Aamir Khan Reveals What is Causing Delays for the Film Based on Mahabharata
Aamir Khan recently had an interview with BBC News, where he talked about his dream project, Mahabharata. The film was first announced in 2018 when writer Anjum Rajabali confirmed that Aamir would work on the project with a budget of Rs. 1000 crores.
Talking about why the film has not gone on the floors yet, Aamir said, “Well, that’s my dream project and it’s a very scary project. So huge and I am scared of getting it wrong. It’s a huge responsibility because as Indians, it’s something so close to us, it’s in our blood.”
Speaking about how he wants to be very meticulous while making the film, Aamir stated, “I want to get it right. I want to make every Indian proud. I also want to show the world what India has.” He further revealed he still does not know when the film will happen. “I don’t know if it will happen, but it’s something I want to work towards. So let’s see,” he concluded.
Aamir is currently busy promoting Laapataa Ladies in the West after the film was selected as India’s official entry to Oscars 2025. On the work front, he will next be seen in Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual sequel to his 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par. Also starring Darsheel Safary, and Genelia Deshmukh, the film has wrapped filming and will hit the theaters in 2025.
