Aamir Khan Announces 'Mahabharata' Film Series, Ambitious Plans Begin This Year
Aamir Khan Sets Ambitious Plans for 'Mahabharata' as a Multi-Part Film Series, Commencing Work This YearAamir Khan has officially announced his long-cherished dream project: a multi-part film series based on the epic 'Mahabharata'. In a recent interview, the actor revealed his ambitious vision, drawing comparisons to the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy in terms of scale and execution. He stated that work on this monumental project is expected to commence as early as this year.
Calling it "one of my biggest ambitions," Aamir Khan acknowledged the immense undertaking of adapting the 'Mahabharata' for the big screen. He emphasized that the writing process alone is expected to take several years, highlighting the depth and complexity of the source material.
Aamir envisions the 'Mahabharata' as a series of films, requiring a large-scale approach and potentially involving multiple directors to bring the epic's vast narrative to life within a reasonable timeframe. He cited the simultaneous shooting approach used for 'The Lord of the Rings' as a potential model for this ambitious venture.
While confirming his role as a producer under his banner Aamir Khan Productions, the actor remained non-committal about whether he would also star in the films. He stated that casting decisions would be made based on who is most appropriate for each character, prioritizing the authenticity of the portrayal.
This announcement ends years of speculation surrounding Aamir Khan's interest in adapting the 'Mahabharata'. Back in 2022, he had expressed his apprehension about taking on such a significant responsibility, viewing it as "not just a film" but "performing a yagya." It appears he has now embraced this challenge to embark on what he considers a deeply personal and spiritual journey.
The sheer scale of the project suggests a massive budget, with previous reports hinting at figures exceeding ₹1000 crore. Aamir Khan's commitment to meticulous storytelling and grand vision has generated considerable excitement among fans and the film industry alike.
In the meantime, Aamir Khan is gearing up for the release of 'Sitaare Zameen Par', a thematic sequel to his 2007 hit 'Taare Zameen Par', scheduled for release in June 2025. However, the announcement of his 'Mahabharata' film series has undoubtedly become the talking point, signaling a potentially groundbreaking chapter in Indian cinema.
