Aamir Khan rejoins Mogul after Subhash Kapoor exits the project

According to their source, “The script is close to Aamir and he wants to make the film. Bhushan and he have had a number of meetings since and decided to collaborate on Mogul again. The hunt is on for another director. They are also looking at finalising the cast so they can roll with the film, asap.”

Khan had initially dropped production of the film when attempted rape charges against Kapoor were brought to light.

Actor Geetika Tyagi had accused Kapoor of attempted rape back in 2012 and filed a case against him in 2014. A video was released where she can be seen slapping Kapoor.

While Geetika came out with her story six years ago and has even filed a case, it was news to Khan, who immediately announced that he won’t work with a person charged with attempted rape.

Subhash had responded to the statement saying, “I understand and respect Aamir Khan’s and Kiran Rao’s decision. Since matter is subjudice, I intend to prove my innocence in the court of law.’

Soon afterwards, Subash had been removed from the project as T-series head honcho Bhushan too decided not to work with the director.

Mogul is based on the life of Gulshan Kumar, the founder of T-Series who was murdered by the Mumbai underworld syndicate D-Company.
