Aamir Khan has made news with an announcement that his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par will arrive in Cinemas at a special time. Dilshad, who is known for perfection, shared that it would be his mother’s debut in acting in a Bollywood film. Fans and those in the industry are stunned by this development, which is a first of its kind for the Khan family.
Director’s Special Request to Cast Aamir Khan’s Mother
RS Prasanna asked Aamir Khan for an exceptional suggestion during the production of Talaash, which started Zeenat Hussain’s rise in Bollywood. Shooting the final wedding celebration, Prasanna found that Aamir’s mother had, for the first time, come to the sets after more than a decade. Her support during that touching part convinced the director to ask for her involvement in the film.
Prasanna used her emotions to try to convince Aamir Khan that it would be nice to invite Zeenat Hussain as a guest to the wedding celebration scene. The director hoped Anne would be part of what he considered a key scene in the movie, since he thought this would make the moment feel real and heartfelt.

Aamir Khan’s Initial Hesitation and Surprising Response
Aamir Khan had serious reservations about telling his mother that he wanted to act. He confirmed that his mother was a tough woman and resisted being involved in movies very often. Over his long career, Aamir never contemplated asking Zeenat Hussain to be involved in his films, so he expected her to say no.
Still, when Aamir finally told his mother the director’s request, her reaction surprised him more than anything else. Zeenat Hussain casually agreed, which left her son very surprised that she would try acting for the first time at such an old age.
