After NTR even Aamir shelves Dadasaheb Phalke biopic

on Nov 11, 2025

NTR and Aamir Khan have been at a race to star in the biopic of Father of Indian Cinema, Dadasaheb Phalke. The news reports have suggested that SS Rajamouli is going to produce the film with NTR while Rajkumar Hirani will direct Aamir Khan's version. Recently, NTR has dropped out of the project.

While his close sources have denied that NTR even considered to be part of the biopic, the recent reports have given his fans a sigh of relief. They did not want their action hero to play such a period film, at this juncture. Now, reports suggest that Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani have decided to shelve their project.

Close sources have revealed that the actor did not feel the movie could live up to expectations risen by their union after films like 3 Idiots and PK. He felt that any other script would do justice rather than this one. Even Hirani agreed and started working on his next without Aamir in consideration.

Aamir Khan is busy finalising his next film script and he is apparently hearing to 25 scripts and he might announce his next in a couple of months. For now, Dadasaheb Phalke biopic is not happening in any language of Indian Cinema.
