In a development that is sure to excite Bollywood enthusiasts, superstar Aamir Khan and acclaimed filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani are reportedly in advanced discussions to collaborate on a new slice-of-life film. This potential project marks a reunion for the dynamic duo after a gap of 11 years, their last cinematic offering being the blockbuster PK in 2014.
According to a recent report by Pinkvilla, the idea for this fresh venture took shape after Rajkumar Hirani explored several concepts. Sources close to the development suggest that Hirani has zeroed in on a subject that deeply resonated with Aamir Khan. “Rajkumar Hirani was toying with 3 ideas, and he has finally decided to move ahead with a subject. He discussed the same with Aamir Khan, and the actor has also loved the world that Raju is developing,” a source revealed.
The yet-to-be-titled film is envisioned as a heartwarming narrative rooted in the realities of life, infused with Hirani’s signature blend of comedy and inspirational elements. The source further added, “It’s a slice-of-life film, with comedy and elements of inspiration. Aamir is kicked about the subject, as it also pushes the actor in him.”
If all goes as planned, the film is expected to go on floors in 2026, making it Hirani’s next directorial venture after his recent film Dunki. Currently, Hirani is reportedly occupied with wrapping up his web series before fully dedicating his attention to this exciting collaboration with Aamir Khan.
The partnership of Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani has historically delivered cinematic gems that have not only achieved remarkable commercial success but have also left an indelible mark on audiences. Their previous collaborations, 3 Idiots (2009) and PK (2014), stand as testaments to their ability to blend entertainment with meaningful social commentary. 3 Idiots became a cultural phenomenon, celebrated for its insightful portrayal of the education system, while PK sparked conversations with its satirical take on religious dogmatism.
Aamir Khan is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual sequel to his critically acclaimed 2007 film Taare Zameen Par. Directed by R.S. Prasanna and also starring Genelia Deshmukh, the film is slated to hit theaters on June 20, 2025, and is expected to explore themes of education and personal growth with a touch of humor.
While the discussions between Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani are in advanced stages, further details about the cast, crew, and specific storyline of their potential collaboration are still under wraps. It is anticipated that more information will surface after the release of Sitaare Zameen Par.
Interestingly, Rajkumar Hirani was also in talks for separate projects with actors Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. However, scheduling conflicts reportedly put those collaborations on hold. The source mentioned that Hirani intends to revisit those projects in the near future.
The prospect of Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani joining forces once again has already generated considerable excitement among fans and industry insiders. Their unique storytelling sensibilities and ability to connect with a wide audience make this potential reunion one of the most anticipated cinematic events in the coming years. Bollywood enthusiasts eagerly await official confirmation and further details about this promising slice-of-life film.
