Mumbai, May 20 - Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan delighted the fans by announcing his reunion with director Rajkumar Hirani for the biopic of Dadasaheb Phalke, who is known as the father of Indian cinema. The celebrated duo had previously collaborated on the blockbuster films like 3 Idiots (2009) and PK (2014).

The actor-director duo of Aamir and Hirani has quietly been developing this project for some years, and now, they are set to take it on the floors by the end of this year. According to the latest report by Peepingmoon.com, Aamir and Hirani are targeting April 30, 2027, for the film's release.



The release date aligns with Phalke's 157th birth anniversary, and the makers aim to deliver an unparalleled cinematic experience chronicling the origins of Indian cinema. Pre-production will reportedly begin in October as the plan is to wrap it up by mid-2026, allowing sufficient time for intensive post-production work, including intricate VFX.

It is said that Aamir will undergo extensive preparation, including dialect coaching and other forms of specialised training, to accurately portray the role of Dadasaheb Phalke. He will start preparation shortly after the release of Sitaare Zameen Par, which debuts on June 20.
