Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, once known for delivering record-breaking hits, seems to be going through a challenging phase at the box office. While his performances continue to receive praise, his recent films have failed to recreate the global success he enjoyed a decade ago. Now, the actor has reportedly walked out of yet another major project — this time with renowned South Indian director Vamsi Paidipally.

According to industry reports, Aamir had been in talks to collaborate with Varisu director Vamsi Paidipally for nearly two years. The project was expected to mark an interesting North-South collaboration, with pre-production work already underway. However, sources now claim that Aamir has exited the project, causing a delay in the film’s official announcement.

Following Aamir’s departure, reports suggest that director Vamsi has now approached Salman Khan to take over the lead role. Although there hasn’t been an official confirmation from either camp, speculation is strong that Salman may step in to headline the big-budget project.
