Aamir Khan Says Mahabharat Development Underway, Scripting to Begin Within Two Months

Khan envisions a multi‑film 'yagna' built over years with role‑first casting.

Overview

  • In a new interview, Khan said internal preparations have begun and he expects formal scripting to start within the next one to two months.
  • He reiterated that the epic will unfold across multiple films because a single feature cannot cover the story.
  • Khan cautioned that the writing phase will span years and suggested the scale could involve multiple directors.
  • He plans to produce the project and has not decided whether he will act in it or direct any installment.
  • Casting will prioritize suitability for each role, with Khan signaling a preference for largely unknown faces, and separate reports say he is in talks for a Dadasaheb Phalke biopic with Rajkumar Hirani.
