The actor has been meetingvarious directors and has zeroed down on a few of them.
Our sourcesaid, “Aamir had quite a few scripts to read. His last film 3 Idiots brokeall box-office records and collected over 425 crore. Even the collection forDabangg (240 crore) was neck to neck with Aamir’s Ghajini (235 crore). Anyother actor in Aamir’s place would have signed multiple films after thesuccess of 3 Idiots.
However, Aamir got busy with his production venture Peepli Live. Over 10 months after the release of 3 Idiots, he’ll sign his next.”
Grapevine has it that everyone including thecorporates and single producers are keen to know which film he will choose tosign next, as that one will automatically become the biggest film for the comingyear.
Recently, people in and around Aamir’s locality have spotted filmmakers like Anuraag Kashyap,
Rajkumar Santoshi, Aditya Chopra and John Matthew Matthan entering his house and exiting only late in the night. So, these are the people with whom Aamir may sign his next.
Moreover, wehear, for the past 20 days, Aamir has stopped socialising with others. Hedoesn’t step out of his house and has been using most of his time to readscripts.
Apparently, he has not visited his office for a while nowand all his other work has been put on the backburner.
The source added, “Everyone is aware that Aditya Chopra is keen to sign Aamir for Dhoom 3 and that
Anurag Kashyap is talking to him for Bombay Velvet.
John Matthew Matthan has been having discussions with theactor on Sarfarosh 2 and Rajkumar Santoshi too has a completely different scriptplanned for him. There are other scripts as well but at the moment, Aamir wantsto concentrate on these ones.”
