For a while, there has been buzz around Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani teaming up for a biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke. As per reports, the film was supposed to go on the floor this March. However, now it seems that the plans have been pushed ahead.

When asked about the film, Aamir said, “I have immense respect for Dadasaheb Phalke. I do know some of his life because of the research that Raju has done, and he has told me about it. I’m not sure if the script has been fully cracked yet, as he’s still working on it. Ultimately, it all depends on how the final script shapes up, so I’m waiting for Raju to take that call. He’s a great person to work with.”

If the film materializes, it will mark Aamir’s third collaboration with Hirani after 3 Idiots (2009) and PK (2014).

Aamir said this in a chat with us at golfer Amit Luthra’s 18th Invitational Fundraiser Tournament 2026, held in Chembur. Praising the initiative, the actor highlighted the importance of making golf accessible to underprivileged children. “What the Golf Foundation is doing is wonderful. Golf is often called an elitist sport because it’s very expensive... you need courses, infrastructure, equipment, gloves and so much more. Children from economically weaker backgrounds usually don’t get a chance to play."
