Overview
- Multiple entertainment outlets reported on July 22, 2026 that Aamir Khan has opted out of the planned biopic of entrepreneur Ashneer Grover because of creative differences with debut director Rahul Mody.
- Sources say Khan helped develop the script before leaving, but he and Mody could not reconcile their visions for the film.
- Shraddha Kapoor is confirmed by reports to stay on as the female lead and a producer, and she is expected to play Ashneer Grover’s wife in the project.
- Rahul Mody and Kapoor are said to be seeking a relatively younger actor for the male lead and are in talks with two to three top names, though no replacement has been officially announced.
- The subject, Ashneer Grover, is a former BharatPe co‑founder whose public controversies and a 2024 settlement make the biopic both commercially sensitive and likely to face scheduling and creative hurdles before production begins.
