Aamir Khan eyes global action spectacle

Sources inform that Khan is determined to make an action film that is larger in scale than any other Indian movie. "His contemporaries Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan have already headlined big-ticket action spectacles. [While Aamir has done action], he is keen to explore the genre with a film that can compete on an international scale. Given Stephen's distinctive approach to action and physical comedy, Aamir is keen to work on something with him," shares a source close to production.

However, the project is far from locked. Khan, known to take his time before committing to a film, is considering several scripts. "Aamir is also weighing an actioner by Atlee. He has requested time till March 2027. Right now his focus is on Ashutosh Gowarikar's Lalkaara [based on the historic 1952 India-Pakistan Test cricket series] and director Rajkumar Hirani's sequel to 3 Idiots which will be ready by January 2027," adds the source.
