Lokesh–Aamir’s superhero film sparks shelving rumours

A high-profile superhero film bringing together actor Aamir Khan and director Lokesh Kanagaraj has become the subject of shelving rumours, raising questions about the future of one of India’s most anticipated projects.

The film, which was confirmed earlier this year by Aamir Khan, was expected to roll out in the second half of 2026 as Lokesh’s Bollywood debut. Touted as a massive action entertainer with a global appeal, the project had quickly gained hype given Lokesh’s successful run with Kaithi , Vikram , and Leo .

However, recent reports suggest the project may have been shelved or indefinitely postponed. Speculation links this uncertainty to the backlash surrounding Aamir Khan’s cameo in Coolie , though no official statement has been released to confirm such claims.

As of now, neither Aamir Khan nor Lokesh Kanagaraj has addressed the rumours, leaving fans and industry watchers awaiting clarity. If revived, the project could mark a groundbreaking collaboration between Bollywood and Tamil cinema, but until then, its status remains in limbo.
