Currently, Aamir is shooting for Thugs of Hindostan in Malta and will start prepping for the biopic once he wraps the film. Last year, when Aamir was asked about the biopic, he said to an agency, "I have not signed any film yet. I have just begun to read scripts and explore the possibility."

He added, "Until I sign a film I can't tell you (the media) because it's not fair. There are a lot of people approaching me and they are approaching me with confidence, I will not let them down."
