Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is reportedly in discussions to headline a major project helmed by acclaimed Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj.

According to Indian media reports, the “3 Idiots” actor is eager to team up with Kanagaraj for a pan-India film, marking his return to the big screen two years after “Laal Singh Chaddha” in 2022.

The news first broke on Telugu portal Aakashavaani’s official X account, which shared, “BIG BREAKING – A Mindblowing Combo!! #AamirKhan, #LokeshKanagaraj, and #MythriMovies are teaming up for a PAN India film soon”.

“According to our very reliable sources, the project is CONFIRMED,” the X post read.

The portal also reported that talks between Aamir Khan, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Mythri Movies are in advanced stages, with the collaboration set to materialise soon.
