In a shocking update for Bollywood and South cinema fans, the much-anticipated superhero collaboration between Aamir Khan and Lokesh Kanagaraj has officially been shelved.
Why Was the Aamir–Lokesh Film Shelved?

As of now, the superhero film stands stalled, leaving fans disappointed who were excited about this massive Bollywood–Kollywood crossover.
