Biopic on astronaut Rakesh Sharma has star co-producer: Aamir Khan

Roy Kapur Films, RSVP and Aamir Khan Productions have joined hands for Aamir Khan- starrer Rakesh Sharma's biopic 'Salute'. The flick will be Aamir's second biopic post 'Dangal', where the superstar will be seen playing the astronaut Rakesh Sharma, who was the first Indian to go to space on celluloid. 'Salute' will have the 'PK' star collaborating with Siddharth Roy Kapur and Ronnie Screwvala as co-producers. The perfectionist of Bollywood is known to be critical of his associations, with the actor majorly teaming up with Aditya Chopra and Siddharth Roy Kapur. He has collaborated with both several times. In fact, Siddharth has worked with Aamir in back to back five films. The biopic will be helmed by Mahesh Mathai, who is a well-known name in ad circles with several successful campaigns to his credit.
