BOMBAY TIMES (May 21, 2025)

After the much-loved Dreams , producer Ravi Bhagchandka returns as one of the producers of Sitaare Zameen Par, a heartwarming film headlined by Aamir Khan. The movie by Aamir Khan Productions, which is all set to release on June 20, is already creating buzz for its emotional depth and feel-good energy.

Ravi’s journey with the film began in 2018 at the Berlin Film Festival, where he secured the rights to the Spanish original Champion. Later, during the pandemic, Aamir saw the film and liked it.

Ravi says, “It was the biggest dream of my life to capture the journey of Sachin sir (Sachin Tendulkar). After that, I wanted to back something that genuinely moved me, and this story did just that. It’s a beautiful take on empathy, inclusion and self-worth.”

The trailer has received a great response, with the audience eager to watch this heartfelt story unfold. “I truly hope it connects with people,” says Ravi.

Sachin: A Billion Dreams, which was a cinematic tribute to Sachin Tendulkar and gave fans goosebumps, is all set to complete eight years. Reflecting on his journey so far, Ravi says, “Sachin: A Billion Dreams was special and opened up so many avenues for me as a producer. Now, with Sitaare Zameen Par, I feel the same kind of spark.”

Under his banner, 200 Not Out Cinema, Ravi is developing a range of new projects across genres. His next is Yuvraj Singh’s biopic. “We’re working on stories that entertain, inspire and stay with you. That’s the kind of cinema I believe in,” he signs off.
