Just a year ago, Akshay Kumar was announced as the lead actor of T-Series’ Mogul, a biopic on music maestro and founder of T-Series, late Gulshan Kumar.
Akshay had also confirmed his association with the film on Twitter. He had tweeted:
“My association with Him began with my very first film. He was The Emperor of Music. Now know His story… #Mogul, The Gulshan Kumar story!”

If reports are to be believed, now, Aamir Khan has replaced Akshay Kumar in the film.
Speculations were doing rounds that Akshay has quit the project and reportedly returned the signing amount to the makers.
When quizzed about it, Akshay reacted saying that he’s the face of the project and it hasn’t gone on floors. He called all the reports as rumors.
Recently, A leading daily quoted a source saying:
“Aamir will produce this biopic, which itself is an important development. Whether he will play the lead is not yet decided. No other details are known as of now.”
But now reports suggest that not just production but Aamir will step into Akshay’s shoes too.
On the work front, Aamir Khan is currently busy shooting Thugs Of Hindostan with Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, and Fatima Sana Sheikh. While Akshay Kumar is awaiting the release of his next flick Padman.
