Heightened interest always surrounds an Aamir Khan project. His next, a biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke, is no exception. Recently, rumours suggested that the Rajkumar Hirani-directed venture has been delayed as the superstar wants the script to be reworked. When mid-day reached out to Phalke’s grandson Chandrashekhar Srikrishna Pusalkar, he rubbished the chatter, saying, “It’s false news that the film is delayed. I checked with Hindukush and Avishkar [Bharadwaj, writers], and they denied it. Everything is going as scheduled. Nothing is being rewritten. The final draft is being prepared.”
