Aamir Khan has reportedly been offered a biopic about Kishore Kumar, directed by Anurag Basu. The actor and filmmaker have had four to five meetings regarding the project for producer Bhushan Kumar. The biopic holds significant importance for both Anurag and Bhushan, who aim to present it in a grand manner. Aamir, a longtime admirer of Kishore Kumar, is excited about Basu's unique vision for showcasing the legendary singer's life, which has particularly intrigued him.
According to PinkVilla, "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."
Itadded, "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. Aamir has liked all the films, and will take a call on his immediate next by the end of this year. Of the 6 films, he will do three for sure in different timelines and might let go of the other three."
