Aamir Khan has been in the news recently for his upcoming production, Dangal, which rolls in September. The sports biopic, helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, will feature Aamir Khan as a retired wrestler from Haryana, modelled on Mahavir Singh, who trains his two young daughters Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari to national and international glory.

Now, Mirror has learnt that another Aamir Khan production, still untitled, is likely to go on the floors later this year. This one will mark the directorial debut of Advait Chandan, the actor's former manager. Advait who was handling Aamir's work for five years and simultaneously developing a script, recently narrated the story to his boss who was completely bowled over.

Says a source close to the development, "It's a beautiful story of an adolescent girl who aspires to become a singer. The casting is currently on. They are looking for a new face, a girl who knows how to sing, because the film will require her to be comfortable in front of the mic."

The source adds that Advait has been relieved of all his responsibilities so he can concentrate on his film: "Aamir has now got himself a new manager by the name of Shamath." Earlier, in an interview to Mirror (March 4), when quizzed on whether he is producing any other film besides Dangal, Aamir had said, "We've liked one other script by a young director."
