AAMIR KHAN TO BECOME KISHORE KUMAR? ANURAG BASU PLANS MEGA BIOPIC

AAMIR KHAN APPROACHED BY ANURAG BASU FOR PLAYING THE LEAD IN KISHORE KUMAR BIOPIC

• Although Aamir Khan is yet to make an appearance on the silver screen after Laal Singh Chaddha, it is a known fact that the superstar is working on the sequel to Taare Zameen Par titled Sitaare Zameen Par, in which he is expected to play a key role.
• Amid all the shooting and production, the actor is reportedly keen on exploring other scripts and is in search of the right scripts for his upcoming ventures.
• The recent script that he is interested in is the Kishore Kumar biopic by Anurag Basu.

THE RUMOUR SURROUNDING THE KISHORE KUMAR BIOPIC

• A lot has been written about the Kishore Kumar biopic in the past where many reports suggested that Anurag Basu in keen on reuniting with Barfi actor Ranbir Kapoor for the film.
• While until last year, the latter claimed that his friend-filmmaker is writing the script, it has now been reported that Anurag Basu has approached Aamir Khan for the same and that Aamir has also shown interest in it.
• “The Kishore Kumar biopic is a subject close to the heart of Anurag Basu and Bhushan Kumar and they are looking to bring it to the spectacle in the best possible way. Aamir Khan is also a big admirer of Kishore Kumar and loved the vision that Basu has to bring the life of legend to the spectacle. The filmmaker has treated it very differently, and that’s what has fascinated Aamir the most,” a source was quoted saying it in the report.
• Meanwhile, sources have also mentioned that Aamir Khan is reading as many as six scripts as of now but will be finalizing three, based on whatever is feasible to his schedule of doing one film at a time.
• “Aamir has taken as many as 6 films in consideration, and every film is in different stages of development. While the script of Kishore Kumar Biopic, Ujjwal Nikam Biopic, and Rajkumar Santoshi’s comedy is locked, Ghajini 2, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s next, and Zoya Akhtar’s next are in the development stage,” the source added.
• Anurag Basu, who will be beginning work on the Kartik Aryan – Tripti DImri starrer untitled drama, is expected to wrap up the same. And if all goes well, it has been learnt that he will have started work on the Kishore Kumar biopic.

Editor’s Note

• Editor’s note The possibility of Aamir Khan embodying Kishore Kumar goes beyond a mere casting coup — it’s the meeting of two timeless storytellers. Kishore Kumar wasn’t just a voice; he was a phenomenon who redefined versatility in Indian cinema. And Aamir Khan, known for his perfectionism and emotional depth, could be the only actor capable of doing justice to such a complex genius. Anurag Basu’s long-nurtured dream of translating Kishore’s life into cinema reflects not just artistic ambition but reverence for an era when melody, madness, and meaning intertwined seamlessly. If this project takes flight, it won’t just be a film — it’ll be a celebration of creative chaos, nostalgia, and the enduring soul of Indian music.
