Lokesh Kanagaraj Taking Revenge On SRK?

This rumor about Aamir Khan and Lokesh Kanagaraj teaming up for a pan-Indian project is creating quite a buzz in the film industry.

The combination of Aamir with one of the top South Indian filmmakers known for creating action-packed universes like the LCU is seen as a potential game-changer.

If this collaboration, backed by Mythri Movies (producers of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2), happens, it could unite Bollywood, Tollywood, and Kollywood in one of Indian cinema’s biggest associations.

Aamir Khan has been out of the limelight since his last release, Laal Singh Chaddha, flopped badly at the box office in 2022.

With contemporaries like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan working on major South Indian collaborations, Aamir’s comeback with Lokesh Kanagaraj could be his ticket back to box-office glory.

Rumors even suggest that the script Aamir is interested in was originally offered to Shah Rukh Khan by Lokesh, who passed on it, just like he did with 3 Idiots and Dhoom 3—both films that Aamir accepted which went on to become massive hits.

This twist raises the question: Could Lokesh be subtly taking revenge on SRK by handing the project to his rival, Aamir Khan? The rivalry angle certainly adds an intriguing layer to this potential collaboration.

Whether this Aamir-Lokesh film joins the LCU or stands alone, isn’t known yet. The release, however, isn’t expected until late 2026 or early 2027.
