Mogul: Post Subhash Kapoor’s exit, Aamir Khan might join team againAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Feb 9 (AZINS) Aamir Khan fans were extremely unsure about what project would their favourite star take up next. Now it looks like the movie which he would sign next will be the biopic of Gulshan Kumar aka Mogul. This happens after Subhash Kapoor has been thrown out of the project.
The superstar had cleared that he would not work with a director who has been accused of molestation and attempted rape, until he is proven guilty of the charge. Aamir posted it as his Twitter status. See it here:
The Jolly LLB director was charged with attempted rape and molestation after actress Geetika Tyagi filed a complaint against Kapoor with the Versova Police station, in April 2014. The case was got to limelight once again with the ongoing #MeToo campaign. Subhash was arrested and then got bail. He however has reportedly bid the film adieu, thanks to Bhushan Kumar and Aamir Khan's strong desire on work on the project without an accused.
A source close to Cineblitz insists that with Subhash’s exit from Mogul, Aamir Khan is back on board. This has reportedly even made Bhushan happy since the producer, who also happens to be Gulshan’s son, thought Aamir would be perfect for the role. The source told the publication, “Aamir on his part too was keen to play the music mogul and so they have now once again decided to collaborate. Of course, they will now rope in a new director and they are on the lookout. The film will roll as soon as they can finalise the director.”
Aamir Khan was never the original choice for Mogul. Bhushan had announced the project with Akshay Kumar and even created a first look poster, but things did not work out and Aamir was roped in. Aamir too was expected to work on Mahabharata, but he might take up Mogul before that. The actor has reportedly even started losing weight to look his part.
