Aamir might reunite with Rajkumar Santoshi for a slice-of-life film
Acclaimed Bollywood actor, Aamir Khan, is reportedly planning a return to acting after dedicating his time to his production house, Aamir Khan Productions. Following the 2022 release of Laal Singh Chadha, reports from Mid-Day suggest that Khan's comeback could be in a slice-of-life movie directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. Per reports, the film is expected to blend humor with a social message at its core.
Khan's next role pending finalization of 'Sitaare Zameen Par'
A source close to Khan revealed that the actor is considering taking on the lead role in Santoshi's project. However, the 59-year-old actor will only finalize his next acting film after the edit of his next, Sitaare Zameen Par is locked. If true, this potential collaboration would mark a reunion between Khan and Santoshi, who previously worked together on the cult classic comedy-drama Andaz Apna Apna.
Aamir Khan Productions under new leadership
While contemplating his return to acting, Khan continues to focus on his production house. His goal is to transform Aamir Khan Productions into a full-fledged studio under the leadership of its newly appointed CEO, Aparna Purohit. Purohit brings eight years of experience from Amazon Prime India to her new role at the production house. According to Pinkvilla, Aamir Khan Productions is currently preparing for three projects set to roll out between October and March.
