Aamir Khan to star in Ashneer Grover biopic directed by Rahul Mody - Reports

Aamir Khan's last big commercial movie as the main hero was ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ in 2022. Then came ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ 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's biopic. Now it looks like he found what he wanted.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. Ashneer's journey is in his book ‘Doglapan: The Hard Truth about Life and Start-Ups’. The ‘Shark Tank India’ star posted on X that a movie is in development. Interviewers often probed him on biopic casting, and he named the Khans or Akshay Kumar as initial choices. Still, he emphasizes he's actor-agnostic: the story reigns supreme, so any performer who honors it perfectly will do.As per the reports, Rahul Mody, writer of the ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ series, ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’, and ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar’, will direct and produce the film. Ashneer Grover rose to prominence as BharatPe's co-founder and ex-managing director, powering a leading digital payments startup. He grabbed the mainstream spotlight with his razor-sharp, straight-talking style on ‘Shark Tank India’, turning his candid remarks into viral reel gold. A blend of startup triumphs, bold persona, and business buzz keeps him a hot topic in the public eye.
