But we have exclusively learnt from highly placed sources that the information is incorrect. “There is a script which Danish Aslam has written, and it is going to be produced by him, Imran and another mutual friend. Their friendship goes back 18-20 years. Aamir is not involved in any capacity with this comeback project. They took the project to a streaming platform, who prima facie based on the pitch level, gave it a thumbs up since there was no full screenplay. No agreement has been signed yet, that’s only done when the screenplay is approved,” tells us our source.

His comeback vehicle is going to be a film in the same zone as his previous feel-good films, adds our source. “Imran and his co-producers are avoiding a comment on this since there is always a possibility that such things don’t actually go through. Therefore until things are locked, the film will not go on floors. Not this year definitely,” we are told.
