The possibility of Bollywood's iconic trio, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan, sharing screen space in a film has once again become a hot topic of discussion. Aamir Khan recently addressed the potential collaboration, expressing his thoughts on the challenges and excitement surrounding such a project.
In a recent interview on Komal Nahta's podcast "Game Changers: The Producer Series," Aamir Khan spoke about the possibility of working with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. He acknowledged that while Salman and Shah Rukh have worked together, and he and Salman have also collaborated, the three of them have never been in the same film. However, he believes that they are now "more ready for it than we were earlier".
Aamir stated that if a good story comes along with well-defined roles for each of them, and if they all like the script, they would "definitely do it". He emphasized that there is "no other problem" hindering a potential collaboration. When asked about the likelihood of all three actors liking the same story, Aamir estimated a "50-50 chance". He also acknowledged the audience's desire to see them together, stating that he, Shah Rukh, and Salman respect those emotions.
While the superstars have hinted at a possible collaboration, Aamir recently reignited excitement by addressing the much-anticipated project. Aamir highlighted that he has never shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan and expressed his keen interest in working with him. Aamir Khan shared that he believes working with Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan would be an enjoyable experience for all three of them, and the audience would also love seeing them together on screen. Aamir Khan expressed that regardless of whether the film turns out to be good or bad, audiences would still enjoy watching the three of them together on screen. He emphasized that the experience itself would be memorable and worthwhile.
Notably, the three Khans have been active in Hindi cinema for over three decades. Despite their individual successes and collaborations with each other, a film featuring all three remains elusive.
Financial viability and script selection are major hurdles. Salman Khan has pointed out the financial challenges of bringing the three together, stating that the combined budget would be enormous, making it difficult for any producer to undertake the project. Aamir echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the need for a compelling script with equally important roles for each actor.
Previously, there was a missed opportunity in the early 2000s with the film "Om Jai Jagdish," which was initially planned with Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir in the lead roles. However, due to scheduling conflicts, all three actors rejected the project.
Despite the challenges, the actors themselves seem more open to the idea than before. Aamir's recent statements suggest a willingness to explore potential collaborations if the right script comes along. This has raised hopes among fans who have long awaited the cinematic spectacle of seeing the three Khans together.
In the meantime, all three actors remain busy with their individual projects. Aamir was recently seen in "Sitaare Zameen Par", Shah Rukh's upcoming films include "King", and Salman's upcoming films include "7 Dogs" and "Battle of Galwan".
