The actor would hope that Sitaare Zameen Par is the movie that may as soon as once more earn him the love of the lots.

Sitaare Zameen Par field workplace prediction

Whereas some studies have claimed that Sitaare Zameen Par can register a gap of round ₹10-11 crore, our sources differ.

He’s doing so many interviews, however the message about his movie doesn’t come throughout. I hope the movie does effectively, as a result of I need movies to do effectively on the field workplace, however up to now, the thrill is low.”
