The Indian film industry is abuzz with exciting projects as the three mighty Khans—Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan—gear up for their next big screen ventures. Despite the industry’s rebuilding phase, these superstars continue to dominate with their influential presence and high demand among directors and producers. Let’s dive into the latest developments surrounding their upcoming projects.
Aamir Khan’s Comic Quest: Collaborations with Rajkumar Santoshi and Zoya Akhtar
Aamir Khan Eyes the Comedy Genre
Aamir Khan, known for his versatile acting skills and thought-provoking films, is set to explore the comedy genre once again. Currently, Aamir is shooting for “Sitara Zameen Par,” a social dramedy, but he has his sights set on an out-and-out comic caper as his next project. According to industry insiders, Aamir is considering two promising scripts filled with humor.
Collaborations with Renowned Directors
Aamir is in talks with two acclaimed directors for his comedy venture. The first is Rajkumar Santoshi, who is currently directing “Lahore: 1947” for Aamir Khan Productions. Santoshi’s situational comedy promises to bring plenty of laughs. The second script is a slice-of-life comedy by Zoya Akhtar, revolving around a middle-aged man. If all goes well, Aamir Khan’s fans can look forward to seeing him in a hilarious avatar soon after “Sitara Zameen Par” wraps up.
Salman Khan’s Heroic Turn in “Sikandar”
AR Murugadoss Directs a Raw Action Thriller
Salman Khan is set to bring his signature style and charisma to the big screen with “Sikandar,” directed by AR Murugadoss. The film, slated to start shooting on June 18 in Mumbai, promises a thrilling mid-air action sequence to kick off the project. This film marks one of the fastest sign-ons for Salman, who was captivated by the raw and gritty nature of the subject.
Capturing Salman’s On-Screen Arrogance
“Sikandar” will showcase Salman Khan in a role that capitalizes on his effortless arrogance and heroic persona. The character is portrayed as a true Sikandar, hailing from a family of kings and exhibiting traits of anger and arrogance. This “bad boy” space, last seen in “Sultan,” will be revisited in “Sikandar,” with ample scope for strong emotions and a performance-driven narrative. Scheduled for an Eid 2025 release, the film promises to be a treat for Salman Khan’s fans who love to see him in powerful, commanding roles.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Grand Action Thriller “King”
SRK and Siddharth Anand’s High-Octane Collaboration
Shah Rukh Khan, known for his larger-than-life screen presence, is gearing up for “King,” an action thriller directed by Siddharth Anand. The film is being meticulously planned, with SRK heavily involved in the pre-production process to ensure it becomes one of the biggest action thrillers of the year. “King” is expected to feature lavishly mounted action scenes that will captivate audiences.
Launching Suhana Khan
A significant aspect of “King” is its role as a launch vehicle for Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan. SRK is going all out to make sure the film serves as a perfect introduction to Suhana’s acting career. The script is shaping up well, with inputs from both Siddharth Anand and SRK to enhance the action sequences.
