Any project involving Aamir Khan always generates massive curiosity, and his next film, the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic, is no different. Recently, the internet was buzzing with rumours that the film, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, had been delayed due to the superstar demanding script changes. However, Dadasaheb Phalke’s grandson, Chandrashekhar Srikrishna Pusalkar, has now come forward to put all the speculation to rest.
In a recent interview, Pusalkar called the delay reports “false news” and confirmed that the project is moving ahead smoothly. He clarified, “I checked with Hindukush and Avishkar (Bharadwaj, writers), and they denied it. Everything is going as scheduled. Nothing is being rewritten. The final draft is being prepared.”
Everything Is Going As Scheduled
Providing a clear timeline, Pusalkar announced that the film is all set to begin shooting in January 2026. The chosen location is Film City in Goregaon, which is officially named Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari. He noted that it seems perfectly fitting for the team to shoot the film there. The biopic will reportedly be set during India’s independence struggle and will focus on the incredible story of how Phalke made his first feature film, Raja Harishchandra, cementing his legacy as the “Father of Indian Cinema.”
Aamir Khan’s Deep Emotional Investment
Aamir Khan is known for his dedication and deep involvement in his films, both as an actor and a producer. According to Pusalkar, the superstar is heavily invested in the biopic’s script and has been providing his own inputs. The story of Phalke’s journey has clearly struck a chord with him on a personal level.
Pusalkar revealed, “While reading the script, he holds a kerchief in one hand. He cried over some special moments in my grandfather’s life. He gets emotional about what my grandfather went through.” This detail shows just how much the powerful story has moved Aamir, promising a heartfelt performance.
