Is Aamir Khan set to play the lead in Shakun Batra’s Osho project?

Recently there were reports that Karan Johar is planning to make a movie on the life of spiritual guru, Bhagwan Rajneesh, who is also known as Osho. However, there were rumours that the filmmaker was never planning to take this project on. But now there are reports that Shakun Batra had written a script on the life of Osho that may be made for an international streaming channel as a web series.

According to sources, “Shakun Batra has apparently penned a script on the life of Osho that may be made for an international streaming channel as a web series. And none other than Aamir Khan is said to have shown interest in the project. Everyone knows what a great sense of script Aamir has. When he got to know about this one, it immediately piqued his interest. In fact, he is said to have visited Los Angeles, USA, to meet the officials of the streaming channel. This is definitely an important development.”

Aamir also has his ambitious project ‘Mahabharat’, the source said, “This project may happen before 'Mahabharata’. Biopics are the order of the day in Bollywood, and looks like this one will be an interesting addition to the list.”

The source also revealed, “Alia Bhatt, who has worked with Shakun in ‘Kapoor & Sons’ and is a close friend of the director, has apparently heard the script. She, too, has loved it. It’s not known whether she will be a part of the project, but she believes it’s a great script.”
