'Boycott Sitaare Zameen Par', Say Netizens Questioning 'Mr Opportunist' Aamir Khan's Late Post On Operation Sindoor Just Hours Before Movie Trailer Launch

The team of Sitaare Zameen Par is all set to launch the trailer of the upcoming film on Tuesday, May 13. Aamir Khan Productions shared a teaser, hours ahead of the trailer reveal. Earlier, the makers had planned an event on May 9 but delayed it due to the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan. As Sitaare Zameen Par teaser was released, with the trailer debut time, social media users flooded the comments section with boycott calls, questioning Aamir's long-observed silence on Operation Sindoor, carried out by the Indian Armed Forces on terror groups in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.

Aamir has already been trolled for keeping silent on the matter despite continuing to make public appearances. Many pointed out that his team posted a "token" commentary on Op Sindoor hours before the trailer launch of his film. Many called him "Mr Opportunist", an apparent twist on his monicker "Mr Perfectionist".
