re-creating a mega blockbuster on the
mythology Mahabharata', it sparked a
lot of excitement, especially as it would
have had an A-list casting, including
Khan himself. But now there are
rumours the whole idea has been
shelved.
Reported on Deccan Chronicle, Khan had
also at one point decided against a
movie idea and instead turn it into a
web series, but according to sources the
Secret Superstar' (2017) actor has
decided not to pursue this project
altogether. Why? The source
shares, "After weighing the pros and
cons, Aamir has decided not to make a
movie or series. For one, it would
become controversial. But more
importantly, the scale at which the
project was being planned was not
commercially viable. He would have to set
aside five years for the project, which
would mean losing out on at least three
films. So there's going to be no
Mahabharata.
Khan has been busy working on his
forthcoming film Thugs Of Hindostan'
which hosts an impressive all-star cast,
with Amitabh Bachchan, Fatima Sana
Sheikh, Katrina Kaif, Ronit Roy and Mouni
Roy. The film is slated to release in
November 2018.
