Aamir Khan to Team Up with Vamshi Paidipally and Lokesh Kanagaraj

After the mixed reception of Laal Singh Chaddha, Aamir Khan appears to be shifting his focus towards South Indian directors for future collaborations. In a surprising move, the Bollywood superstar has agreed to take on a special role in Rajinikanth’s Coolie. There’s also growing speculation that Aamir will team up with director Lokesh Kanagaraj for a full-length superhero film.

Sources from Chennai suggest that the two have already found common ground on a project, though Lokesh is currently tied up with Coolie and will move on to Kaithi 2 next. As a result, if Aamir gives his nod, this collaboration may take time to materialize.

However, the real buzz surrounds Tollywood director Vamshi Paidipally. After the commercial success of Varisu in 2023, Vamshi has been relatively quiet, with his previous film facing criticism for its predictable storyline. This has led to delays in locking a big star for his next project.

Now, the latest reports suggest that Vamshi is working on a script for Aamir Khan. The actor is reportedly intrigued but will give the final green light only if the script impresses him. If this collaboration goes through, it would be a major win for Vamshi, whose films like Brindavanam, Yevadu, Oopiri, and Maharshi have been successful at the box office. Vijay’s quick agreement to Varisu is a testament to his storytelling appeal.

Sources also reveal that Mythri Movie Makers is facilitating this potential partnership. While it’s not unusual for star heroes to take their time between projects, it’s surprising that an established director like Vamshi is taking longer than expected to start his next film.
