Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya Found a Surprise Mention in Aamir Khan’s Upcoming ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ And The Meme Community has Gone Berserk.
An insult directed at Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya which became the ‘suar aadmi’ meme was referenceed in aamir khan’s upcoming ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’.
Aamir Khan’s latest outing on the screen, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, has been met with excitement, newfound hope for non-masala commercial cinema, calls for boycott, and, lastly, a cheeky reference to a vintage meme that has been a staple of the Indian Internet since its inception. The unflattering meme that has made its way into the upcoming Aamir Khan Productions movie is reportedly related to the melodious singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya. Yes, the same singer who gave us Bollywood gems such as ‘Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha’, ‘Suno Na Suno’, ‘Chand Taare’, ‘Mere Khayalo Ki Malika’, ‘Baadshah O Baadshah’, ‘Tauba Tumhare Ishare’, ‘Husn Hai Suhana’, ‘Tan Tana Tan’, among many, many other numbers.
What exactly is Bhattacharya doing in ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, and what’s the meme?
Sitaare zameen par
For the unversed, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ that stars Aamir Khan in a pivotal role, is a “spiritual” successor of 2007’s highly-acclaimed and dearly loved ‘Taare Zameen Par’ that followed the everyday life of Ishan Awasthi living through an undiagnosed dyslexia and the alienation and ridicule that engulfs his life until he feels seen by a boarding school substitute art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh. ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, on the other hand, is about a basketball coach who is instructed by the court to train a team of intellectually disabled players after a series of events takes place in his life.
The trailer of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ dropped on YouTube on May 12 and is already doing huge numbers on the platform. At the time of publishing this, the trailer uploaded on Aamir Khan’s channel ‘Aamir Khan Talkies’ has brought in over 5 crore views, and the comments under the now-viral 3 and a half minute trailer are overwhelmingly positive.

The fans have rallied behind Khan for bringing real persons with real disabilities on the big screen, praising the perfectionist for giving them the much-needed representation in a society that mostly excludes them. The wholesome nature of the movie has inspired parents to write down heartfelt message for the actor who is eager to tell a motivational tale to the theatres.
“My Daughter is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Film like this so inspiring for parents like us. I am so much thankful to God for choosing me to take care of my angel daughter. Thank you Amir sir for bringing focus and awareness on this topic. Child is not disabled, they are just different and very very special,” a user wrote.
“My son is on autism spectrum , the trailer made me cry and laugh at the same time. Hope this movie brings some awareness and respect for children’s and individuals who are with special needs .. all the best, (sic)” wrote another.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya Meme
The trailer also brought back an insult directly aimed at singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya that, over the years, has turned into a pop-culture phenomenon that is brought to life every time the singer drops a hot opinion or voices a controversial statement.
Typed by a user named “Archit Arya”, the YouTube comment takes shots at the singer while also praising him for his singing skills.
“Aapki Voice Mein Bahut Sadgi Hai Abhijeet Bhattacharya Ji Par Aadmi Suar Ho.” The comment roughly translates to, “There is a simplicity in your voice abhijeet bhattacharya ji but as a person you are a hai.”

The compliment laced with piercing insult has been given a twist in the context of the movie. “Aap coach bahut achche ho, lekin aadmi suar ho (You are a competent coach but as a person you are pig.)”

Calls For Boycott
A section of social media users were reminded of Aamir Khan’s visit to Turkey during the pandemic in 2020 when the actor had travelled to the country to shoot portions of ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. While there, Khan met up with the First Lady Emine Erdogan.
Indian citizens have taken a strong stance against Turkey after the country publicly supported Pakistan when the Indian Armed Forces responded with a series of missile strikes on terror camps in Pak and PoK under “Operation Sindoor” on May 7. India’s retaliation came a couple of weeks after 26 innocent tourists were killed in Pahalgam on April 22.
Plagiarism Controversy
Social media users on ‘X’ quickly noticed the eerily similarities between ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ and ‘Champions’, calling Khan’s cinema a ‘frame-by-frame’ copy of the latter.
‘Champions’ that stars Woody Harrelson is the Hollywood adaptation of Spanish film ‘Campeones’.
‘Campeones’ came out in 2018, while ‘Champions’ released in 2023.
Aamir Khan’s ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is slated to release next month on the June 20.
