Batra
had
approached
him
for
a
film
on
the
life
of
spiritual
leader
Rajneesh,
popularly
known
as

but
the

said
he
is
waiting
for
a
bound
script
before
he
takes
a
decision.
Shakun
earlier
told
PTI
that
he
was
developing
a
story
on
Osho's
life.
He
had
said
that
it
would
be
an

and
he

to
right
people
on
board.
"He
(Shakun)
has
discussed
the
project
with
me.
I
am
waiting
to
hear
the

It
all
depends
on
how

turns
out," Aamir
said
in
an

here
on
his
involvement
with
the
film
on

Asked
about
the
status
of
Mogul,
which
he
was
going
to
produce
with
Bhushan
Kumar's
T-Series,
Aamir
said,
"You
must
have
read
the
statement.
That's
the
status."
The
actor
is
the
first
mainstream
name
to
have
taken
a
tough
stand
in
the
wake
of
#MeToo
movement.
Without
taking
any
names,
Aamir
had
announced
his
and
filmmaker-wife
Kiran
Rao's
departure
from
the
project
as
producers,
after
he
learnt
of
sexual
misconduct
allegations
against
director
Subhash
Kapoor.
Kapoor
is
no
longer
helming
the
film.
Asked
if
there
was
any
development
with
regards
to
Mogul,
he
replied
in
the
negative.
Aamir
was
recently
in
New
Delhi
where
he
met
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
along
with
other
members
from
the
film
industry.
Commenting
on
the
exchange,
the
actor
said,
"It
was
a
good
meeting.
We
discussed
some
of
the
issues
that
the
industry
is
facing."
The
53-year-old
superstar
was
recently
spotted
at
an
airport
holding
a
copy
of
The
Condensed
Mahabharata
by
Vyasa,
fueling
rumours
that
he
has
started
work
on
his
most
ambitious
project
"Mahabharata".
Reports
say
he
will
start
work
after
the
release
of
Thugs
of
Hindostan.
Asked
about
the
speculation,
Aamir
said
he
is
yet
to
zero
in
on
his
next
project.
"I
have
no
idea
what
I
am
doing
next.
There
are
always
lots
of
talks
for
everything.
I
am
not
committed
for
anything
right
now.
I
have
not
thought
what
I
will
do
next.
I
am
right
now
focused
on
'Thugs
of
Hindostan',"
he
said.
