Overview
- Multiple entertainment outlets report that Aamir Khan stepped away from the Ashneer Grover biopic on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, citing creative differences with debut director Rahul Mody.
- Reports say the disagreements concerned the film’s vision and treatment after Aamir had worked on the script, though specific creative issues have not been detailed by sources.
- Rahul Mody and Shraddha Kapoor are reported to remain attached to the project and have begun searching for a younger actor to portray Ashneer Grover.
- Sources say Shraddha Kapoor will continue as a co-producer and is expected to play Ashneer Grover’s wife, Madhuri Jain Grover, which keeps a key creative and production anchor in place.
- All accounts so far rely on unnamed insiders and a Bollywood Hungama report, and neither Aamir Khan nor the film’s makers have publicly confirmed the development so the casting, schedule, and creative direction remain uncertain.
