Aamir in a movie on AIDS?

Aamir in a film on AIDS?Superstar Aamir Khan is probably going to add in Priyadarshan's much-awaited film in keeping with AIDS.

"The project on AIDS is on, however the script isn't yet ready... (I had) too many schedules and activities so couldn't finish the script. I had discussed it with Aamir earlier and that point he desired to do the film," the director.

The 55-year-old filmmaker have been talking about this project since 2009. It's been learnt that when Priyadarshan wraps up his current project, 'Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal', he would start work at the untitled AIDS film, to be able to be without songs, comedy and freed from commercial trappings.

"I will complete the script first and approach him (Aamir) again. If he has time he'll do it," the National Award winning director said.

Earlier, filmmakers Revathy and Onir had explored this subject (AIDS) of their films 'Phir Milenge' (2004) and `My Brother Nikhil' (2005), respectively.

While 'Phir Milenge' had a star-studded cast that included Salman Khan, Shilpa Shetty and Abhishek Bachchan, 'My Brother Nikhil' featured Sanjay Suri, Juhi Chawla and Purab Kohli. Both films didn't have a successful run on the box office but they received critical acclaim.
