Kolkata/IBNS: Over 200 specially-abled children enjoyed a special screening of Aamir Khan starrer Sitaare Zameen Par at Quest Mall in Kolkata last week.

The event was organized by Ek Packet Umeed, partnering with the India Autism Centre (IAC), and supported by FICCI FLO Kolkata.

Shashi Panja, Minister-in-Charge, Government of West Bengal, was the Chief Guest at the event along with actress Koel Mallick, who attended as the Guest of Honor.

Both spent time with the children and appreciated the efforts of the organizers.

“I am very excited to be here, amongst all the kids and parents. Aamir Khan has always done wonders when it comes to working on a new concept, and this in particular is a commendable job," said Koel Mullick while speaking to IBNS.

A sports comedy drama, Sitaare Zameen Par revolves around a suspended basketball coach who does community service by helping a team of players with disabilities to prepare for a tournament.

Directed by R.S. Prasanna, the film features Genelia Deshmukh in a key role.

The Aamir Khan Productions film, which is a spiritual successor to Aamir's 2007 film Taare Zameen Par, released on June 20.
