Is Aamir Khan’s ‘dream project’ Mahabharat going to be his last film? Sitaare Zameen Par actor reveals TRUTH

Since Aamir Khan shared that he’s embarking on his next grand endeavor, based on the epic Indian tale Mahabharat, fans have been quite restless. The actor, who is preparing for the launch of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, aims to initiate work on this monumental production immediately following its release. Previously, Mr. Perfectionist had spoken about retiring, and now in a recent conversation, he subtly suggested that Mahabharat might be his final project.

Absolutely! The news you’ve heard is accurate. There’s a strong possibility that Aamir Khan might choose to retire after completing work on the Mahabharat project. While we can’t confirm this, Aamir himself hinted at this during a recent conversation with Raj Shamani in a podcast. When asked if he was planning his final film and what it would be about, Aamir paused thoughtfully before sharing an answer that might take you by surprise.

In response to the question, Aamir shared that his long-standing aspiration is to bring the epic Mahabharata to life on screen. He mentioned that he would commence work on this project immediately following the release of Sitaare Zameen Par. The star of Laal Singh Chadha further stated that after completing Mahabharata, he might feel as though there’s nothing more for him to accomplish, as the subject matter of this film is rich and complex with layers of emotion, scale, and every element found in the world will be reflected in it. The star added, “It’s layered, it has emotions, scale, everything you find in the world will be present in Mahabharata.

He also added humorously, “I hope I die with my shoes on, but the only thought crossing my mind as you ask is that perhaps after this, there’s nothing left for me to do, maybe.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter previously, Aamir expressed his passion for the Mahabharat project. He mentioned that this is one of his grandest aspirations and the writing stage alone might take a few years to complete. Aamir also shared that he will be part of the team as a producer. When asked if he plans to act in the film, Aamir left the decision open-ended, saying they would consider who would be best suited for each role based on the character’s appropriateness.

When queried about potentially directing the epic film, the actor expressed that the Mahabharata is a story too vast to be told in a single movie. Although he hasn’t confirmed his role as director yet, he hinted at the narrative being spread across several films. Consequently, if they wish to complete it within a specific timeframe, they may require more than one director to handle the project effectively.
