Aamir Khan, known for his meticulous approach to filmmaking, is creating a buzz not just for his upcoming release, 'Sitaare Zameen Par', but also for a massive collaboration that has fans eagerly waiting. The actor, who usually keeps his future projects under wraps, has broken his own rule to share exciting details about his much-anticipated film with acclaimed Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Team-Up with Lokesh Kanagaraj Confirmed

The industry has been rife with speculation about Aamir Khan joining forces with Lokesh Kanagaraj, the man behind blockbuster hits like 'Kaithi' and 'Vikram'. Putting the rumours to rest, Aamir has officially confirmed the project. In a recent interview, the superstar revealed the timeline for this high-octane venture.

Aamir stated, 'Lokesh and I are doing a film together. Yeh film agle saal banegi. He is right now going to shoot Kaithi 2. So, next year, August-September, we will start.' This confirmation sets the stage for a monumental crossover between Bollywood and the South Indian film industry. Aamir had previously hinted at the genre, describing it as a large-scale superhero film packed with action, promising a visual spectacle for the audience.

While the project with Lokesh is set for next year, Aamir is currently focused on the release of 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. Directed by R. S. Prasanna, the film is scheduled to hit theatres on June 20 and features Genelia D'Souza in a leading role. An official remake of the 2018 Spanish film 'Champions', the movie has already garnered attention for its heartfelt theme.

Interestingly, Aamir plans a unique release for the film on a limited 1,250 screens initially. This strategy allows for a flexible rollout, with shows increasing based on real-time audience demand. Aamir also shared that it was veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan who encouraged him to opt for a theatrical release, despite many industry friends advising against it.
