The latest Bollywood buzz state that the Mr. Perfectionist of the industry, actor Aamir Khan is expected to feature in Priyadarshan’s much-awaited film based on AIDS.
While talking to media, the filmmaker said, “The project on AIDS is on, but the script is not yet ready… (I had) too many schedules and things to do so couldn’t finish the script. I had discussed it with Aamir earlier and that time he wanted to do the film.”
Priyadarshan, the 55-year-old director, has been talking about this project since 2009.
Further, reports have said that after the filmmaker will accomplish his ongoing project, ‘Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal’, Priyadarshan would start work on the untitled AIDS film. Meanwhile, it is also said that the will be without songs, comedy and free of commercial trappings.
Priyadarshan, the National Award winning director said, “I will complete the script first and approach him (Aamir) again. If he has time he will do it.”
Previously, directors such as Revathy and Onir had tried their hands on the same project (AIDS) in their films ‘Phir Milenge’ (2004) and ‘My Brother Nikhil’ (2005), respectively.
However, the film ‘Phir Milenge’ had a star-studded cast that included Salman Khan, Shilpa Shetty and Abhishek Bachchan, while ‘My Brother Nikhil’ featured Sanjay Suri, Juhi Chawla and Purab Kohli.
Both the films did not work much at the box office, though they received better comments from critics.
