Rumours are rife that Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle has approached Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan for his next venture.

Boyle first expressed a desire to work with Aamir during the premiere of 'Slumdog Millionaire' in India and now he has approached him to work in his prospective film, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

While Aamir was out of the country for a break with his kids, his chance return to Mumbai resulted in Boyle calling on the 'Lagaan' actor to discuss a new project before hosting a party for his 'Slumdog' team there.

The 'Trainspotting' director was in Mumbai to help rescue Azharuddin Ismail Shaikh and Rubina Ali, the child stars of his movie 'Slumdog Millionaire', after authorities razed their shanties rendering them homeless.
