Reports indicate that Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is in talks to portray the iconic singer-actor Kishore Kumar in an upcoming biopic directed by Anurag Basu. This highly anticipated project has been a passion project for both Basu and producer Bhushan Kumar, who aim to bring Kishore Kumar's remarkable life to the big screen in an authentic manner.

While earlier rumors suggested that Ranbir Kapoor was initially considered for the role, there has been no official confirmation regarding that. With Aamir Khan now involved, excitement surrounding the project has intensified.

According to a report from Pinkvilla, a source revealed, “Aamir Khan is a huge admirer of Kishore Kumar and was captivated by Basu's vision for the film. The filmmaker's unique approach has truly fascinated Aamir.” Several meetings between Khan and Basu have taken place, and the discussions appear to be progressing well, leading to expectations of an official announcement soon.

Known for being selective with his roles, Aamir Khan is currently juggling six potential projects at various stages of development. These include the Kishore Kumar biopic, a biopic on lawyer Ujjwal Nikam, a comedy directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, a sequel to Ghajini, and collaborations with directors Lokesh Kanagaraj and Zoya Akhtar.

The source further noted, “Aamir has expressed interest in all the scripts and plans to make a decision on his immediate next project by the end of the year. He is likely to commit to three films out of the six, while the other three may be set aside.”

Meanwhile, Anurag Basu is busy with his current love story featuring Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri, which is expected to wrap up by April 2025. After completing this project, he will likely turn his focus to the Kishore Kumar biopic, raising anticipation for this exciting collaboration.

In addition to the biopic discussions, Aamir Khan has "Sitaare Zameen Par" in the works, a film that fans are eagerly looking forward to. It will be interesting to see which of his six potential projects he decides to pursue next, with the Kishore Kumar biopic emerging as a strong candidate.

While an official announcement is still pending, the prospect of Aamir Khan portraying Kishore Kumar has already generated significant curiosity and excitement throughout Bollywood, promising a biopic that could honor one of India’s greatest entertainment legends.
