ETimes was the first to give you details about
Aamir Khan's next film and schedule, and now a report by another news portal corroborates our previous big scoop.
Aamir, who is currently awaiting the release of ‘
Laal Singh Chaddha
’ in August, will be kick-starting the shooting of
RS Prasanna’s
sports drama
in September. The film is inspired by the 2018 Spanish film, ‘
Campeones
’.
According to a report in a news portal, Aamir wants to commence work on the film after the August release of ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. Given the sports drama’s subject, it will be largely shot outdoors. The makers reportedly wanted to avoid filming in the city in the rains. So, beginning September, it will be a two-month straight shoot. The report also added that for the first schedule, the set will be erected at a Mumbai studio.
The sports drama revolves around a temperamental basketball coach who, as part of his community service sentence, builds a team comprising the intellectually-disabled for the Special Olympics.
Meanwhile, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ also features Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya in key roles. The movie is an official Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood movie, ‘Forrest Gump’. The original movie starred Tom Hanks in the lead role.
Apart from these, reports were rife that Aamir is also planning to collaborate with
Ranbir Kapoor in a two-hero project which is being helmed by
Anurag Basu. However, the director recently rubbished all such reports.
