Aamir Khan in talks to back Ujjwal Nikam biopic movie?
The actor has taken a break from acting after his last movie, Laal Singh Chaddha, tanked at the box office.
According to a Pinkvilla report, Aamir Khan is in advanced stages of discussion with Dinesh Vijan to produce the biopic of public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam.
The movie is expected to go on floors in 2024. The makers are currently looking out for an apt director to helm the project.
“Aamir was introduced to the journey of Ujjwal Nikam in the pre-pandemic times and he has been interested in bringing it to the spectacle ever since then. There have been several drafts of scripts written by multiple producer partners, but after all the discussions, Aamir is now on the verge of locking his association with Dinesh Vijan on the Ujjwal Nikam Biopic.”
– a source informed the portal.
The report also revealed that Aamir was considering to headline the film at one point of time. However, it’s now the case anymore.
“The idea is to take it on floors in 2024 and the casting calls are expected to roll out from year-end. While Aamir was definitely considering to lead the biopic himself, one can’t say if it’s a film starring Aamir Khan or a production with another actor stepping in to play the lead at this point in time.”
