtags like #BoycottAamirKhan and #BoycottSitaareZameenPar trending across platforms.

Adding fuel to the fire, Aamir Khan’s recent post about Operation Sindoor is being criticized as a publicity stunt. Netizens alleged that he chose to speak about the ongoing India Pakistan tensions conveniently before his film’s trailer launch. A comment read, “Abhi yaad aaya before trailer launch,” accusing the actor of opportunism.

This isn’t the first time Aamir Khan has faced such criticism. Social media users have also revived his controversial 2020 visit to Turkey, where he met the Turkish First Lady. His past remarks about feeling “unsafe” in India are being widely shared again, intensifying the boycott calls.

With the trailer of Sitaare Zameen Par now out, the film’s fate looks uncertain as it battles plagiarism accusations and political controversies simultaneously.
