An announcement that stunned Bollywood and South Entertainment
media – Aamir Khan says “Lokesh and I are making a film. This belongs to the superhero genre. It
is a big-scale action film and is going on floors in the second half of 2026.”
, No media house even remotely got near to this announcement as even us down in
Chennai were looking towards Lokesh teaming up with South heroes and there was
not even an hint of a colaboaration. he duo worked together for the first time
for the upcoming Rajinikanth film Coolie, in which Aamir Khan will have a
cameo. We hear
Aamir, who
is famous for cinematic landmarks such as Ghajini, 3 Idiots, PK,
and Dangal, teaming up with director Lokesh Kanagaraj—known
for Kaithi, Master, and Leo—shows a huge
new leap into badged genre filmmaking. Lokesh, who has built a fan-favourite
cinematic universe in Tamil cinema, is stepping into Hindi cinema with a clear
vision of building his own brand of mass storytelling.
The
still-untitled superhero/action hybrid film that is in the early stages appears
to be conceived as a pan-India spectacle at a scale unlike any of Aamir’s
previous projects.
The film,
whose title has yet to be revealed, is slated to begin production in the second
half of 2026, after Aamir has finished filming Rajkumar Hirani’s biopic of
Dadasaheb Phalke.
For now,
fans can look forward to seeing Aamir Khan in Sitaare Zameen Par this
month. The movie is a remake of the Spanish film Campeones. Aamir Khan plays a
disgraced basketball coach who is ordered to train a team of people on the
spectrum by the court after he is arrested for drunk driving.
Box
Office Worldwide Verdict
Aamir Khan‘s formal
entry in the superhero genre does so under Lokesh Kanagaraj, who will bring his
own mighty, gritty lens—one of the most exciting gambles to take by an Indian
filmmaker in 2026.
PK 2 is off the table, but the
announcement of Dadasaheb Phalke,
followed by the announcement of a superhero of the epic kind, wraps a
well-overdue signal of a new reinvigorated Aamir.
This is not
just about stunts or celebrity — it is the ambitions of the narrative that
seeks to redraw the legacies of mainstream Indian cinema. And if Sitaare
Zameen Par is merely an emotional return, then this superhero film is
likely an unlikely spectacular reinvention.
Aamir is
back, and he is future ready.
