Aamir Khan is struggling to deliver a hit film since 2018
One of the biggest, most critically acclaimed, and most successful actors in the Indian Cinema, Mr. Aamir Khan has been struggling to deliver a hit film since 2018. It is unfortunate. But he is determined to make a comeback. He is reading several scripts. He is meeting and discussing films with several big filmmakers. Like Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan is eyeing to make a big comeback.
Shahrukh Khan’s comeback is nothing sort of extraordinary. He delivered consecutive box office failures and found himself surrounded by several controversies. He took a major hiatus, came back in 2023, and delivered two major commercial successfully films and one hit film.
Following the footsteps of his friend Shahrukh Khan, now even Aamir Khan is discussing action films with a few highly successful directors from the South Film Industry, especially from the Tamil Film Industry.
Even Salman Khan at present is doing an action film titled ‘Sikandar’ with highly successful Tamil director A R Murugadoss.
Aamir Khan X Lokesh Kanagaraj
Aamir Khan has met director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Lokesh Kanagaraj is one of the most successful Tami film directors. He is known for directing blockbuster films like Master, Leo, Kaithi, Vikram, and the upcoming Coolie, Vikram 2, Rolex and Kaithi 2.
Lokesh Kanagaraj has met Aamir Khan in Chennai and they are discussing a film together which is almost confirmed.
According to the reports, Lokesh Kanagaraj and Aamir Khan are planning a large scale action thriller film where Aamir Khan will take the lead role. The film will be produced by Sun Pictures. The budget of the film will be over 200+ crores excluding Aamir Khan’s fees. It will be released in several languages such as Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. The film is expected to go on floors in 2025 and will be released in the second half of 2026.
Some reports also suggest that before their action film collaboration, Aamir Khan will most likely to an extended guest appearance in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s 2025 directional film ‘Coolie’. Coolie is a high budget action thriller film starring superstar Rajinikanth in the lead. The film also stars popular Telugu actor Nagarjuna.
Besides Lokesh Kanagaraj, Aamir Khan has met a few other Telugu film directors. At present, Aamir Khan has recently wrapped up the shooting of his 2025 film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’. The film was earlier scheduled to be released in December 2024 but was postponed to 2025.
Sitaare Zameen Par will be released with the least expectations. It is not a hyped action film. Sitaare Zameen Par is a sports drama film, a genre that presently is not working in Indian films. In recent months, critically acclaimed sports drama films like ‘Maidaan’ and ‘Chandu Champion’ have failed at the box office.
Overall, one has to wait and watch Sitaare Zameen Par before passing judgment. Aamir Khan is a genius actor and filmmaker. He won’t act in an ordinary film. Sitaare Zameen Par is a remake of the 2018 Spanish film ‘Champions’. Considering Aamir Khan’s stardom and brand value in India, Sitaare Zameen Par could easily go past 300 crores globally if the film is made well.
