Mumbai: Bollywood star Aamir Khan has made bold plans that could be the most significant chapter in his filmmaking career as he prepares for the release of his next movie, Sitaare Zameen Par. Speaking on entrepreneur Raj Shamani’s podcast, Aamir shared how deeply the ancient Indian epic resonates with him and hinted that the scale of the venture could be so vast that it may well become his swan song. “It’s layered, it has emotion, it has scale, everything you find in the world, you will find in Mahabharat,” he said, reflecting on the depth and universality of the story.
When asked what the theme of his last film would be, Aamir said, “It’s my dream to make Mahabharat, and I will start working on it after the release of Sitaare Zameen Par on June 20. I feel like that’s one project which, once I’ve done it, might leave me with the feeling that there’s nothing more I can do after that. Because the material is like that — it’s layered, emotional, vast in scale, and full of grandeur. Everything that exists in the world can be found in the Mahabharat.”
He added, “Well, I hope I die with my shoes on. Like AK Hangal ji used to say, ‘I want to die while working’—that’s what all of us wish for. Lekin agar aap puch rahe hai toh main ek hi cheez jo main soch sakta hun toh voh yeh hai ki shayad Mahabharat karne ke baad mere andar voh emotion aaye ki bus iske baad mujhe kuch nahi karna hai. Shayad, I don’t know” (But if you’re asking, then the only thing I can think of is that maybe after doing Mahabharat, I feel an emotion that I don’t want to do anything beyond that. Maybe, I don’t know).
