Aamir Khan and Bhushan Kumar collaborate for Gulshan Kumar biopic

Aamir Khan Productions and T-Series have come together to produce one of the most awaited biopics of Bollywood, Mogul, which will be based on the life of T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar who was shot dead on 12th August, 1997.

Bhushan Kumar and his entire family are quite excited about the fact that superstar Aamir Khan has come on-board to co-produce the movie. The project is very close to Kumar’s heart and he always wanted to make it on a grand scale.


The biopic will be directed by noted Hindi filmmaker Subhash Kapoor and the shooting for the biographical movie will start at the beginning of 2019. The makers have locked Christmas 2019 to release it worldwide.

Talking about the star cast of the movie, the makers are yet to decide on that. Earlier, superstar Akshay Kumar was on-board to play Gulshan Kumar in the biopic. However, later it turned out that he walked out of the project due to some creative differences with the makers.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
