Summary
- Vikrant Massey approached for a prominent role in Aamir Khan's 'Lalkaara'.
- The film is a sports drama based on the 1952 India-Pakistan test series.
- Excel Entertainment and Rajkumar Hirani are producing 'Lalkaara'.
Superstar Aamir Khan is preparing for his next project, 'Lalkaara', expected to begin filming later this year. The makers are currently in the casting phase and have reportedly offered a key role to actor Vikrant Massey.
'Lalkaara' is described as an intense sports drama, drawing inspiration from the historic 1952 test series between India and Pakistan. The script, penned by Piyush Gupta and Neeraj Singh, delves into themes of rivalry, friendship, partition, and nationalism, rather than being a biopic.
The film is backed by Excel Entertainment, founded by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, with Rajkumar Hirani also serving as a producer. Aamir Khan has prior successful collaborations with both Farhan Akhtar and Rajkumar Hirani.
Vikrant Massey is evaluating the offer, considering the long-term commitment involved in both preparation and shooting for 'Lalkaara'. His decision will depend on his availability alongside other existing projects.
