Aamir Khan, an Indian superstar, expressed interest in the Spanish movie Campeones, which translates to 'champions' in English. This attracted a lot of attention in India. It arrived immediately before Laal Singh Chaddha's release. According to rumours, Aamir has a different vision for the movie and is quite picky about who he chooses to play the hero. Since its announcement, it has seen a wild ride of rumours and reports.

We all initially accepted the news that Aamir will only produce the film rather than acting in it. “Who will act?” Asked the netizens, “Salman Khan!” Replied the reports. Yep, Slamaniacs (that’s what they’re calling themselves these days) burst into excitement hearing Bhai is going to team up with Aamir and do a mashup of Chak De! India + Lagaan + Dangal.

Even though Salman enjoyed the scrip, his dates and schedule prevented him from proceeding, hence the delight did not last for long. Then, what took place?

Another actor has joined the project with Ranbir Kapoor today. Recall Ranbir's distinctive cameo after PK's climax? Finally, everyone was delighted to be collaborating on a movie. But unfortunately, even that has allegedly been debunked.

Our reliable sources claim that, “Campeones remake is very close to Aamir Khan‘s heart and he’s looking for someone perfect, if not Salman Khan. The news of approaching Ranbir Kapoor wasn’t true. Aamir is in talks with Farhan Akhtar for headlining Champions. It makes perfect sense to him after Farhan delivers a brilliant performance in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.”

The source continues, “Farhan has already gone through the script and he has loved it. He’s keen to do more reading sessions for the same. Dates are a bit of an issue, as he has a plate full of projects to look at as a Producer, Director, Writer and Actor. But, he’s already planning to squeeze in ‘Champions’ to his upcoming lineup.”

A former minor-league basketball coach who is mandated by the court to coach a team of players with intellectual disabilities is the subject of the Spanish film ‘Campeones’.
