Earlier this year, Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani announced their much-anticipated reunion for the third time with an untitled Dadasaheb Phalke biopic. The news stirred a significant buzz, especially after their successful collaborations in cult hits like *3 Idiots* and *P.K.*
However, in a surprising turn of events, 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 confirmed to Bollywood Hungama that both Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani are committed to perfection. They were not satisfied with the current script of the biopic. Aamir reportedly felt that the script was “too dry” for today’s audience and lacked the humor that fans expect from their collaboration.
After multiple rewrite sessions, the pair 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 such a benchmark is achieved, they are in no rush to move the film into production.
### What’s Next for Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani?
Meanwhile, Aamir Khan is reading through multiple scripts as he searches for his next project. Sources reveal he is currently evaluating around 20 scripts and plans to finalize one soon.
Rajkumar Hirani has also begun the process of identifying his next subject and will start writing shortly. Although the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic is on hold, the filmmaker and actor are expected to reunite for another project in the near future.
Aamir is anticipated to announce his next move in the first quarter of 2026.
