The buzz around Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan’s much-hyped superhero project with director Lokesh Kanagaraj has taken a new turn, with reports suggesting the film may have been shelved or at least delayed. Lokesh, whose recent release Coolie failed to deliver at the box office, was initially expected to move forward with Kaithi 2. However, industry talk now indicates that he is instead prioritizing his acting debut and an ambitious multistarrer starring Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth.

The speculation picked up momentum after Kamal Haasan himself confirmed his collaboration with Rajinikanth under Lokesh’s direction. Since then, social media chatter has hinted that the Aamir Khan superhero venture might no longer be on the immediate schedule. Neither Aamir nor Lokesh has issued any statement regarding the project, even during promotional events for Coolie. Fans are left guessing whether the film is completely off the table or simply on pause.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s shift in focus has raised questions about his slate of projects, including Kaithi 2 and the proposed Aamir Khan film. Meanwhile, Aamir Khan, who has been selective about his roles after the mixed reception to his recent cameo, may need to reconsider his future lineup. For now, the director’s attention seems locked on bringing two of Indian cinema’s biggest legends, Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth, together in one project a move that could redefine his career trajectory.

While nothing has been officially confirmed, the uncertainty surrounding the Aamir Khan superhero film has disappointed fans who were excited to see the actor in a new avatar. If Lokesh or Aamir confirm the status in the coming weeks, it will settle the speculation. Until then, the buzz continues to swirl in film circles and among netizens alike.
