Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan is making headlines once again—this time with the announcement of a massive-scale superhero action film helmed by renowned Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for cinematic hits like Vikram and Leo. This announcement adds another milestone to Aamir’s already dynamic and diverse cinematic journey.

Aamir Khan Sets the Stage for an Action-Packed Future

Famous for his selective approach to filmmaking, Aamir Khan is now shifting gears. Known for focusing on one film over several years, the actor is currently preparing a lineup of diverse and ambitious projects that promise to cater to audiences across genres.

After the emotionally driven Sitaare Zameen Par, which is set to release on June 20, 2025, Aamir will move on to portray Indian cinema’s founding father in the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, expected to release on Christmas 2026.

But the biggest surprise came during a recent media interaction, where Aamir confirmed what he called the “biggest film of his career”—a large-scale, high-budget superhero action film in collaboration with Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Official Statement: Aamir Confirms Superhero Collaboration

Sharing details about the upcoming project, Aamir said, “Lokesh and I are working on a film, it is a superhero film. It is a big-scale action film and it will start next year, second half.”

This revelation has already sent fans into a frenzy, with many eager to see Aamir in an action-heavy avatar. Considering Lokesh Kanagaraj’s flair for crafting gripping action blockbusters, expectations are understandably sky-high.

Mass Appeal: Aamir’s Cameo in ‘Coolie’ Before Superhero Launch Before the superhero film begins production, Aamir Khan will also be seen in a special cameo in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s upcoming multi-starrer Coolie, which features South Indian legends like Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Soubin Shahir. Described as a mass entertainer, Coolie is already generating buzz and Aamir’s surprise appearance only adds fuel to the fire.

Rumours Dismissed: No Sequel for PK

During the interaction, Aamir took the opportunity to dismiss speculation around a sequel to his blockbuster hit PK. Clarifying the situation, he said,

“PK 2 is a rumour. I’m doing Dadasaheb Phalke biopic, Raju and I are working on it.”

This declaration puts to rest the circulating gossip and refocuses attention on his current projects.

The Dream Project: Mahabharata Still in the Works

Beyond his confirmed films, Aamir has often spoken about his dream project, a mythological adaptation of the Mahabharata. Though still in conceptual stages, he remains deeply committed to this colossal vision.

He explained, “Mahabharata has been my dream for the last 25 years. It is not a film. When you are making Mahabharata, you are not making a film, you’re surrendering.”

Aamir noted that he would only move forward once a solid foundation is established.

“Till the time I don’t make a basic foundation for it, I won’t be able to answer. I don’t have the right information right now. All I know is I’m going to start work on it.”

Possible Sequels: Revisiting Iconic Characters

Aamir Khan also addressed questions about potential sequels to some of his most beloved films. Fans may have reason to rejoice, as he shared ideas about continuing stories from 3 Idiots, Dil Chahta Hai, and Sarfarosh.

He elaborated, “A sequel can be made to 3 Idiots with those three characters, who can meet later. Also, a sequel can be made to Dil Chahta Hai and Sarfarosh.”

On Dil Chahta Hai, he proposed a relatable and fresh take: “We can explore the mid-life crisis of the three boys, and they all are seeking therapy. So, it will be an interesting thing, you know, for the three of them.”

These ideas highlight Aamir’s continued commitment to telling relevant, emotionally engaging stories that evolve with their audience.
