Aamir Khan to star with Kate Winslet?

Samsara director Pan Nalin has lined up Aamir Khan and Kate Winslet to star in his forthcoming partition film, according to reports.

The duo have apparently been offered roles in an international film based on Saadat Hasan Manto's novel 'Tobe Tek Singh'.

Khan will reportedly play a character who is institutionalised in a mental asylum in 1947.

Nalin plans to cast Winslet in the role of a psychologist, with Rachel Weisz also in consideration for the part.

The director said: "Either Kate or Rachel will be doing my film. I will be meeting both of them after my Cannes trip to finalise the casting. Either of them will be able to do justice to this marvellous story."
