Actor Imran Khan has officially dismissed rumours linking him to an upcoming biopic based on entrepreneur Ashneer Grover. Responding to recent reports, the actor clearly stated that he has no connection to the project and had not even heard about it.
According to reports, Imran reacted to the speculation by saying, “I have not even heard of this project. This is not true.” With that statement, he shut down ongoing rumours suggesting he was set to portray the former BharatPe co-founder on screen.
How the Rumours Started
Earlier media reports had claimed that Imran Khan was the frontrunner for the lead role in the proposed Ashneer Grover biopic. Some reports even suggested he was undergoing look tests for the film.
The buzz quickly gained attention online because Imran Khan’s return to acting has already become a major topic among fans. After years away from mainstream cinema, any new project linked to him naturally creates headlines.
Other Names Linked to the Project
The same round of speculation had also connected several other industry names to the film.
Reports claimed Aamir Khan could be involved as a producer, while Shraddha Kapoor was also reportedly linked to the cast. The project was said to be associated with filmmaker Rahul Mody.
However, with Imran Khan now denying his involvement, it raises questions about how much of the earlier speculation was accurate.
Focus Now on Comeback Film
Instead of the rumored biopic, Imran Khan is currently focused on his acting comeback through the upcoming Netflix film Adhoore Hum Adhoore Tum.
That project is expected to mark his proper return after a long break from films. For many fans, this comeback film remains far more important than unconfirmed rumours.
Why the Rumour Spread Fast
The Ashneer Grover story itself has strong cinematic elements—startup success, television fame, controversy, and a recognizable public image. That makes any biopic based on him instantly headline-worthy.
Combine that with Imran Khan’s comeback curiosity, and the rumour had all the ingredients to spread quickly.
Public Reaction Online
Online reactions were mixed. Some fans were curious to see Imran in an unconventional role, while others questioned whether the pairing made sense.
There was also discussion suggesting the news may have been a “perception test” to gauge audience reaction before any formal announcement. However, there is no confirmed evidence supporting that theory.
Final Thoughts
Imran Khan’s direct response leaves little room for confusion—he is not part of the Ashneer Grover biopic, at least as of now.
This is another reminder that early casting rumours often move faster than facts in Bollywood. Until makers officially announce a film, most such reports should be treated cautiously.
For now, Imran Khan’s real focus appears to be his Netflix comeback, not a startup biopic.
