Actor and producer Aamir Khan has said that his long-gestating project Mahabharata might be the last film he works on. In a recent appearance on Raj Shamani’s podcast, Khan discussed his future plans, noting that once Sitaare Zameen Par is released, he plans to fully commit to developing Mahabharata.“It’s layered, it has emotion, it has scale. Everything you find in the world, you will find in Mahabharata,” Khan said. He added that the story has been important to him for many years and that he’s always hoped to bring it to the screen.When asked about the possibility of Mahabharata being his final film, Khan replied, “Maybe after doing this, I will feel that I have nothing left to do.”Khan has previously spoken about the scale of Mahabharata, calling it one of his most ambitious ideas. He told The Hollywood Reporter that even developing the script would take years. On the podcast, he reiterated that the film will likely be made in multiple parts and involve several directors to manage the scope of the story. “I don’t think you can tell the Mahabharata in one film,” he said.As for casting, Khan said it is not yet decided whether he will appear in the film himself. “We’ll see who we should cast based on who’s appropriate for which part,” he explained. Khan said the project is still in the early stages, but if it comes together as planned, it could be the largest production of his career, and possibly his last. Published – June 01, 2025 11:25 am IST
