has taken theaters by storm since its March 19, 2026 release, earning massive praise for its grand vision, storytelling, and visuals, with stars like Ranveer Singh leading the charge.[2][1] Aamir Khan himself acknowledged the hype at the International Film Festival of Delhi 2026, saying he hasn't seen it yet but has heard "only praises" everywhere.[1][2] But amid the celebrations, juicy casting rumors exploded: Was **Aamir Khan** ever approached for the role of Ajay Sanyal, ultimately played by R. Madhavan?[3] The gossip started on Reddit's r/BollyBlindsNGossip, claiming casting director Mukesh Chhabra pitched the part to Aamir, who turned it down as "not appropriate" for him.[3] Sources even alleged Aamir suggested an Ajit Doval biopic instead, focusing on the spy's early life, and later showed interest in another character (Rehman Dakait's) but wanted political tones dialed back—changes director Aditya Dhar reportedly rejected to stick to his vision.[3] Fans went wild online, debating how Aamir's perfectionist touch might have altered the film.[3] Not so fast. A source close to the production shut it all down, calling the rumors "**untrue and baseless**." They confirmed **Aamir was never approached** for any role in *Dhurandhar 2*, and no biopic talks happened with Aditya Dhar's team.[4] This debunking aligns with the original Times of India report clarifying no such offer was made.[user-provided link, as specified] These back-and-forth stories highlight Bollywood's rumor mill at work—thrilling for fans, but often just smoke without fire. *Dhurandhar 2*'s success proves the final cast nailed it, yet it's fun to "what if" with Aamir involved.
