“Interestingly, they both felt that Aamir would not only deliver but also take the idea to a different level,” said the source.

However, Aamir is a busy man as the source revealed, “Besides, he`s also preoccupied with his television show, ‘Satyameva Jayate’ and films like ‘Talaash’ and ‘Dhoom 3’. And not to forget, biopics aren`t working for him yet, as the one on Guru Dutt. So he declined the idea.”

When contacted, Tigmanshu confirmed the news and said, “It’s not my next film, but it will be made. I am doing research on Verghese Kurien and working on the script.”
