Even as Aamir Khan is preparing for the next schedule of his upcoming film Dangal, highly placed sources say the actor will also be seen in his ex-manager Advait Chandan’s film.

Advait, who handled Aamir’s work for five years and shared a great working relationship with the actor is all set to make his directorial debut. Earlier, he was the first assistant on Kiran Rao’s film. Says the source, “Advait is developing the script, but when he narrated the story to Aamir he fell in love with the subject so much so that the actor is all set to produce the film under his banner — Aamir Khan Production.” The source adds that Aamir wanted to do this for his assistant. While everything else is hush-hush this is an important part. The film which is yet-to-be-titled is likely to go on floors later this year.

The story is about an adolescent girl who aspires to be a singer. The cast has not yet been finalised, and the hunt for the lead actors in still on. They are looking for a fresh face and someone who can sing as well, as the film will require her to be comfortable while she lip syncs.
