Bollywood fans have long been waiting to see Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani work together again. After delivering blockbusters like 3 Idiots and PK, the duo is finally teaming up once more. This time, they are set to create something truly meaningful — a biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian cinema.
A Tribute to the Pioneer of Indian Cinema
The upcoming film will tell the story of Dadasaheb Phalke, a name every true cinema lover in India knows. While his contribution to Indian cinema is widely respected, very little is known about his personal life. This biopic aims to explore the struggles and achievements of Phalke, especially the challenges he faced while making India’s first full-length feature film.
What makes this project even more special is that no filmmaker has ever attempted a biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke before. Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani now plan to honor his legacy by bringing his inspiring journey to the big screen.
Aamir Khan’s Comeback
Aamir Khan has been away from the limelight for some time. His last few films, including Laal Singh Chaddha, failed to meet audience expectations. However, the actor is now returning with a new film titled ‘Sitare Zameen Par’, which has already created a buzz online. The trailer has received over 50 million views on YouTube, reflecting strong interest from fans.
Interestingly, Sitare Zameen Par will be released completely free on YouTube two months after its theatrical run. This move could help Aamir reconnect with his audience and regain his position in the industry.
Shooting and Technology
The biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke is scheduled to begin shooting in October 2025. Since the story takes place in an earlier era, high-end VFX and modern technology will play a key role in recreating that time period.
Rajkumar Hirani has reportedly partnered with a VFX studio based in Los Angeles, and AI tools will also be used to enhance the authenticity of the scenes. This approach aims to give the audience a visually rich and emotionally powerful experience.
Expected Release Timeline
If all goes as planned, the film could be ready by late 2026. However, since a large portion of the post-production work will depend on VFX and CGI, there could be a delay in its release. No official release date has been announced yet.
This upcoming project promises to be more than just a film — it’s a cinematic tribute to the man who laid the foundation of Indian films. With Aamir Khan’s powerful acting and Rajkumar Hirani’s unique storytelling, the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic is expected to be both emotionally moving and visually grand. Fans can definitely look forward to something special.
