Aamir Khan to play India's first astronaut Rakesh Sharma in Salute!

Superstar Aamir Khan has associated with producers Siddharth Roy Kapur and Ronnie Screwvala for "Salute", a biopic on India's first astronaut Rakesh Sharma.

The project will be jointly produced by Aamir, Screwvala and Kapur under their banners AKP, RSVP and Roy Kapur Films respectively, read a statement from the film's publicist.

"Salute" will be Aamir's second biopic after the grand success of "Dangal".

The biopic will be helmed by Mahesh Mathai.

Aamir has worked with both the producers for films like "Rang De Basanti", "Delhi Belly", "PK" and "Dangal".

At the moment, Aamir is busy with Vijay Krishna Acharya's "Thugs of Hindostan", which also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Katrina Kaif. The film went on the floors in Malta earlier this month.

Aamir babu going to conqueror space with his perfectionism. He is not going anywhere for another 5 years. I predict #Aamir4five.
He must be sad though, cause prolly can't cast Fatima for the film. Sab armaan ansu main beh gaye type halat. :c

So its on finally this will be a very interesting one

Good to see Aamir sign more movies. He will have a release each in 2018 and 2019 now (and 2020 too if that romantic drama with Fatima is true).

it's an interesting one...after many months of speculation over this biopic this looks like it's true...

Wasn't it Saarey Jahaan sey Achha? It was much better.

Knowing Aamir this will work big time. That particular conversation between Indira Gandhi and Rakesh Sharma how does India look from space and he is reply saare jahan se accha hindustaan hamara will bring great cheers among audience 👍🏼

This is going to be so good...but ab Aamir paanch saal na laga de...movie banane mein😵...can't wait for this...
