After the resounding success of "3 Idiots" (2009) and "PK" (2014), Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani are reportedly in talks to collaborate for a third time, potentially delighting fans of meaningful and entertaining cinema. Sources indicate that the discussions are in advanced stages, with the film likely to go into production in mid-2026.
Rajkumar Hirani, known for his ability to blend humor with social commentary, apparently had several ideas in mind but has now settled on a subject that has piqued Aamir Khan's interest. According to reports, both have principally agreed to the film, which is expected to be Hirani's next directorial venture after "Dunki" (2023). The new project is described as a slice-of-life film with comedic and inspirational elements, a genre that aligns with Hirani's signature style. Aamir Khan is said to be particularly enthusiastic about the project, as it offers him the opportunity to explore a different dimension as an actor.
While the film is still untitled and many details are under wraps, it is expected to go into pre-production after the release of Aamir Khan's upcoming film, "Sitaare Zameen Par," which is slated to release on June 20, 2025.
The previous collaborations between Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani have not only been box office successes but have also left a lasting impact on Indian cinema. "3 Idiots" redefined mainstream Bollywood storytelling, while "PK" sparked social discourse with its thought-provoking narrative. Both films are considered benchmarks in their respective genres and continue to inspire filmmakers and audiences alike.
In addition to this potential collaboration with Rajkumar Hirani, Aamir Khan is reportedly in talks with director Lokesh Kanagaraj for a superhero film, which is expected to go on floors in 2027. He is also considering a biopic on Kishore Kumar and two comedy films, possibly including one with Rajkumar Santoshi.
Fans eagerly await further details about the project and are excited about the prospect of seeing Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani team up again to create another memorable film.
