Aamir Khan Calls Mahabharat One Of His 'Biggest Ambitions'

Bollywood: Recently, Aamir Khan has spoken about his ambitious adaptation of Mahabharat and why it will be something like The Lord of the Rings.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Aamir was asked about his ambitions for 2025, and the actor responded, "My ambition is to continue telling stories that touch our hearts. The one other ambition I have, on which I am hoping to start work this year, is working on the Mahabharat. That's one of my biggest ambitions. Fingers crossed, I am hoping to start this year. It will take a while because just the writing process will take a few years."

Aamir said that he will be associated with the project as a producer, but did not confirm if he would star in it too. When asked if he would direct the film, he revealed that he was planning to make it a series of three or more films. “You can't tell the Mahabharat in one film. So, I am looking at multiple films, and we might need multiple directors if we have to plan it in a certain timeline. If we do it one after the other, it will take a very long time. Like they did with The Lord of the Rings, where they shot all three parts together. (We'll do) Something like that?”

Aamir Khan will be next seen in Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual sequel to his 2008 film, Taare Zameen Par.
