Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is reportedly in discussions to take on the lead role in the much-anticipated biopic of legendary singer-actor Kishore Kumar. Directed by Anurag Basu and produced by Bhushan Kumar, the film aims to bring the fascinating life of the iconic artist to the big screen in a unique way.
According to sources, Aamir Khan, a known admirer of Kishore Kumar, has been impressed by Basu’s distinct vision for the biopic. “Anurag Basu has approached the film with great passion, and Aamir is excited about the way the project is shaping up,” a source revealed. Reports also indicate that while Ranbir Kapoor was previously rumored for the role, Aamir is now being actively considered.
Aamir, who has been reviewing multiple scripts, is expected to finalize his next set of films by the end of the year. The Kishore Kumar biopic is among six projects currently under his consideration, including a comedy with Rajkumar Santoshi, a biopic on lawyer Ujjwal Nikam, and sequels like Ghajini 2. Aamir will reportedly commit to three of these films, carefully selecting the projects he feels most aligned with.
Anurag Basu, meanwhile, is wrapping up his romantic film featuring Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri, which is set to complete production by April 2025.
Fans eagerly await Aamir’s decision, with the Kishore Kumar biopic already generating significant buzz.
