We’ll begin shooting in the second half of 2026.” He clearly stated that he would reveal more once the film moves closer to production.

When asked about PK 2, Aamir quickly dismissed the speculation. He said, “PK 2 is just a rumour.

Aamir also shared that he has dreamed of making the Mahabharat for the past 25 years. He explained, “Making Mahabharat is not like making a regular film. It’s a spiritual journey, a yagna.

Sitaare Zameen Par to Hit Theatres on June 20, 2025

Aamir will next appear in Sitaare Zameen Par, which releases in theatres on June 20, 2025. Reports suggest that Aamir wants to skip OTT platforms and opt for a pay-per-view release model instead. In this model, audiences pay to watch specific films directly, similar to buying individual movie tickets. Aamir believes this system encourages theatre viewing and supports the big-screen experience.

With Sitaare Zameen Par releasing in 2025, the superhero project with Lokesh starting in 2026, and the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic in the pipeline, Aamir Khan has laid out a focused comeback strategy with big, meaningful cinema.
