Reports indicate that Aamir Khan is in discussions with a major international OTT platform for his digital debut in an 8-episode limited series based on a real-life incident.
According to industry sources as of January 29, 2026, Sunil Pandey, a long-time associate of Aamir Khan Productions, is the frontrunner to direct the project. Aamir Khan is also expected to produce the series.
The story is said to revolve around a sensitive and impactful true event, potentially tied to a historical or significant social issue. The limited-series format on an international streaming service—likely Netflix or Amazon Prime Video—is expected to allow greater narrative depth and creative freedom.
