Aamir Khan is going from strength to strength.

After almost all his movies did well in B-Town, he’s all set to make more headaway in the west.

Chances are he might be paired opposite recent Oscar winner Kate Winslet in a film to be directed by Pan Nalin.

The story is reportedly an adaptation of legendary Pakistani playwright Saadat Hasan Manto’s short story ‘Toba Tek Singh’ which speaks about the comic situation inside an Indian mental asylum in 1947, when India and Pakistan were being created.

The buzz is that though nothing’s been confirmed yet, Aamir is already quite excited about the whole thing.

After all he’s turned on by intelligent stuff. Pan has already narrated the script to Aamir impressing him in the process and he’s keen on the movie. That’s how a perfectionist is supposed to behave, it seems.

But work will start only when the bigger star in the scheme of things (well, that’s how it seems) gives a nod. Pan Nalin has kept his option open too.

If Kate opts out then he will rope in ‘The Mummy’ and ‘The Constant Gardener’ actress Rachel Weisz for playing the role of Dr Sophie.

He’s said “Either Kate or Rachel will be doing my film. I will be meeting both of them after my Cannes trip to finalise the casting. Either of them will be able to do justice to this marvelous story.”

If all goes well, Aamir perfection would literally cross the seven seas. Watch this space for more
