Bollywood Meets LCU: A Powerful Collaboration in the Making
Lokesh Kanagaraj, who is widely regarded for redefining South Indian action cinema with hits like Kaithi, Master, and the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), is now venturing into Bollywood territory with none other than Aamir Khan. This collaboration not only signifies a genre leap for Aamir but also promises to raise the bar for superhero and action films in Indian cinema.
The announcement has already sparked wild speculation across social media, with fans predicting whether the film will tie into Lokesh’s existing cinematic universe or chart an entirely new superhero mythos altogether.
Aamir Khan Denies PK2 Rumours
Aamir also addressed the buzz around a potential PK sequel, firmly shutting down the speculation. “There’s no PK2. These are just rumours. Raju and I are working on a Dadasaheb Phalke biopic. That’s what we’re focused on right now,” he clarified.
The confirmation of a biopic on the father of Indian cinema, Dadasaheb Phalke, adds another ambitious title to Aamir’s upcoming lineup. This marks another reunion with Rajkumar Hirani, known for crafting emotionally compelling narratives, making it one of the most awaited biopics of the coming years.

Aamir also expressed his continuing desire to bring the Indian epic “Mahabharat” to life on screen. “Mahabharat is still my dream project. But it’s massive. I don’t want to rush it. It has to be done right, with time, research, and heart.”
The actor’s plans for Mahabharat have been under speculation for years, with many believing it could be a web series or multi-film project. Although there’s no confirmed timeline, Aamir’s remarks suggest he still intends to pursue it, but only when the time is right.
Next in Line: Sitare Zameen Par with Genelia Deshmukh
Before embarking on these ambitious new ventures, Aamir Khan will first grace the screen with his upcoming film “Sitaare Zameen Par.” The film, which also stars Genelia Deshmukh, is slated to release on June 20, 2025. Fans eagerly await this production, which is expected to carry a social message, reminiscent of his previous hit “Taare Zameen Par.”
The announcement of Aamir Khan’s superhero film with Lokesh Kanagaraj instantly becomes one of the most anticipated projects in Indian cinema. This collaboration, along with his other confirmed and dreamed-of ventures, solidifies Aamir Khan’s position as an artist constantly seeking to push boundaries and deliver diverse, impactful stories to his global audience.
