Aamir Khan Bollywood stars are now increasingly collaborating with South Indian directors, and it seems like an inevitability that blockbuster hits will become a new normal. Shah Rukh Khan did a massive success with his film in association with Atlee, while Ranbir Kapoor pulled off another industry hit with Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s “Animal.” Even Salman Khan is doing a film with Tamil director A.R. Murugadoss. Now, it’s Aamir Khan who is joining the trend, as the latter is reportedly teaming up with Kollywood star director Lokesh Kanagaraj for his next.
Aamir Khan and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Pan-India Film
According to grapevine in the industry, Aamir Khan will team up with Lokesh Kanagaraj for a pan-India film. As per reports, the said project is going to be produced by the popular production house Mythri Movie Makers. Following up on the successes of “Kaithi,” “Master,” “Vikram,” and “Leo,” Lokesh Kanagaraj is now being hailed as one of the top directors in the industry. Everyone is looking forward with bated breath at what he does next, and that becomes doubly so with Aamir Khan playing the lead.

A much-needed hit for Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan has been going through a bad time, failing to come up with a hit since 2018. His new movies, such as “Thugs of Hindostan” and “Laal Singh Chaddha,” were major flops at the box office. For this Bollywood superstar, then, this collaboration with Lokesh Kanagaraj might turn out to be an important opportunity for him to stage a strong comeback. The idea of working with some successful South Indian director is, therefore, very strategic on Aamir’s part, since he is in dire need of a blockbuster.
Current Projects of Aamir Khan and Lokesh Kanagaraj
Aamir Khan is working on the film “Sitare Zameen Par,” which is a remake of the 2018 Spanish film “Champions.” This film is coming to the floors by the end of this year. On the other hand, Lokesh Kanagaraj is busy directing Rajinikanth’s upcoming film “Coolie.” With their respective commitments and the rumored collaboration, both Aamir Khan and Lokesh Kanagaraj are going to create another cinematic spectacle.
