Whenever Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani collaborate, they deliver cinematic magic, as evidenced by films like ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘PK’. Their reunion, this time for an untold biopic of a legendary figure in Hindi cinema, has already sent fan expectations soaring.
Entertainment: Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani have begun work on another blockbuster, this time bringing to the screen the untold story of a giant in Hindi cinema—a life filled with previously hidden secrets. This is excellent news for Aamir Khan fans, whose three-year wait is almost over as Mr. Perfectionist prepares to unveil a series of surprises.
For those who feared Aamir’s disappearance from the screen after ‘Taare Zameen Par’, those worries can now be put to rest. Aamir Khan's next film has been announced, and fans won't have to wait much longer.
Some time ago, news surfaced that after ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘PK’, Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan were preparing to create another box-office sensation. Now, details of this film have emerged, promising to reveal previously unseen aspects of a legendary personality's life.
Perfectionist Aamir Khan to portray the Father of Indian Cinema
Aamir Khan has always poured his heart and soul into every role, and his stellar performances in films like ‘Dangal’ and ‘PK’ are testament to this. Now, he's ready for a completely new avatar, portraying the "Father of Indian Cinema," Dadasaheb Phalke. Phalke's first film, 'Raja Harishchandra', laid the foundation of Hindi cinema in 1913, a contribution for which the Indian government established the country's highest film award in his honor.
However, this time Aamir will need to deliver an even more powerful performance, as he's embodying a figure whose private life remains largely unknown. Dadasaheb Phalke created films like 'Satyavan-Savitri', yet many untold aspects of his life have remained off-screen.
It's surprising that before Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan, no filmmaker had considered a Dadasaheb Phalke biopic. It will be fascinating to see which untold aspects and secrets of Phalke's life they bring to light.
When will the shooting of the 'Dadasaheb Phalke' biopic begin?
The shooting of the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic, chronicling the life of the man who laid the foundation of Hindi cinema before India's independence, will commence in October 2025. Aamir Khan will play Dadasaheb Phalke, and his preparations will begin immediately after the release of 'Taare Zameen Par'.
The film's production team has already started work in Los Angeles VFX studios to recreate the period atmosphere. The film will also utilize AI technology, promising a novel and immersive experience for the viewers. Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan have received permission to make this biopic from Dadasaheb Phalke's grandson. Rajkumar Hirani will direct the film, while the story is penned by Hindukush Bharadwaj and Avishkar Bharadwaj.
