Aamir Khan is set to star in a new film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his work on “Kaithi,” “Master,” and the recently released “Leo.” This collaboration is being seen as a significant crossover between the North and South Indian film industries, bringing together Khan’s star power and Kanagaraj’s directorial expertise. The film’s story is rumored to be centered around a superhero theme, which would be a first for both Khan and Kanagaraj.
Khan has confirmed that he will begin shooting for the film in mid-2026, following the completion of his current project with Rajkumar Hirani. The upcoming film with Hirani is a biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian cinema. Khan and Hirani have previously collaborated on successful films like “3 Idiots” and “PK,” and their upcoming project has generated significant buzz.
Sources close to the development have indicated that Khan will fully devote himself to Kanagaraj’s project once Hirani’s film is wrapped up. The film is expected to be released on a large scale, both domestically and internationally.
The collaboration between Khan and Kanagaraj is seen as a significant development in the Indian film industry, bridging the gap between the North and South Indian cinema. With Khan’s impressive filmography, including hits like “Ghajini,” “3 Idiots,” “PK,” and “Dangal,” and Kanagaraj’s expertise in crafting thrillers, this project is highly anticipated.
While details about the film’s story are still under wraps, the news of Khan and Kanagaraj joining forces has created excitement among fans and industry insiders alike. The film’s superhero theme is expected to be a new milestone in Khan’s career, who has already established himself as a versatile actor in the Indian film industry.
