Aamir Khan in next Danny Boyle film?

Aamir Khan has reportedly been approached by Danny Boyle to star in the Slumdog Millionaire director’s next feature.

Boyle was in India to rescue the film’s young stars Rubina Ali and Azhauddin Mohammed Ismail, after their eviction from their shanty town home. Khan had returned to Mumbai for a short stay, following a vacation in the US.

The director reportedly had a short meeting with the actor, before hosting a party for the Slumdog Millionaire cast. Boyle allegedly first met Khan during the Slumdog premiere in India.

Khan is best known for his role in Lagaan, only the third Bollywood film to have been nominated for an Oscar. He is rumoured to be starring alongside Kate Winslet in Pan Nalin's forthcoming partition film.
