‘Rang de Basanti’ came and won hearts three years back. It took Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra three years to put collectively ‘Delhi 6'.

Now that the film is almost ready, his RDB star Aamir Khan is high up on his wish list as he thinks about his next movie.
And this film is about the life of legendary actor-producer-director Guru Dutt.

Reportedly, Nasreen Munni Kabir, who has also written the book ‘Guru Dutt: A Life in Cinema’, has scripted the untitled film.

Mehra wants to start the film by the end of the year, but things can be confirmed only after concrete talks with Aamir Khan
The actor is currently working in Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘3 Idiots’ and his wife Kiran Rao’s ‘Dhobi Ghat’. And everyone knows how particular Aamir is about the theme, the script and other things related to his movies

He’s also handling his home productions ‘Delhi Belly’ directed by Abhinay Deo and a movie on farmers’ suicides.

Incidentally, Guru Dutt’s ‘Kaagaz ke Phool’ was itself a semi-autobiographical with him as a unsuccessful filmmaker and dealing with his relationship with his wife as well as the woman he loved. The black-and-white movie flopped when it was first released in 1959 but later managed to get classic category.
