Aamir Khan plans to start working on his dream project, The Mahabharat, this year. The film will be made in multiple parts, similar to The Lord of the Rings. Aamir Khan has often spoken about Mahabharata, his long-standing dream project.
Every now and then, rumours about the film emerges, only to die down. The superstar recently spoke about the film adaption of the epic. In a recent chat with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor shared plans for his next big project, where he’ll also be stepping in as a producer.
He called the film, The Mahabharat, one of his biggest dreams and said he hopes to start working on it this year. Said Aamir, “I’m hoping to start work on this year." He shared that The Mahabharat will be made in multiple parts, like the Lord of the Rings movies.
But he also said it won’t start right away, as the writing will take time. “It will take a while because the writing process will take a few years," he said. Aamir Khan said he’s not sure if he will act in The Mahabharat yet.
The team will pick actors based on who fits each role. “We’ll see who we should cast based on who’s appropriate for which part," he clarified. He also shared that he may not direct the film himself because it’s a big project and will need several films to tell the full story.
“I don’t think you can tell the Mahabharat in one film, so it will be multiple films. I am looking at the large scale." Noting that it maybe a multi-director project, he added, “It’s too early to say, but we may need multiple directors.
" On the work front, Aamir Khan was last seen in Laal Singh Chadha (2022), which tanked at the box office. Next, he will be seen Sitaare Zameen Par, a thematic sequel to his 2007 blockbuster, Taare Zameen Par. The film, directed by RS Prasanna, will see Aamir reunite with Taare Zameen Par actor Darsheel Safary and star opposite Genelia Deshmukh.
While a release date hasn’t been locked in yet, anticipation is high as fans await another heartwarming and transformative cinematic experience from Aamir..
