Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor might be the next actor to step into the shoes of Gulshan Kumar for the much-anticipated biopic, Mogul. The film will showcase the extraordinary life of Gulshan Kumar, who was famously known as the Cassette King and revolutionized the Indian music industry. The biopic, being produced by T-Series head Bhushan Kumar, aims to bring to life the legacy of his late father, Gulshan Kumar, who played an instrumental role in shaping the music industry in India.
Work on ‘Mogul’ Restarts
Though discussions about the Mogul biopic have been circulating for a while, it seems the project is now gaining momentum again. According to a report from PeepingMoon, after several delays, Bhushan Kumar is once again moving forward with this special project. The biopic is being revamped with fresh inputs, including changes to its script and the formation of a new team of writers to tell the story more powerfully.
While a release timeline for the film is yet to be confirmed, sources have indicated that the project is currently a top priority for T-Series.
Director Change and Script Revamp
Initially, it was reported that Subhash Kapoor was to direct the biopic, but now he is no longer associated with the film. With a completely new direction and updated vision, the team is working hard to revitalize this film project that has been in the making for several years.
Ranbir Kapoor in Talks for the Lead Role
Ranbir Kapoor, who has been praised for his previous biographical roles, including the acclaimed Sanju, has reportedly shown interest in playing Gulshan Kumar in Mogul. Sources reveal that Bhushan Kumar has approached Ranbir for the role, but the actor’s packed schedule until 2026 might make it difficult for him to commit. While no official statement has been released by either Ranbir or the production team, talks are ongoing, and fans are hopeful for an announcement soon.
Ayushmann Khurrana and Varun Dhawan as Potential Leads
If Ranbir Kapoor is unable to take on the role, Bhushan Kumar is considering Ayushmann Khurrana or Varun Dhawan as potential alternatives for the part. Both actors have demonstrated versatility and charisma in their recent films, making them strong contenders for portraying the music mogul on the big screen.
Ayushmann, known for his unique choice of roles, and Varun, a fan favorite, could bring different yet dynamic portrayals to the biopic if Ranbir passes on the project. As of now, no confirmations have been made, but the speculation surrounding the casting is generating excitement among Bollywood fans.
What’s Next for Mogul?
With Mogul back on track and fresh developments underway, the excitement for this biopic continues to build. The film promises to offer a closer look at Gulshan Kumar’s journey from a humble background to becoming the uncrowned king of the music industry.
