Aamir Khan Feels It Is Not The Right Time To Make Mahabharat; Shelves The Project

Aamir Khan aka Mr Perfectionist of Bollywood was last seen on the big screen in Vijay Krishna Acharya’s 2018 film Thugs of Hindostan, alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh. It has been over two years and fans can’t wait to see him shine again. While the superstar has some very interesting films in the pipeline, latest reports have revealed that he has decided to put his dream project Mahabharat on hold for now.

In a report shared by Bollywood Hungama, a source revealed, “Aamir can’t afford to devote two years of his life to make a web series (Mahabharat was planned as a web series). He needs to quickly announce his presence in a big star-studded feature film directed by a reliable director.” But the reason was not only commerce-based. The source further added, “There were bound to be unsavoury controversies surrounding the project. Aamir feels now is not the right time to make the Mahabharat.”

This is the same project because of which Aamir had passed on the opportunity to star in Rakesh Sharma’s biopic. Well, currently the actor is gearing up for his next film Laal Singh Chaddha. Also featuring his 3 Idiots’ co-star Kareena Kapoor Khan, the comedy drama is being directed by Advait Chandan and is slated to release on Christmas this year.
