MUMBAI: Danis Tanovic, whose No Man‘s Land was pitted against Aamir Khan‘s Lagaan and Audrey Tautou‘s Amélie in the nomination for an Academy Award in the Best Foreign Film category in 2002, is to approach Aamir Khan for a role in his forthcoming film Tigers.

"If everything goes well, we plan to propose a small role to Aamir in Tigers. Let‘s see if it works out," said producer Cédomir in a statement. He is currently in Goa attending the International Film Festival of India (IFFI).

The story of Tigers revolves around a successful baby food company‘s product that is mixed with spurious ingredients, the large-scale consumption of which ultimately results in problems like diarrhea and dehydration and eventually, a few deaths. "It‘s a very real problem today," added Cédomir.

Tanovic and Cédomir are looking to film Tigers in India. "It is set in the Pakistani part of Punjab, but since it‘s not easy to shoot there, we will finish it in the Indian side of the state," revealed Cédomir.
