Rajkummar Rao replaces Aamir Khan in Ujjwal Nikam film
Rajkummar Rao is set to play Ujjwal Nikam, the prosecutor who led the case against Ajmal Kasab during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
The film will zoom in on this intense legal battle rather than being a full biopic, giving a closer look at how the courtroom drama unfolded.
TL;DR
Aamir Khan was initially considered for this role
Aamir Khan was originally considered for Nikam's role but had to pass due to other commitments.
The movie is directed by Avinash Arun Dhaware (of Paatal Lok fame) with Sumit Roy writing the screenplay, promising a sharp focus on legal strategy and high-stakes arguments.
Meanwhile, Rajkummar Rao's next project Maalik is slated for release on July 11, 2025—adding another interesting title to his diverse lineup.
