Sushant Singh Rajput denies starring in Aamir Khan, T-Series' Gulshan Kumar biopic Moghul

Sushant Singh Rajput has denied the reports that he has been approached to play the role of Gulshan Kumar in the late music legend’s biopic Moghul. The actor’s spokesperson issued a statement, “This has reference to the speculation stating that Sushant Singh Rajput is working in Mogul. These are completely baseless rumours. Sushant Singh Rajput is not associated with the film and we deny his involvement in the project.” After Akshay Kumar's exit from Aamir Khan-produced Gulshan Kumar biopic Mogul  due to differences over the script, it was reported that the makers offered _Sanju_ star Ranbir Kapoor the role of the late music baron. In another development,  DNA reported that Sushant Singh Rajput has also been approached for the project. [caption id=“attachment_2976362” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] Sushant Singh Rajput.

The source also said, “Sushant Singh Rajput has been approached now. He has read the script and shown interest. He might even give his nod and work out the modalities soon. This might be his next to next project.” Rajput is not new to biopics as he already has  MS Dhoni: The Untold Story  under his belt. He is currently filming the Hindi adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars titled Kizi aur Manny  alongside debutant Sanjana Sanghi . The actor is also set to star in a yet-to-be-titled web series where he will play  12 real-life characters , including political strategist Chanakya, poet Rabindranath Tagore and former Indian president APJ Abdul Kalam.
