Aamir Khan is all geared up for the release of Thugs Of Hindostan which is scheduled to hit screens on November 8.  Recently during an interaction, the actor had said that he had suggested Shah Rukh Khan's name for the Rakesh Sharma biopic as he thought SRK would be the apt choice for the role. Reports state that Sare Jahan Se Acha was initially offered to Aamir Khan and Priyanka Chopra, but Aamir had dropped out due to personal reasons.

 


 

Aamir had said in an interview that “ it was a great script, the story of Mr. Sharma is highly fascinating, It is true I called up Shahrukh and said he must hear the script, it is fantastic. It will be right for him if he would like it'. I am glad he liked the script and he is doing it.

 


 

The film would be directed by Mahesh Mathai and will be produced by Sidharth Roy Kapur and Ronnie Screwvala respectively. Earlier reports state that Bhumi Pednekar was signed opposite SRK but Screwvala states that the casting is still not finalized. Makers reveal that the team would start working on the biopic early next year.
