Aamir Khan Embarks on Ambitious ‘Mahabharata’ Film Project
Bollywood icon Aamir Khan initiates the monumental task of adapting the epic ‘Mahabharata’ for the big screen, expressing both excitement and apprehension about the responsibility it entails.
Bollywood actor and filmmaker Aamir Khan has officially commenced work on his long-envisioned adaptation of the Indian epic, the Mahabharata. In a recent interaction with the media, Khan revealed that the project is in its nascent stages, with a team currently being assembled to undertake the complex writing process.
Khan has long referred to the Mahabharata as his “dream project,” acknowledging the immense cultural significance and the challenges associated with bringing such a revered narrative to the screen. He previously likened the endeavor to performing a “yagna,” emphasizing the depth and sanctity of the task.
To manage the project’s vast scope, Khan is considering a production approach similar to that of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, which involved simultaneous shooting across multiple units. This method may necessitate the involvement of several directors to adhere to a feasible timeline.
While the project is still in its early phases, Khan’s commitment marks a significant step toward realizing a cinematic rendition of one of India’s most cherished epics. As the team embarks on this ambitious journey, further updates are anticipated in the coming months.
