After months of speculation, Bollywood's eagerly-awaited Dadasaheb Phalke biopic starring Aamir Khan has hit a snag. The film, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, has reportedly been delayed. According to Mid-Day, the production team has been working on fine-tuning the script, with a fresh draft being written to ensure the film stays contemporary while staying rooted in history. The key aim is to balance humor and sincerity, capturing the stature of the legendary filmmaker Dadasaheb Phalke. This development comes after Aamir Khan expressed concerns about the initial script, citing the need for a more balanced blend of emotions and comedy. The rewrite is expected to be finalized by February, paving the way for production to start in late March. Dadasaheb Phalke, also known as Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, was a pioneer of Indian cinema, credited with directing India's first feature film, Raja Harishchandra, in 1913. The biopic is expected to bring his inspiring story to the big screen. Aamir Khan's last release was RS Prasanna's Sitaare Zameen Par, where he played a basketball coach mentoring ten differently-abled individuals. The Dadasaheb Phalke biopic promises to be a significant project for the actor and the industry, and fans are eagerly awaiting updates on its progress.
