There are reports doing round that Aamir Khan is set to headline a biopic on BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover, with Rahul Mody attached as director and producer. The project instantly stands out as one of the most unusual star pairings in recent Hindi cinema, bringing together an actor known for carefully mounted screen choices and a real-life figure whose rise, candour and controversies have kept him firmly in the public eye.
The film gives Aamir a sharply contemporary subject at a time when every move on his slate is being watched closely. Grover’s journey from startup success to television fame and public scrutiny already carries the ingredients of a mainstream biographical drama, especially for a star who has often gravitated toward parts with a strong cultural hook.
Inside The Rahul Mody Backed Ashneer Grover Film
The film is moving forward under Rahul Mody, who will direct and produce the project. Mody is widely known for writing mainstream Hindi entertainers such as Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, making this a striking turn toward a real-life drama fronted by one of Bollywood’s biggest names.
Ashneer Grover’s public journey offers the film plenty to work with. Alongside co-founding BharatPe, he became one of the breakout faces of Shark Tank India, where his cutting one-liners and no-filter style made him a major talking point across television and social media. That mix of ambition, success, conflict and reinvention gives the biopic a solid dramatic core.
There is also an established source text behind the story. Grover’s book Doglapan: The Hard Truth About Life and Start-Ups has already shaped much of his public narrative. In an X post dated February 22, 2024, Grover wrote, “While I have even more intense stories (stranger than fiction) for Doglapan 2.0, we are busy working on the MOVIE for now. Stay tuned !” With Grover himself publicly confirming that work on the movie was underway, the adaptation has had a clear foundation for some time.
For Aamir, that makes the film more than just a fresh biopic. It places him in a story rooted in India’s startup era and celebrity-business crossover culture, while also fitting into a phase of his career where his comeback choices are drawing renewed attention.
Aamir Khan’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Aamir was last seen in Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022. He returned to theatres with Sitaare Zameen Par in 2025, which marked his comeback as a leading man after a long gap. The Ashneer Grover biopic now adds a very different kind of role to that post-comeback phase, moving from an emotional social drama to a story drawn from boardrooms, television fame and public scandal.
If the film stays on course, it will give Aamir one of his most contemporary real-life characters yet, and a part drawn not from history or sport, but from the startup culture that has reshaped modern Indian celebrity itself.
