After Mangal Pandey and Chandrashekhar Azad in Rang De Basanti , Buzz is Aamir Khan is all set to do another classic character from history and that’s Lal Bahadur Shastri. And the most amazing and interesting thing is that the veteran actor Manoj Kumar is writing the script. Manoj Kumar is making a comeback after 10 long years. He is writing two patriotic scripts – one titled Aakhri Goli (The Last Bullet) based on the life of Chandrashekhar Azad and the second titled Lal Bahadur Shastri on the life of the previous prime minister of India.And we also heard that Aamir is also keen to reprise the role as his nara will be ‘Jai Jawan Jai Kissan’.
“Aamir has been approached and he is quite excited. The movie is about the life and times of Lal Bahadur Shastri. It is like a bio-pic, but since so little is known about the personal life of the man except for the fact that he was very close to Jawaharlal Nehru and that he had fought a war with Pakistan — and his mysterious death at Tashkent about which people have debated whether he was poisoned — we have to improvise a lot on the plot to make it dramatic and intriguing. The script will have the permission from the descendants of Shastri’s family,” Manoj told After Hrs, adding, “I think Aamir is well equipped to pull off this role. I have seen his movies and I must say I love his acting. He is certainly the finest performer we have today.”
Manoj Kumar is known as the patritic hero of bollywood as he has always done movies related to Bharat Mata. When contacted Manoj Kumar he said , “”Life has begun for me at 50. I have always believed in quality over quantity and so in my entire career, I have just done around 50 films — unlike others who have done 300. Hats off to them, but I don’t have the stamina to go on and on unless something really fascinates me.” “I have researched the subject for many years and only after that did I decide to take the plunge. movies have been my passion and I don’t think I can ever stop it. We are yet to start full-fledged casting.”.
