Aamir Khan prepares for multi-film production in 2025; Amit Rai joins forces with Ekta Kapoor
In the post-pandemic world, Aamir Khan has been working creatively on multiple subjects, which he wishes to associate with either in the capacity of an actor or a producer. While he prefers to act in one film at a time, the perfectionist has made up his mind to slowly set up his banner, Aamir Khan Productions, as an independent studio. After Laapataa Ladies, his banner is set to bring Pritam Pyaare, Sitaare Zameen Par, Lahore 1947, and Happy Patel to the big screen in the next 18-month period.
Aamir Khan ready to roll as a producer
That’s not all, we have exclusively learnt that Aamir along with his team, are working day and night to get a fresh slate of lineup in place. “Aamir Khan Production has creatively worked together to set up as many as 3 projects, which are ready to roll in the window of October to March. While one of them could feature Aamir Khan himself, there are two others which warrant the presence of other actors,” revealed a source close to the development.
The source further added that Aamir will continue to make high on content films with humor and a subtle social message. “Of course, the Rajkumar Santoshi film that Aamir could act in is an out-and-out comic caper. The writing work is presently in progress and Aamir will take a call on his next acting venture by the end of October, once the final edit of Sitaare Zameen Par is locked,” the source informed, adding further that Rajkumar Santoshi’s next is one of the many films that Aamir is considering for his next.
Talking of Sitaare Zameen Par, the film is presently in the post-production stage and Aamir is expected to test screen it for the viewers soon, before bringing out the assets for a Christmas 2024 release.
