Aamir To Do A Superhero Film

Aamir
is
also
reuniting
with

PK
Director
Rajkumar
Hirani
for
a
biopic
on
Dadasaheb
Phalke,
the
Father
of
Indian
Cinema.

Aamir
Khan
is
all
set
to
do
a
superhero
film!

He
will
team
up
with
Tamil
Director
Lokesh
Kanagaraj,
and
he
confirms
the
news.

‘Lokesh
and
I
are
working
on
a
film,
it
is
a
superhero
film.
It
is
a
big-scale
action
film
and
it
will
start
next
year,
second
half,’
Aamir
says.

Kanagaraj
is
known
for
his
action-packed
and
commercially
successful
films
like
the
Kamal
Haasan
starrer

Vikram,
the
Vijay
starrers

Leo
and

Master
and
the
Karthi
starrer

Kaithi.

Aamir
dismissed
reports
about
a
possible
sequel
to
his
2014
comedy
drama

PK.
Instead,
he
said
he
is
reuniting
with

PK
Director
Rajkumar
Hirani
for
a
biopic
on
Dadasaheb
Phalke,
the
Father
of
Indian
Cinema.

Aamir
said
his
most
ambitious
project
is
the

Mahabharata
but
he
refused
to
divulge
details.

“Mahabharata
has
been
my
dream
for
the
last
25
years.
It
is
not
a
film.
When
you
are
making
the

Mahabharata,
you
are
not
making
a
film,
you’re
surrendering.
I’m
trying,
but
I
don’t
know
if
I’ll
be
able
to
fulfil
my
dream.
Till
the
time
I
don’t
make
a
basic
foundation,
I
won’t
be
able
to
answer
(any
question).
All
I
know
is
I’m
going
to
start
work
on
it,”
he
says.

Which
of
his
films
have
the
potential
for
sequels?

“A
sequel
can
be
made
to

3
Idiots
with
those
three
characters
(played
by
R
Madhavan,
Sharman
Joshi
and
Aamir),
who
meet
later
(in
life).
A
sequel
can
also
be
made
to

Dil
Chahta
Hai
and

Sarfarosh.

“Like,
in

Dil
Chahta
Hai,
we
can
explore
the
mid-life
crisis
of
the
three
boys
(played
by
Akshaye
Khanna,
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Aamir),
and
they
are
all
seeking
therapy.”

Aamir,
whose
next
film

Sitaare
Zameen
Par
will
release
on
June
20,
has
been
trolled
for
making
a
remake
of
the
Spanish
movie

Campeones.

“Remakes
are
a
new
canvas
for
me,
will
do
them
all
my
life,”
he
defends
his
decision.

The
star
and
filmmaker
said
he
has
done
over
10
remakes
and
they
have
all
been
superhits,
except
for

Laal
Singh
Chaddha.

“Like

Ghajini
or
if
I’ve
to
start
from
the
beginning
of
my
career,
then

Qayamat
Se
Qayamat
Tak,
which
is
a
remake
of

Romeo
And
Juliet.
So
I
have
never
had
a
problem
with
remakes
because
for
me,
it
is
a
new
canvas.

“I
believe
in
remakes
and
will
do
them
all
my
life.
Whenever
I
get
a
good
remake,
I
will
do
it.
Why
shouldn’t
I?
If
you
don’t
want
to
see
it,
don’t.”

Why
is
Shakespeare
respected
so
much
even
today,
Aamir
wondered,
about
the
playwright
whose
work
has
been
endlessly
adapted
in
cinema,
theatre
and
other
art
forms.

“He
is
gone,
write
your
own
play.
Why
are
you
doing

Hamlet
again?
Why
do
you
want
to
say,
‘To
be
or
not
to
be’?
The
chatter
about
remakes,
I
don’t
know
where
it
came
from.
Now
suddenly,
some
trolls
have
launched
it.

“Some
of
our
biggest
hits
have
been
remakes.
If
cut
and
paste
is
so
easy,
then
you
do
it.
But
it’s
not
a
cut
and
paste
thing,
you’ve
to
put
your
life
into
it,”
he
says.

Aamir
adds
that
he’s
not
the
only
one
doing
remakes.
Many
film
folk,
including
the
hit
screenwriting
team
of
Salim
Khan
and
Javed
Akhtar
have
adapted
stories
in
their
career.

“I’ve
seen
this
beautiful
film,
which
is
made
in
Spanish.
Are
you
going
to
watch
a
Spanish
film?
I
don’t
think
you
have
seen
a
Spanish
film
in
India.
You
may
have
seen
one
or
two
but
by
and
large,
we
don’t
watch
them,”
he
feels.

Spanish
audiences
liked

Campeones
(Champions
in
its
Hollywood
version)
and
understood
its
message
about
neurodivergence,
which
refers
to
differences
in
mental
or
neurological
functioning
from
what
is
typically
considered
the
norm.
That
is
what
he
wants
to
achieve
with

Sitaare
Zameen
Par.

“We
should
also
be
sensitised.
We
should
also
move
forward.
That
topic
of
neurodivergence
should
become
important
for
us
too.
In
our
country
too,
there
should
be
a
public
discourse
on
it:
What
is
neurotypical
and
how
should
we
behave?
This
is
a
very
important
topic
for
India.
I’m
very
clear
I
have
done
the
right
thing.”

R
S
Prasanna’s

Sitaare
Zameen
Par
features
Aamir
as
Gulshan,
an
assistant
coach
of
a
basketball
team.
After
being
fired
from
his
job,
he
is
ordered
to
either
go
to
jail
or
do
90
days
of
community
service
by
becoming
the
coach
of
a
team
of
specially-abled
basketball
players.

The
movie,
which
releases
June
20,
comes
three
years
after

Laal
Singh
Chaddha
that
tanked
at
the
box
office
when
it
was
released
in
theatres
in
August
2022.

At
the
time,
the
movie
faced
calls
for
boycott
on
social
media
with
hashtags
#boycottlaalsinghchaddha
and
#boycottbollywood
trending
on
X.

‘You
work
so
hard,
and
then
a
person
is
saying
something
wrong
just
because
of
negativity.
He
has
neither
seen
the
film
nor
does
he
know
about
the
topic.
Whatever
you
say,
that
person
will
speak
negatively.
That
is
the
meaning
of
trolling,’
he
says.

But
the
actor
dismissed
the
notion
that
online
trolling
has
an
effect
on
a
movie’s
box
office
performance.

‘People
think

Laal
Singh
Chadha
didn’t
work
because
of
trolling.
They
are
wrong.
Imagine
if
the
same
trolling
was
there
during

3
Idiots,
what
do
you
think
would
have
happened?
Then
the
trolling
doesn’t
work.
Why?
Because
the
film
is
good.’

‘Laal
Singh
Chaddha
couldn’t
touch
the
hearts
of
people.
If

Dangal
had
released
in
its
place,
it
would
have
been
a
superhit.
So
trolling
didn’t
make
a
difference.
The
film
was
weak,
so
it
couldn’t
sustain.
If
the
film
was
good,
it
would
have
gone
up.
I’m
not
disturbed
by
trolling.

‘I
want
to
listen
to
the
real
audience.
They
see
your
work
and
either
like
it
or
don’t.
They
will
say
it
from
their
heart.
So
I’m
bothered
by
the
reactions
of
the
real
audience
for
whom
I
make
films.
I
don’t
care
about
trolls.’
