Aamir Khan might have no releases this year but the actor has a surprise ready for his fans already. We hear that the actor, who's now busy prepping up and shooting for Nitesh Tiwari's Dangal, has already decided on his next project. Says a source close to the actor, "Aamir is now busy shooting Dangal but he plans to release it next Christmas. He does not want to lose out on time. He has already decided on his next project''.

The other film in question being his manager Advait Chandan's maiden directorial venture. "His manager is turning a director and expectedly, he has turned towards Aamir for help who has readily agreed to be a part of the film" revealed our khabroo. What is the film about? "The film revolves around a teenage girl who saves her mother from her abusive father with the help of an alcoholic divorcee." Aamir does not play the father. Instead he plays the alcoholic divorcee. "It is a mere coincidence that he did a film PK without getting drunk although there were conjectures initially that he is playing a drunkard in PK. Now he is actually turning an alcoholic for his next,''confirms our source. Guess, PK has finally turned Peekay!

Also, Kangana Ranaut seems to be the biggest contender for the role. "Talks are on with Kangana for the film. Aamir is very fond of Kangana and has showed interest in working with the actress. Kangana, on the other hand too follows Aamir in a lot of ways. The director is planning to cast Kangana as the mother. But nothing has been finalised now." When asked about it, as usual, Aamir denies it. "No, I have not signed anything else. I am going to be totally engrossed with Dangal. Once I sign anything, I will let everyone know. Right now, I am not even looking at scripts," he said. Remember how he denied doing Dangal initially?

MEANWHILE!

Aamir in a recent interview confirmed that he is, in fact producing a small budget film. He said, "Yes, I will be producing a film while doing Dangal. I will make an announcement soon" But the actor refused to chip in details about his production venture. "It is not what it is being written in the media. I am waiting for the right time to come out with the news". Our source also gave us inside scoop on the film's development. "It's a story of dreams and aspirations. It is a very inspirational film. The film revolves around a Muslim girl and how she battles the odds of communalism to become a superstar. It is tentatively titled The Secret Superstar.''
