Actor Aamir Khan has hinted at his final film project, which could be a grand cinematic spectacle. The 60-year-old, who has spoken about his desire to make ‘Mahabharat’ for long, stated that the epic-drama might be his last movie. “I hope I die with my shoes on…” he said while talking about the film. The ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ actor feels that the grandeur of this project is going to be such that after making the film based on India’s ancient text by sage Ved Vyas, he will have nothing else left to do.
The superstar raved about the sheer grandeur and emotional resonance of ‘Mahabharat’ in a podcast with Raj Shamani. While speaking about the scale of creating the epic on-screen, he said, “It’s layered, it has emotion, it has scale, everything you find in the world, you will find in ‘Mahabharat’.”
He further said, “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.”
The actor concluded, “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 a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Aamir spoke about his vision for ‘Mahabharat’ and said, “That’s one of my biggest ambitions. We’ll see who we should cast based on who’s appropriate for which part.”
The actor further said, “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.” While pointing out that the film might need multiple directors, he concluded, “To complete it within a set time, we will need more than one director.”
Aamir is currently gearing up for his sports drama ‘Sitaare Zaameen Par,’ scheduled to release on June 20, 2025. He will also be seen in Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie,’ directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.
The actor is also producing Sunny Deol’s period-drama ‘Lahore 1947’, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi.
