MUMBAI: Nearly two years after he signed 3 Idiots and ten months after its release, Aamir Khan has signed a suspense thriller that he will also co-produce. It will be directed by Reema Kagti who had earlier helmed Honeymoon Travels Private Limited.

Confirming the news, Khan said, “I’ve said yes to Reema’s film. I’m really excited and hope to start shooting in February.” The yet untitled film will have two heroines opposite Khan.

The pre-production of the film, set in India, will start early December. The makers intend to release the film in Christmas next year.

On being asked how she managed to get a nod from the actor, Kagti avers, “I thank my lucky stars that Aamir liked our script. We had approached him some months ago and are really glad that he’s agreed.”

Earlier Kagti was an assistant to Ashutosh Gowariker while he was making Lagaan.
