Aamir Khan confirms his superhero film with Lokesh Kanagaraj will begin after Kaithi 2, likely by August-September 2026. Aamir Khan, known for guarding his upcoming projects with utmost secrecy, has finally offered a rare update on one of his most anticipated collaborations. While promoting his upcoming release Sitaare Zameen Par, the superstar revealed key details about his big-scale superhero film with Tamil filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj. In a conversation with Just Too Filmy, Aamir said, 'Lokesh and I are doing a film together. Ye film agle saal banegi. He is right now going to shoot Kaithi. So, next year, August-September we will start." This puts the expected shoot schedule for the project in the latter half of 2026. The actor had earlier shared with media in a closed-door interaction that the project is a full-fledged superhero film. 'Lokesh and I are doing a film together. It's a superhero film — a big-scale action outing. The film will begin in the second half of 2026. We have both signed it. I cannot reveal anything further," he had said. Fans are naturally thrilled at the prospect of two powerhouse talents joining hands. Lokesh Kanagaraj has carved a niche for himself with gripping action dramas like Kaithi, Master, and Vikram. His distinct narrative style and flair for intense action sequences make this team-up with Aamir Khan especially exciting. Meanwhile, Aamir is gearing up for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par. The film, which explores themes close to his heart, will follow an unconventional release strategy. A Pinkvilla report suggests that Sitaare Zameen Par will initially release on approximately 1,250 screens.

'Blouse tight silna...': Hema Malini demanded this during Baghban to enhance chemistry with Amitabh Bachchan, said 'that touch...'
The audience thoroughly enjoyed the on-screen chemistry between Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini in Baghban. Their powerful performances earned widespread praise, and the duo was honoured with the Screen Award for Jodi No. 1. Both Bachchan and Malini also received nominations for Best Actor and Best Actress at the 49th Filmfare Awards. Both actors brought life to their characters in this film. Released in 2003, Hema and Amitabh played the role of parents of four children. Amitabh Bachchan's character was Raj Malhotra, and Hema played the role of Pooja Malhotra. Filmmaker Ravi Chopra's wife, Renu Chopra, recently shared an anecdote. She said that Hema was wholeheartedly attached to the project and was completely immersed in the character of Pooja. She even improvised in many scenes. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Renuka spoke about various aspects of the film. She also revealed how Hema Malini requested to have her blouse stitched much tighter than usual. Renuka explained that in one of the scenes where Amitabh Bachchan had to fasten Hema's blouse, the veteran actress wanted a certain look on her face to deliver the best emotional impact. During the conversation, Renuka said, 'There was a scene where she was getting ready, standing in front of a mirror. At that time, Raj comes from behind and, upon seeing her, says, 'Wow.' Hema asked me to stitch her blouse a bit tighter so that when Amit ji comes, he can fasten it tightly. She said, 'That touch would give me the look I want'—one that conveyed, 'He's touched me. After so many years of being married, it meant so much.' She is a very romantic person in real life.' Let us tell you, Pooja Malhotra's role was first offered to Tabu, but she refused because she was only 36 years old at that time and did not want to play the role of a mother of 4 children. Later, she worked with Amitabh Bachchan in 'Cheeni Kum'. Baghban also had a cameo by Salman Khan and Mahima Chaudhary. Salman's role was added especially for distributors so that the film could find a buyer. The film had a slow start, but word of mouth publicity changed its fortunes, and it became a superhit. The movie, made in Rs 10 crore, earned Rs 43.11 crore.
