As per sources, the production is scheduled to begin in October 2025. Aamir Khan will commence his preparation for the role shortly after the release of Sitaare Zameen Par. To authentically recreate the era, VFX studios based in Los Angeles have already developed AI-generated designs to match the film’s historical setting.

Director Rajkumar Hirani, along with writers Abhijat Joshi, Hindukush Bharadwaj, and Avishkar Bharadwaj, has been developing the script for the past four years. The project has also received valuable support from Dadasaheb Phalke’s grandson, Chandrashekhar Srikrishna Pusalkar, who has shared rare personal anecdotes from Phalke’s life.
