Is Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani’s Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic Dropped? Here’s Why
One of the most powerful duos of Bollywood is seeing a bump in the road. Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani's latest project has been reportedly shelved. Earlier this year they had announced that they were coming together for their third project after PK and 3 Idiots. The Biopic of Dadasheb Phalke was supposed to start production in October. Many fans were looking forward to it but this sudden halt has opened the door for many questions. Continue reading below to find out what Aamir had to say and what this means for the future.
The Roadblock: A Lack of Charm
Recently, reliable industry sources like Bollywood Hungama and Trade Brains Entertainment have reported that Aamir Khan wasn’t impressed with the script and followed with “he wasn’t happy”. Both Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir are well known for their superhit films and have always chased perfection. This recent script does not have the universal appeal and lacks the comic timing as well. According to reports, Aamir felt the script lacked the humour that they both had earlier in their projects. The entire story leaned more towards a more serious sequence than having some humour in between.
Moreover, it is also noted that there had been many sessions of rewrites for the project, which was supposedly meant to be under production from October of this year. However, both Aamir and Hirani have now concluded that they will be shelving the project.

What This Means for the Future
There is no update on a clear timeline for a revised script. Thus, the future of this collaboration remains uncertain. Aamir Khan has reportedly moved on to explore other scripts from various filmmakers across industries. Fans have to patiently wait for the official update from the production house of the actor. Hirani has also begun checking for his next script and is moving ahead with his projects. This news has certainly saddened many fans. The roadmap of Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic to start production seems distant now. The uncertainty will remain heavy until we get an official update from the makers.
Conclusion
While the most awaited project of the year is paused for now. Fans can look forward to new movie announcements from Aamir Khan as he has reportedly already started exploring other scripts. Though the news came with shockwaves but both Aamir and Hirani remain open for future collaboration and this decision of shelving the project seemingly taken by both. For now, fans of the blockbuster actor-director duo will have to wait longer to see their reunion come to fruition.
