Further reads, “They were developing the script but Aamir did not like the way it finally shaped up. Everybody knows that his script sense is brilliant so in that form, so if he does not like a script there has to be something wrong with it. And while he’s very fond of Siddharth, Aamir is not someone who will do a film if he’s not 100 per cent convinced of it. He discussed this with the creative team and conveyed his decision to them. Siddharth understood Aamir’s reasons as he knows that’s how Aamir works.”
The biopic will be based on Rakesh Sharma’s life, who was the first Indian astronaut to go to the moon. Mahesh Mathai to direct the film. Meanwhile, reports also suggested that Ranveer Singh to be the part of the biopic.
