Earlier this year, Bollywood stalwarts Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani announced their much-anticipated reunion for a third time, collaborating on the yet untitled Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic. The announcement sparked a wave of excitement among fans and industry watchers alike, especially after their successful collaborations in cult films like *3 Idiots* and *P.K.*
However, in a surprising development, the duo has decided to put the Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic on hold.
### SCOOP: Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani’s Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic Shelved Due to Script Issues
Reliable sources have confirmed to Bollywood Hungama that Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani, known for their pursuit of perfection, were not satisfied with the current script of the biopic. According to the sources, “Aamir felt that the script is too dry for today’s audience and lacks the signature humour that fans expect from their collaborations.”
Despite numerous rewrite sessions, the duo collectively decided to pause the project. They believe that a personality as iconic as Dadasaheb Phalke deserves a script that is both emotionally stirring and universally engaging. Until they achieve that benchmark, they have no intention of rushing the film into production.
### What’s Next for Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani?
Meanwhile, Aamir Khan is busy reading multiple scripts as he explores options to lock in his next project. “He is currently reviewing at least 20 shortlisted scripts and plans to announce his next film in the first quarter of 2026,” insiders reveal.
Rajkumar Hirani has also begun the process of identifying his next subject and will soon start writing. Although the Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic is on hold, fans can rest assured that Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani will reunite for another project in the near future.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting collaboration!
