If everything works out, Aamir Khan might play the role of late singer actor, Kishore Kumar in a movie by Percept Pictures. The company has even gotten a go-ahead from the singer's wife, Leena Chandarvakar.

 

"I am a great fan of Kishore Kumar and if I love the script, I will surely do it," Aamir said.

 

He however added that he was too busy to read the script. The actor is promoting his latest film, Ghajni, which is slated for December 25.

 

"I

have not seen the script yet because of my busy schedule. I also have to prepare for Taare Zameen Par's marketing strategy for the Oscars early next year," Aamir added.

 

Kishore Kumar's rise has been one of the most dramatic in the film industry. He alongwith another great singer, Mohammad Rafi, ruled the golden era [50s to 70s] of the film industry.

 

He also acted in several Hindi films and is known for his comic roles in films like Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and many others.
