“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,” revealed a source close to the development, adding further that Aamir was himself considering to act in the film at one point of time, but at the moment, he is associated in the capacity of a producer.
The team is on the lookout for an apt and able director to be at the helm of the affair and then move on to the casting stage. “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,” the source added.
