Rakesh Sharma biopic titled, Saare Jahaan Se Achcha is making headlines ever since reports of Shah Rukh Khan stepping down from the film came out. The film has been the talk of the town over its casting. Initially, Aamir Khan was approached to play the lead but due to prior work commitments, the Dangal star had to opt out and he recommended Shah Rukh Khan’s name. The makers of the film considered SRK’s name and reportedly, the superstar even agreed to do the film. However, the fresh reports on the film stated that the makers of Rakesh Sharma biopic have approached Vicky Kaushal to step into SRK's shoes after he reportedly backed out of the film. Although there's no official confirmation on the same.

Recent reports also stated that Vicky was recently spotted outside Saare Jahaan Se Achcha producer Siddharth Roy Kapur’s office in Mumbai following which speculation regarding his appearance in the film surfaced. Even though SRK kept mum about these reports, producer Ronnie Screwvala, at the trailer launch of Sushant Singh and Bhumi Pednekar’s Sonchariya, was asked about Shah Rukh opting out of the biopic and if Vicky is being considered as his replacement. To which he reacted saying, “we are not ready to say anything right now.”
