Fans of Aamir Khan and Priyanka Chopra will have to wait for some more time to see their favourite actors romance each other on celluloid. The duo, who was supposed to star in the biopic on the first Indian astronaut to travel to space, Rakesh Sharma, will no longer share screen space together. Aamir has reportedly backed out of the project. A source says, “There were some points of disagreement between him and the creative team.”

Aamir was likely to start shooting for the Mahesh Mathai directorial after Thugs of Hindostan. In fact, the producers had even picked Independence Day, 2018, as its release date. However, with this development many things will change.

Once news broke that Priyanka would play Aamir’s wife in the biopic, there was excitement among film buffs as these two A-listers have never been paired before. Now, it looks like PC will have to wait for her screen association with Aamir a bit longer. We contacted Aamir but he remained unavailable for comment.
