Overview
- Imran Khan, speaking to Hindustan Times on Thursday, said he has not even heard of the project and denied any involvement.
- The denial followed a Mid-Day report that claimed he recently did a look test for a pivotal part in a film about BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover.
- Multiple outlets report that Aamir Khan is expected to lead or back the project and that Shraddha Kapoor is set to play Madhuri Jain Grover, though none of this is confirmed.
- The film is described as being in scripting and pre-production with writer Rahul Mody developing the screenplay for nearly three years in what is expected to be his directorial debut.
- Coverage says the story would track Grover’s start-up rise and the disputes around his 2022 BharatPe exit, interest likely fueled by his Shark Tank India profile and the controversy tied to allegations of fund misuse.
