Aamir Khan and Kangana Ranaut have immense respect for each other and have quite a few things in common too. The two have similar sensibilities when it comes to cinema and stay away from Bollywood award functions. The two have often expressed their admiration for each other’s works but are yet to pair up on screen. However, a picture of the two along with producer Kamal Jain started circulating on the internet on Monday, it led to rumours that the ace actors might team up for a film. In fact, Jain, who is producing Ranaut's Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi revealed that a possible collaboration could happen.

Aamir and Kangana have never shied away from praising each other and the former even spoke about the latter’s acting in a talk show saying that he was impressed with her calibre. If the two actors come together on the silver screen then it will be a major coup of sorts for any filmmaker. He is the perfectionist and she is often called his female counterpart. There were all sorts of speculation as what was the meeting about? Were they starring in a film together? Did Kangana showed him parts of her upcoming film or did they discuss promotional strategies?

Jain revealed, “The meeting was regarding a collaboration that is in the works. It was a positive meeting. We had a long discussion, and are hopeful that something more fruitful comes of it.” It is being speculated that the two actors discussed the Arunima Sinha biopic. “The film was originally expected to be backed by Farhan Akhtar but was later acquired by DAR Motion Pictures. Given its compelling storyline, it won't be surprising if Aamir Khan also comes on board as producer." However, Jain did not confirm anything whether Khan might get involved in the film that traces the journey of the first female amputee to have scaled the Mout Everest. He said, “When things are finalized, we will make an announcement. For now, we are in the process of putting things together. I can't divulge any further details on the project.”

Aamir has had a successful stint in the Chinese market as his films PK and Dangal became superhits in the country. It is believed that Kangana is also keen on releasing Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi in China and wanted to take some tips from Aamir. A source said, “Kamal and Kangana are keen to release the Rani Laxmibai biopic in China. They had gone to seek advice from Aamir on the subject. Since Aamir has cracked the Chinese market with his string of hits, his feedback is important to the film's strategy."
