Aamir Khan and director Rajkumar Hirani are joining forces to bring the story of Dadasaheb Phalke—the man behind India's very first feature film—to the big screen.

This marks the third time Khan and Hirani are working together after hits like 3 Idiots and PK.
The script has been in the works for four years, promising a mix of drama and humor while honoring Phalke's creative spirit.
Production kicks off in October 2025, using AI tech to keep things authentic.
Beyond just a movie, it's a tribute to a pioneer who changed Indian cinema forever—and whose legacy lives on through the Dadasaheb Phalke Award.
