Aamir Khan to Star in Kishore Kumar Biopic?

As Aamir Khan gears up for his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, slated for release in 2025, he is also exploring various future projects. Recent reports indicate that Khan is in discussions with filmmaker Anurag Basu regarding a biopic on the legendary Kishore Kumar.

According to the media reports, a source close to the development revealed, “The Kishore Kumar biopic is a subject close to the heart of Anurag Basu and Bhushan Kumar and they are looking to bring it to the spectacle in the best possible way. Aamir Khan is also a big admirer of Kishore Kumar and loved the vision that Basu has to bring the life of legend to the spectacle. The filmmaker has treated it very differently, and that’s what has fascinated Aamir the most."

As per the source, Anurag Basu and Aamir have had four to five meetings and things are seemingly positive as of yet. The source mentioned, “Aamir has taken as many as 6 films in consideration, and every film is in different stages of development. While the script of Kishore Kumar’s Biopic, Ujjwal Nikam’s Biopic, and Rajkumar Santoshi’s comedy is locked, Ghajini 2, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s next, and Zoya Akhtar’s next are in the development stage. "

The source further added,"Aamir has liked all the films and will take a call on his immediate next by the end of this year. Of the 6 films, he will do three for sure in different timelines and might let go of the other three."

Aamir Khan was last seen in the 2022 film Laal Singh Chhadha. After taking a well-deserved break, he is ready to return with RS Prasanna’s Sitaare Zameen Par and Rajkumar Santoshi’s Lahore: 1947. In Sitaare Zameen Par, he will star alongside Genelia D’Souza, while in Lahore: 1947, he will produce the film featuring Sunny Deol in the lead role.
