Aamir Khan Reveals His Plans For Mahabharat

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Aamir reveals how he hopes to start working on the roject this year. “I always believe in stories and I have always loved stories. So, my ambition is to continue to tell stories which touch our hearts. The one other ambition that I have which I am hoping to start work on this year, is working on the Mahabharat. That’s one of my biggest ambitions. So, fingers crossed, hoping to start this year. It will take a while because just the writing process will take a few years.”

He was also asked if he will be a part of the project as an actor and as a producer. To this Aamir said, “As a producer; actor, we will see. We should cast based on who is appropriate for which part. So, I think as a producer for sure.”

Further while talking about which filmmaker will direct it, he said, “I don’t think you can tell Mahabharat in one film. So, it would be multiple films. It is too early to say, but we might need multiple directors if we have to plan it in a certain timeline. If we do one after the other, it will take very long; like they did it for The Lord Of The Rings. They shot three parts together. So, in that case, you might need more than one director.”
