The Gulshan Kumar biopic after going through a lot of upheavals is finally on the right track with Aamir Khan and Bhushan Kumar joining hands at producing the film. While Aamir is on-board the film as a co-producer of Mogul, the buzz is strong that he might essay the role of the music baron too. This development comes on the heels of reports that the project based on the controversial Indian godman, Rajneesh Osho has been put on hold.
A leading daily quoted a source, “Aamir and Bhushan Kumar have constantly been brainstorming about who should play the lead. Since the two haven't been able to zero in on an actor who fits the bill, Aamir is now putting serious thought into slipping into the role himself. The film's final draft is currently being written, with him monitoring its progress and giving inputs wherever needed. But right now, his top priority is Thugs Of Hindostan. Once he wraps up the post-production work on the film, he will read the final script of Mogul and take a call."

Aamir was supposed to start the Osho biopic after finishing Thugs of Hindostan but now the plans have changed and gone a little awry. The ambitious Thugs of Hindostan also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Fatima Sana Shaikh. The daily further reported, “After undergoing several look tests, Aamir felt that he wasn't able to look the part of Osho. So, he has decided to forgo the project for the moment. Though he is also committed to the long-drawn Mahabharata series, Mogul is likely to be his next project. He will make an announcement by year-end.”
The team is hoping that Mogul will go on floors by January and will be directed by Subhash Kapoor. However, Bhushan and Aamir have booked Christmas 2019 as the release date for the film.
