Just when it looked like the drama around Sitaare Zameen Par was settling down, there’s a fresh twist. After making headlines for skipping a traditional OTT release and opting for a YouTube pay-per-view model, the film has now run into a new problem, confusion over misplaced rental pricing.
Apple TV currently shows the movie available to rent for ₹179. But hold on, that’s apparently a mistake. Aamir Khan Productions took to their official X handle and clarified that they’re aware of the issue and are working with Apple to sort it out. They also apologized to fans for the inconvenience. Still, the damage seems to have been done, especially considering the already complicated buzz around the film’s digital release.
Many viewers had earlier questioned why Sitaare Zameen Par didn’t land directly on popular OTT platforms like Netflix or Prime Video. The pay-per-view model through YouTube felt unusual for such a high-profile film, and while it gave the audience flexibility, it also sparked debates about pricing and accessibility.
Now, with this pricing glitch on Apple TV, the frustration among viewers has only grown. Even though the production house is trying to fix things, the whole situation just adds to the sense that this film’s digital journey has been anything but smooth.
