Aamir Khan confirms Mahabharata will commence in 2025

In case you thought Aamir was stopping his Bollywood comeback with Taare Zameen Par sequel Sitaare Zameen Par, you couldn't be more mistaken.

He confirmed that work on the ambitious project will commence in 2025 itself, but there are major terms and conditions attached.

Mahabharata, a la Lord of The Rings

Mahabharata has Lord of The Rings twist. Aamir has shared that the movie would be made and released in various installments, much like Lord of The Rings. The actor also stated that the writing for the movie will not begin immediately because that itself would take many years.

The cast for Mahabharata finalized?

Aamir Khan maintained silence over the speculation for Mahabharata casting process. Various names have come up over the years, but the Ghajini actor simply said that they will have to see who would be cast as what, depending on the script.

Mahabharata multi-director project like YRF Spy Universe?
