Aamir Khan replaces Akshay Kumar in Mogul

According to latest media reports, superstar Aamir Khan, who is currently shooting for his upcoming film, Thugs Of Hindostan, with Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, and Sana Fatima Sheikh, has replaced superstar Akshay Kumar in the forthcoming biopic, Mogul.

Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Mogul is based on T-Series founder and music baron Gulshan Kumar who was shot dead on 12th August 1997. The biopic was announced last year and Akshay Kumar was signed to play the titular role.


However, the latest development on the project says that Kumar has reportedly returned the signing amount to the makers and bid adieu to the project. His busy schedule and unavailability of dates are being cited as possible reasons behind his exit from the biopic.

Reports also claim that now Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan will play the part in the movie. Not just that, he will co-produce it in collaboration with T-Series.

“Aamir will produce this biopic, which itself is an important development. Whether he will play the lead is not yet decided. No other details are known as of now,” reveals a source.

Mogul, which is expected to release in 2018, will be helmed by Subhash Kapoor.
