Producer Bhushan Kumar recently opened up about his long-awaited biopic of his late father, Gulshan Kumar, sharing a few intriguing updates with Connect Cine. While Mogul was initially set to feature Aamir Khan in the lead role, and Aamir is still eager to dive into the project, Bhushan revealed there is one major hold-up – his mother, Sudesh Kumari, is not fully on board with the current storyline.

In his recent interview with Connect Cine, Bhushan opened up about his father’s biopic and said, “We are writing that. We had written earlier, it was all superb. The actor, we hadn’t officially announced, but everybody knew Aamir sir was doing it. He still wants to do it. He always tells me, ‘It’s the best script I’ve ever read in recent times, jo mujhe karni hi karni hai (that I absolutely want to do)’. There are some family reservations about that, especially my mother. She wants to do it from one perspective and we had written the script from another perspective. Obviously, I can’t make a film about my father if my mother isn’t convinced about it. Once my mother is convinced about the script, which she will be eventually.”
He added that although the current script would likely captivate audiences, he won’t compromise his family’s feelings for the sake of entertainment. “I’m not going to hurt my family just to make a blockbuster,” Bhushan said. “When this biopic happens, it’s going to be presented by Bhushan Kumar and T-Series, a true tribute to my father.”
