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.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Reddit users were divided in their reactions. One user wrote, \u201cIs 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.&#8221; Others reminded viewers to respect natural aging, with comments like, \u201cBhai, he is a 60-year-old senior citizen. Please accept that people age.&#8221; Some even defended his choice, saying, \u201cWho cares? His body, his choice. Live a little.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><strong>Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani Reunite<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">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\u2019s team highlighted the ambitious nature of the project: \u201cIt\u2019s 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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">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.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">A close source shared, \u201cAamir 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.&#8221; The source added that although Aamir explored numerous scripts, his focus is now entirely on bringing the legendary filmmaker\u2019s story to life.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Fans are eagerly awaiting more updates about the biopic, including casting details, release timelines, and the extent of Aamir\u2019s transformation.
