Socially boycotted actress finds strong supporter in Aamir Khan

All of Bollywood has not socially boycotted Kangana Ranaut. The actress still has supporters if not friends and need not feel isolated in the industry after the Hrithik Roshan incident. Buzz is that one of the controversial actress’ strongest allies is Aamir Khan. At the height of the Hrithik drama, Aamir invited Kangana for a special screening of his film Secret Superstar in September much to everybody’s surprise. Now, according to PeepingMoon.com sources, the actor has reportedly recommended Kangana’s name for a film he was approached with.

The story goes that Aamir was given a script which he really liked. What caught his fancy especially was the female lead’s characterization. Kangana came to his mind for the role and Aamir immediately recommended the actress to the director who approached him. When Aamir read the script, he was said to be bowled over with the character and right away believed that Kangana would do justice to the role. Not surprisingly, the filmmakers are taking Aamir’s suggestion seriously and planning to take their script to the actress.

At the time, it is not known if Aamir himself will accept the film… with or without Kangana. The actor is busy shooting for Yash Raj Films’ Thugs of Hindostan. He was to take up Mahesh Mathai’s Salute after this and co-produced it with Siddharth Roy Kapur. But, this biopic on cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma who was the first Indian to fly into space is not happening. So, technically, Aamir has no film in hand after Thugs of Hindostan.

Industry sources are waiting to see whether Kangana takes up the film recommended by Aamir. And whether the actor chooses to do it himself. Kangana is known to only do projects that showcase her as the “hero”. She has gone on record to say she will not play second fiddle to anyone, not even the Bollywood Khans if she is offered a film with them. What happens now is what is intriguing trade sources. Kangana had reportedly turned down Thugs of Hindostan with Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan when Aditya Chopra approached her. She was said to be the first choice for Katrina Kaif’s role. But Kangana felt she wouldn’t have much to do in the film with Aamir and the Big B in it. Will she take Aamir’s suggestion seriously? Wait and watch this space.
