We
had
told
you
that
Aamir
Khan's
next
after
'Thugs
Of
Hindostan'
will
be
a
biopic
on
Indian
astronaut
Rakesh
Sharma.
Now,
here's
some
latest
update
on
the
same.
A
Mumbai
Mirror
report
suggests
that
the
film
has
been
titled
'Salute'.
Rakesh
Sharma,
along
with
Russian
astronauts
Yury
Malyshev
and
Gennadi
Strekalov
went
on
a
mission.
For
27
days,
21
hours
and
40
minutes,
the
trio
were
orbiting
out
in
the
space,
conducting
over
43
experimental
sessions.
After
returning
to
earth,
a
question
was
asked
to
Sharma
by
the
then
Prime
Minister
Indira
Gandhi.
He
was
asked,
what
did
India
look
like
from
outer
space.
To
this,
the
astronaut
had
said,"
Saare
jahan
se
achcha."
Because
of
this,
earlier
speculations
were
rifle
that
the
biopic
has
been
named
'Saare
Jahan
Se
Achcha'.
But
now,
it
has
been
revealed
that
it's
been
titled
'Salute'
and
will
be
produced
by
Sidharth
Roy
Kapur
and
Aamir
Khan
jointly.
A
Mumbai
Mirror
report
quoted
a
source
close
to
the
development
saying,
"Sid
had
approached
Aamir
with
the
script
of
his
last
film
and
this
time
too
he
went
straight
to
him.
The
2018
film
will
be
made
under
his
newly-launched
banner
RK
Films
(Roy
Kapur
Films).
It
will
be
directed
by
Mahesh
Mathai."
It
would
be
quite
interesting
to
watch
Aamir
play
yet
another
challenging
role!
