It is not a secret that Mahabharata is Aamir Khan’s dream project. While the Bollywood superstar has been working on the film for years, he has finally answered if he ever plans to make it. In an exclusive
interview with CNN-News18, Aamir talked about Mahabharata and revealed that working on this film is a big responsibility. Therefore, the actor mentioned that he does not want to make it in haste and let people down.
“That’s my dream, let’s see if it becomes a reality one day. I really would love to have the opportunity to do that, but it is a big responsibility. Indians are so strongly connected, it is in our blood. I don’t think there is any Indian who hasn’t read the Bhagwat Gita or, at the very least, heard it from their grandmother. Making a film, which is so fundamental for all Indians, is also a big responsibility. I often say this, ‘You can let Mahabharata down, Mahabharata will never let you down.’ You do a bad job, you’ll let it down. I want to make sure that if I ever make this film, I make it in such a way that all Indians feel really proud,” Aamir told us.
“Over the years, we have seen a lot of Hollywood films which are big entertainers, Lord of the Rings or Avatar. The world has seen it all. But this (Mahabharata) is the mother of it all. So I think Indians will be really proud if it comes out well. I am taking my time because I want to make sure I get it right,” the actor added.
Reportedly, Mahabharata will be Aamir Khan’s last film. In June 2025, the actor hinted at the same while speaking to Raj Shamani and said, “Maybe after doing this, I will feel that I have nothing left to do. I cannot do anything after this, as the material of this film is going to be like that.”
