Aamir Khan has confirmed that he will commence work on his long-gestating magnum opus ‘Mahabharat’, just weeks after the phenomenal success of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’.
In an interview with Screen, Khan revealed his plans to begin the project in August, adding that it will take shape as a series of back-to-back films. “You can’t tell the Mahabharat in just one film. And you know, the Mahabharat is very dangerous. It’s a story that runs in my blood. I need to tell it, and I’m starting work on it,” he said.
The actor-producer also shared a bold casting vision, stating, “I don’t plan to take any known faces. For me, the characters are the stars. I’m thinking of an entirely new cast.”
Khan had hinted earlier this year that ‘Mahabharat’ might be his final cinematic project, describing it as a personal and creative summit. “Once I’ve done it, I might feel there’s nothing more I can do after that,” he said in previous interviews, underscoring the film’s emotional and artistic significance.
