The portal quoted sources saying that the film is currently in the advanced stage, and multiple script reading sessions have already been completed. “The team is aggressively working on this story for a while now and the final draft also has creative inputs from the maverick duo Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi. It’s an emotional, inspiring sports drama set against the backdrop of the Indo-Pak partition in 1947,” a source informed.
The source further revealed that the makers are planning to take the film on floors by the end of this year, and shoot it around September 2026. “Extensive prep work is already underway, and apart from Aamir Khan, another leading actor is expected to come on board to play the parallel lead, the role of Lala Amarnath’s closest friend,” the source added.
Earlier, he had confirmed in interviews that he would be shooting three back-to-back films from September 2026 onward. Aamir also reportedly has filmmaker Rahul Mody’s startup-based project alongside Shraddha Kapoor, and the sequel to 3 Idiots, which also stars Vicky Kaushal, R. Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi. It will go on floors in the second half of 2027.
