Will be 'honoured' to play Vishwanathan Anand in Chess Grandmaster's biopic, says Aamir Khan

Superstar Aamir Khan shared that he would be honoured to play the lead in the much-anticipated biopic on the Indian Chess Grandmaster- Vishwanathan Anand, which is currently in the works and will be jointly produced by Aanand L Rai and Mahaveer Jain.

Aamir and Vishwanathan Anand recently came together for an online event to play chess and raise funds for members of the chess community affected by Covid-19. Their exciting game and conversation traversed various topics of interest that kept the audience glued.

The conversation soon drifted to the much-anticipated biopic on the Indian Grandmaster, which is currently in the works and will be jointly produced by Aanand L Rai's Colour Yellow Productions and Mahaveer Jain's Sundial Entertainment.

"Is that even a question?" replied Aamir Khan on being asked if he would be interested in playing the role of Anand in the film.

"It would not only be an honour and pleasure to play Vishy but it would also be highly exciting to get into his mind,” added Aamir.
