By: Tupaki Desk | 17 May 2025 10:05 AM ISTDadasaheb Phalke’s name is legendary in Indian cinema, and the talk about a biopic on his life has been growing. There were rumors about SS Rajamouli and Aamir Khan being involved. To clear things up, Phalke’s grandson Chandrashekhar shared what’s really happening with the project.
He said Rajamouli’s team hasn’t contacted the family yet. But Aamir Khan’s team has been researching Phalke’s life for over three years. At the same time, Rajkumar Hirani’s assistant producer has also been gathering information, showing serious interest. So there are a few filmmakers looking into it, but nothing is confirmed.
Chandrashekhar also denied rumors about NTR being part of the biopic. Rajamouli’s earlier announced film, ‘Made in India,’ hasn’t moved forward much, leaving fans wondering. It’s clear that making a film about Dadasaheb Phalke is still a work in progress.
The family being upfront about the situation gives hope to fans. With such talented people interested, hopefully one of these projects will do justice to Phalke’s legacy. Now, it’s just a matter of waiting to see which one comes together.
