Buzz in Bollywood has it that Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan, who was last seen in his home production Secret Superstar (2017), has signed his next. It is being widely reported that his next movie will be a biopic on controversial spiritual guru Osho, also known as Acharya Rajneesh.

The film will be helmed by Shakun Batra, whose last film Kapoor & Sons (2016) won loads of appreciation and adulation. Karan Johar will bankroll the movie under Dharma Productions in association with Aamir Khan Productions.


“Yes, it’s happening for sure. Shakun Batra, the writer, and director of such exciting Dharma Productions films as Kapoor & Sons and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012), is going to be directing the Osho biopic and has reportedly been working on its script for the past eight months. There was talk that Karan Johar might collaborate with Shakun to make this into web series but that is apparently not true. Shakun and Aamir are now convinced this is a film for the big screen audience,” reveals a source to an entertainment portal.

Meanwhile, Aamir Khan is busy with his upcoming film Thugs Of Hindostan, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
