Aamir Khan Keen On Starring In Indian Remake Of The Spanish Sports Drama Campeones, To Play A Drunken Coach: Reports

Aamir Khan is presently keeping busy with his film Laal Singh Chadha which is the official Hindi adaptation of the Tom Hanks film Forrest Gump. Also planning ahead the actor seems to be quite taken by another foreign film which we hear he plans on adapting to Indian sensibilities.

The Bollywood superstar is said to in talks with filmmaker RS Prasanna to adapt the 2018 Spanish film Campeones for a Hindi remake. According to a Pinkvilla report the actor has already met the filmmaker four times and is seemingly keen on getting on board to play a drunken and arrogant coach in an inspirational sports drama.

The film is an underdog tale where the coach trains an intellectually disabled team which goes on to win multiple championships all over the world. The coach too journeys from being an alcoholic to a sober man. According to the report while the original film is focused on basketball, makers of the Indian adaptation are yet to finalise on a sport to suit Indian audiences.

“It falls right in the alley of Aamir Khan with humour, emotion, inspiration and drama. In-fact, these are the factors that has drawn the actor closer to this hidden Spanish gem, and he has been positive on coming on board the film in all the discussions gone by so far. The script is being developed, and Aamir will take a final call around Summer 2021, once he completes work on post production Laal Singh Chaddha,” a source told the portal.

In the meantime, Aamir aims at bringing his film Laal Singh Chadha to the big screen by the end of 2021.
