Mahabharat Marks the Beginning of Aamir Khan’s Retirement
Describing Mahabharat as a story with immense scale, emotion, and universal appeal, Aamir reflected, “It’s layered, it has emotion, it has scale, everything you find in the world, you will find in Mahabharat.” He hinted that the project’s magnitude could make it the culmination of his illustrious career. “Maybe after doing this, I will feel that I have nothing left to do. I cannot do anything after this, as the material of this film is going to be like that,” he said.
Known for his meticulous approach and passion for perfection, Aamir Khan has carried the dream of making Mahabharat for years. When asked if this could be his last film, he added thoughtfully, “I hope that I die with my shoes on, but since you are asking, this is the one thing I can think of. Perhaps after this, I will feel that I don’t need to do anything else.”
In an earlier interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Aamir emphasized the project’s vast scope, acknowledging that developing the script alone would take years. He has yet to decide whether he will act in the film, stating, “We’ll see who we should cast based on who’s appropriate for which part.”
Aamir Khan also indicated that Mahabharat will not be a single film but a multi-part cinematic universe. “I don’t think you can tell the Mahabharat in one film, so it will be multiple films. I am looking at the large scale,” he said, hinting at the need for multiple directors to complete the project on time.
On the personal front, Aamir Khan confirmed he is in a relationship with Bangalore-based entrepreneur Gauri Spratt.
As anticipation builds around Aamir’s upcoming films and this ambitious project, fans and industry watchers await what could be one of the most monumental cinematic ventures in Indian film history.
