Aamir Khan seemingly gains weight for Dadasaheb Phalke biopic.
Aamir Khan is back in the spotlight, not just for his next big film but for his striking new look. A viral video circulating on Reddit shows the actor appearing to have gained significant weight compared to his lean frame in Sitaare Zameen Par. Fans were quick to comment, sparking debates online about whether the transformation is for his upcoming Dadasaheb Phalke biopic.
Reddit users were divided in their reactions. One user wrote, “Is Aamir Khan putting on weight for the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic? He looks a bit out of shape now, especially considering how young and fresh he appeared in Sitaare Zameen Par.” Others reminded viewers to respect natural aging, with comments like, “Bhai, he is a 60-year-old senior citizen. Please accept that people age.” Some even defended his choice, saying, “Who cares? His body, his choice. Live a little.”
Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani Reunite
News of Aamir Khan collaborating with Rajkumar Hirani for a biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke, widely regarded as the Father of Indian Cinema, has generated immense excitement. An official statement from Aamir’s team highlighted the ambitious nature of the project: “It’s surprising that no one in Hindi cinema has yet told us the story of cinema in cinema. VFX studios from LA have already created AI designs for the era and period of the film.”
Sources reveal that Aamir meticulously reviewed multiple scripts before finalizing this project with Hirani. Pinkvilla reported that prior to confirming his next film, the actor was simultaneously brainstorming up to ten projects, including potential sequels, biopics, and collaborations with filmmakers like Rajkumar Santoshi, Anurag Basu, and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.
A close source shared, “Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani have long dreamt of making a film on Dadasaheb Phalke. While Raju was working on the script, Aamir was creatively involved in multiple projects, ensuring he only commits to content with strong potential.” The source added that although Aamir explored numerous scripts, his focus is now entirely on bringing the legendary filmmaker’s story to life.
Fans are eagerly awaiting more updates about the biopic, including casting details, release timelines, and the extent of Aamir’s transformation. Given his history of physically immersive performances, speculation about his weight gain suggests the actor is fully committed to authentically portraying Dadasaheb Phalke.
