The mystery woman in Aamir Khan's life is no more a mystery. Ayesha Takia, will play Aamir's leading lady in his next film to be directed by Murugadoss, a film to be produced by Madhu Varma (Ram Gopal Varma's relative) and Alu Arvind.

Apparently the film is a remake of Murgudoss's earlier film Gajini. Ayesha's mother confirmed the news saying, "Ayesha will be paired opposite Aamir in a forthcoming project. The film is a remake of a south Indian film which will be directed by a south Indian director." she said.

Ayesha's career is on an upswing with her winning critical acclaim for films like Nagesh Kukunoor's Dor and Nikhil Advani's Salaam-E-Ishq. Dor especially seems to have worked wonders for the actress with directors and producers suddenly taking notice of her talent. Aamir too seems to have acknowledge this fact.

Ayesha, as of now has three films in the pipeline- Lovely Singh's Kya Love Story Hain opposite Tusshar Kapoor, E Niwas's De Taali (where she Riteish Deshmukh and Aftaab Shivdasani play childhood friends) and Ahmed Khan's Fool and Final opposite Shahid Kapoor.

Although she has acted with many budding stars, this is Ayesha's first film opposite a megastar and the relatively newcomer is ecstatic.

We all are only too well acquainted with Aamir Khan's work policy however, and Ayesha can't reveal anything more at this point.
