Well, now as per the reports, the actor has backed out from the project and the real reason behind leaving the project was the film's uncertain future. In the film, Aamir was set to helm Vijay Sethupathi's character and Saif Ali Khan was cast alongside him in R. Madhavan's role. Well, though, Aamir has left the project but Saif is still associated with the remake. Now, Aamir wants to invest his mind in the late Gulshan Kumar's biopic 'Mogul'.
Now, throwing some lights on the project, earlier, the T-series owner revealed that music composer Pritam is working on film music and the shooting for the film might start next year or the second half of 2021.
Previously, in an interview with a leading portal, Bushan Kumar talked about the project and said, `Ya it is happening. Obviously because of this COVID thing everything is delayed. He is finishing Laal Singh and once he finishes he will get on to our film. It is a very very special film for us. Pritam is doing the music for it. He is also, I guess, excited about it because it is our father's biopic. I think it will start next year or the second half of 2021.`
Well, previously Aamir Khan sidelined himself from the film when director Subash Kapoor's name was revealed in the #MeToo movement. But later, the actor reversed his decision and agreed to do the film under the director's supervision with a statement saying, 'Innocent until proven guilty'.
