Aamir Khan has reportedly finalised his next project, shifting focus towards a biopic on Ashneer Grover. Earlier, he was exploring stories based on Gulshan Kumar and Dadasaheb Phalke, but his interest has now moved towards the BharatPe founder’s life.
According to reports, Aamir has been following Ashneer Grover’s journey for some time. An insider revealed that the film has already entered the pre production stage. Around two years ago, Grover had also hinted on X about a film being made on his life.
Ashneer Grover had earlier avoided commenting on casting choices for his role. However, the bigger question remains about the film’s timeline. There is no clarity yet on when the project will go on floors or reach theatres.
Trade experts have expressed concerns about the subject becoming outdated. Aamir Khan is known for taking time with his projects, which could affect the film’s relevance if the production stretches over a long period.
At the same time, social media users are questioning Bollywood’s continued interest in biopics. Many have pointed out that recent films in this genre have not performed well, raising doubts about the choice of subject.
Some users also believe that Ashneer Grover’s life is driven more by controversies than inspiration. This has led to mixed reactions, with a section of the audience unsure about the film’s appeal.
Critics argue that Grover is a recognisable personality but caution that his story may not easily translate into an engaging screenplay. The challenge will be to present the narrative in a compelling and cinematic manner.
Fans feel that the project could still succeed if made on a controlled budget. With Aamir Khan’s recent films facing challenges at the box office, this biopic could play a key role in shaping his comeback.
