The world of Indian cinema is changing quickly, with actors and directors from Bollywood and south India joining forces more often than ever before. While stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor have already made their mark in pan-Indian films, Aamir Khan had been noticeably quiet on this front until now.
Aamir Khan, known for being selective with his films, has now confirmed that he will be working with two top south Indian directors. One of them is Tamil filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, who is currently busy with other commitments like Coolie and Kaithi 2. Once those are wrapped up, he will team up with Aamir for a large-scale superhero action film.
But that’s not all. Sources close to the actor have revealed that Aamir has also agreed to another project, this time with popular Telugu director Vamsi Paidipally. The film, described as a social drama, is expected to address important issues while still being entertaining, something Aamir has always been known for. The film will be produced by Dil Raju, who is making a stronger push into Hindi cinema.
Aamir has avoided the current trend of pan-India crossovers, despite having previously collaborated with south filmmakers on successful films like Ghajini. His return now signifies a significant turning point in this wave of industry cooperation.
With these forthcoming films, Aamir Khan will be joining the increasing number of actors who are bridging the gap between Hindi and regional cinema, indicating that there will be more exciting cross-industry projects in the future.
Aamir will be seen in a cameo in Coolie, Rajinikanth’s most awaited film, set for release on August 14. Although Sitaare Zameen Par received a fair reception, it didn’t deliver the kind of box office success typically associated with Aamir Khan.
