• 22 Apr 2025

Aamir Khan has time and again expressed his willingness to adapt the ancient epic The Mahabharat for the big screen. But this time, he has given a more concrete update about the ambitious cinematic venture. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the ‘Lagaan’ actor revealed that one of his biggest ambitions is to start working on The Mahabharat, which he is hoping to start sometime in the year 2025 itself.However, Aamir Khan also said the writing process will take a few years. He’ll be producing The Mahabharat, but he wasn’t sure whether he would play a role in the ambitious venture.We have a strong feeling that he will—Lord Krishna, perhaps, as he mentioned in an earlier interview.The 60-year-old actor-filmmaker further revealed that he has envisioned The Mahabharat not as a single movie, but as a multi-part film series. Since shooting them back-to-back will be time-consuming, the films are planned to be shot concurrently, so multiple directors might be involved. The way The Lord of the Rings films were made. Whether Aamir Khan himself will direct one of the Mahabharat movies or not was also not revealed. We think there is a strong possibility for that as well.
