Nitesh Tiwari, the man behind Bollywood’s most successful film till date, Dangal, has his hands full. The director is collaborating with producer Sajid Nadiadwala for a venture and also penning a script alongside.

Now, SpotboyE.com has it that a la Dangal, Nitesh is planning to approach Siddharth Roy Kapur and Ronnie Screwvala for producing this script which is in the nascent stages. The duo co-produced Dangal as well and the three seemed to have worked well as a team.
Says a source, “Both Siddharth and Ronnie have moved out of Disney UTV, but if all goes well, they will join hands for this project. Nitesh is keen to begin working on this film before Sajid's film goes on floors.”

Nitesh had pitched Dangal to Siddharth and Ronnie back in 2013 when Ronnie was about to quit as MD of the Walt Disney Company India and hand over the reins to his protégé Siddharth. During the narration, the two happened to ask Nitesh as to who does he think is fit to essay the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat.
Although, he didn’t write the film with anyone in mind, he was convinced that Aamir Khan is the right choice.
Nitesh then met Aamir at his residence with Siddharth in tow and discussed the film. The superstar gave a nod instantly but made it clear that he may not be able to film the project immediately.

Needless to say, Nitesh and Co. waited for Aamir and the rest, as they say, is history.
