Aamir Khan on his birthday announced his next - Lal Singh Chaddha. The actor whose last release Thugs Of Hindostan was a big flop shared he would like to essay Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in a movie.

Aamir revealed, "I really want to play Shivaji. I look like him."

"Its a good thing that historical films are being made. History is a strange subject, depends on who writes it. I will suggest, one should go deeper, dig more and get more point of views before locking a script," said he when quizzed about historical films.

Interestingly Riteish Deshmuh is making a mega Marathi movie on Shivaji which will come out next year and Riteish would be seen playing the titular role. Quite similar on the lines, Ajay Devgn would be seen playing the titular role of Subedar Tanaji Malusare - a commander in Shivaji Maharaj's Maratha army in a film Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior.
