Rajkummar Rao in talks for Ujjwal Nikam’s biopic
Rajkummar Rao is gearing up for his next romantic comedy film Bhool Chuk Maaf with Wamiqa Gabbi. The film will be released in theatres on May 9. Amid this, a report is coming in that the actor is in discussions to portray renowned public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam in an upcoming biopic. This development follows Aamir Khan’s decision to step back from the lead role.
Mid-day has quoted sources saying, “Dinesh is keen on having Rajkummar play Nikam. He brings the right intensity and range to the role. Preliminary talks have been positive, but Raj is immersed in prep for Vikramaditya Motwane’s next, which is a physically and emotionally demanding script since he plays a sportsman. The dates will need to be worked out.”
The source further claims, “It was always going to be a compelling courtroom drama with a political undercurrent, but now the team is exploring a grittier and more grounded treatment that fits Raj’s style more, if he comes on board.”
Earlier, Pinkvilla reported, informed that “Aamir was introduced to the journey of Ujjwal Nikam in the pre-pandemic times and he has been interested in bringing it to the spectacle ever since then. There have been several drafts of scripts written by multiple producer partners, but after all the discussions, Aamir is now on the verge of locking his association with Dinesh Vijan on the Ujjwal Nikam Biopic.” Reportedly, Aamir was supposed to act in the film but at the moment, he will be only associated with the project as a producer.
The source added, “The idea is to take it on floors in 2024 and the casting calls are expected to roll out from year-end. While Aamir was definitely considering leading the biopic himself, one can’t say if it’s a film starring Aamir Khan or a production with another actor stepping in to play the lead at this point in time.”
Coming to Ujjwal Nikam, He is a well known Indian prosecutor and has worked on notable murder and terrorism cases. He helped in prosecuting the suspects in the 1993 Bombay Blasts, the Pramod Mahajan case, the 2008 Mumbai Attacks and the Gulshan Kumar murder case. Ujjwal was also the prosecutor in the 2013 Mumbai Gang rape case, 2016 Kopardi Rape and murder case. Back in 2016l, he was awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India in 2016.
