Aamir Khan to play a doting father in Hindi remake of Maharaja

Aamir Khan, who is busy with the shooting of his upcoming movie Sitaare Zameen Par, is all set to play a "doting father" in the Hindi version of Maharaja. A source told Deccan Chronicle, "Aamir has bought the remake rights of the film which is also doing well on OTT for its heart-wrenching content revolving around father and daughter but also has enough action to reach out to masses,” the source added.

The actor would play the father's role since he has tasted success with Dangal. The source added that Aamir doesn't mind playing a father if he likes the script.  "The movie like Maharaja would aptly fit into his scheme of things which harps on atrocities against girls and women becoming rampant across India," the source added.
