Aamir is always challanging himself!

While he will be playing the role of a wrestler in the upcoming Dangal, we are already hearing rumors of his next big role!

According to Bollywood Life, Aamir Khan's next film might venture into space! The star will be portraying Rakesh Sharma, India's first astronaut.

While biopics are increasingly common in Bollywood, this may be the first film where the idea of space will be explored.

For now, Khan is wrapped up in his shoot for Dangal where he plays wrestler Mahavir Phogat. Sources reveal, “Aamir will play Rakesh Sharma in his next film. He is all set to move from playing a pehalwan to now going out to space.”

Somewhere , perhaps a decade or more from now, an Indian astronaut will be put in space using an Indian booster and an Indian crew capsule. ( I hope Aamir Khan will find that mission "safe" and not something to run away from India) :):):)

I am excited and really hope they make this movie.....Rakesh Sharma was born in 1949, Patiala (Punjab) and first Indian to go in outer space.....When Indira Gandhi asked him how India looked from outer space, Sharma said "Saare Jahan Se Achcha (the best in the world)"

If it is made by the director of English film "Gravity" then it will be Oscar caliber, but if it is made by desi, it will be terrible.

We Pakistan should emulate India in space technology. We alnong with India need to eradicate poverty levels to at least that extents that no one goes to sleep without meal. Our citizens are our assets. Leaving poor behind is not progress.

For Rakesh Sharma's role, a young south Indian actor is a much better option.And there are plenty of talented people out there.
