\"AamirAamir Khan’s post-Laal Singh Chaddha search lands on Ashneer Grover’s BharatPe saga\u2014approved, pre-production with Rahul Mody directing. Ashneer’s Doglapan-inspired story from Shark Tank fame has Khan hooked; he’s perfect for the startup tale. Aamir Khan<\/a>‘s last big commercial movie as the main hero was \u2018Laal Singh Chaddha\u2019 in 2022. Then came \u2018Sitaare Zameen Par\u2019 in 2025, which was smaller than his past hits. Since then, people have talked a lot about his next project. But one thing was clear: he wanted a biopic. He once showed interest in the life story of music composer Gulshan Kumar. There was also talk of him doing Dadasaheb Phalke<\/a>‘s biopic. Now it looks like he found what he wanted.<\/p>\n

Aamir Khan’s biopic search<\/p>\n

According to Bollywood Hungama, Khan has approved the Ashneer Grover biopic. The story of BharatPe’s founder and his role in the world of startups has impressed the actor. Aamir has read it and loved it; he is doing this film. It’s in the pre-production stage. It’s also very relatable as Ashneer is an extremely popular figure with today’s audience. <\/p>\n
