In an exciting turn of events, Aamir Khan and renowned filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani are reuniting for a remarkable project: a biopic on the father of Indian cinema, Dadasaheb Phalke. This collaboration has generated a lot of buzz in the film industry.
According to a source familiar with the project, this film has been in the works for over four years. Both Aamir and Hirani are committed to honoring Dadasaheb Phalke’s legacy, the visionary who laid the foundation for Indian cinema. The script has undergone extensive research and refinement, promising to be more than just a biopic; it aims to be a heartfelt tribute.
Set during India’s struggle for independence, the film will explore Phalke’s passion, challenges, and contributions to cinema, beginning with his iconic film, Raja Harishchandra, released in 1913. Audiences can expect a deeply emotional and inspiring tale, infused with Hirani’s unique storytelling style.
Aamir Khan will start preparing for his role after the release of his upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par. The shooting for the biopic is scheduled to begin in October 2025, and plans are in place for a grand presentation, featuring elaborate set designs and advanced prosthetics to capture the essence of the silent film era.
Having previously collaborated on huge hits like PK and 3 Idiots, there are high expectations for this project. It is anticipated to be a major cinematic highlight of 2026, with potential showcases at international film festivals.
