After the success of 3 Idiots and PK, Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani are teaming up for the third time for the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic. Both films were celebrated for their sharp wit, emotional depth, and powerful storytelling — a signature style the duo is known for. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, when asked if humour would also find its place in the Phalke biopic, Aamir responded: “I think Raju and Abhijat (Joshi, writer) have a special leaning towards comedy — and so do I. All three of us really like humour, and I think that’s the genre Raju enjoys most: drama with humour. So this will probably fall into the same space.”

Filming for the project is slated to begin in October 2025. Aamir Khan will commence preparations soon after the release of Sitaare Zameen Par. VFX studios based in Los Angeles have already created AI-driven visual references to capture the era and period of the film. The script — which has been in development for the last four years — has been crafted by Rajkumar Hirani, Abhijat Joshi, Hindukush Bharadwaj, and Avishkar Bharadwaj.

Speaking of the professional front, Aamir is currently seen in Sitaare Zameen Par, which was released on June 27. The film, directed by RS Prasanna, also stars Genelia Deshmukh. Meanwhile, Rajkummar Hirani’s last directorial was Dunki, starring Shah Rukh Khan. The film was released in 2023.
