Aamir Khan to star in Kishore Kumar's biopic?

Previously, Pinkvilla quoted a source saying, “The Kishore Kumar biopic is a project close to the hearts of Anurag Basu and Bhushan Kumar. Aamir is a big admirer of Kishore Kumar and loved Basu’s vision for the film. The filmmaker has approached the subject in a very unique way, which has intrigued Aamir.”

The source also added, “Aamir has six films under consideration. While the scripts for the Kishore Kumar biopic, Ujjwal Nikam biopic, and Rajkumar Santoshi’s comedy are locked, 'Ghajini 2', Lokesh Kanagaraj’s next, and Zoya Akhtar’s next are still in development. Out of these six films, he will do three for sure and might drop the other three.”

Efforts to reach Amit Kumar and Anurag Basu for further comments were unsuccessful.
