Aamir Khan says it is his dream to make Mahabharat: 'Let's see if I'll have a role in it to play'

Aamir Khan has recently spoken about his ambition to bring the epic saga Mahabharat to the big screen. He described it as a “dream project” in his career and revealed that he is now actively considering the long-anticipated adaptation of the mythology. He also hinted at the possibility of taking on a role himself.
In a recent interaction with ABP News, Aamir shared, “It is my dream to make Mahabharat, so maybe now I'll be able to think of that dream. Let's see if I'll have a role in it to play.”
Khan also expressed his growing interest in creating more content for children, as he believes this genre is underexplored in Indian cinema. He added that people usually import such films from abroad, dub them locally, and release them, which made him consider making movies for children.
The actor, who will turn 60 next month, shared his vision for the next decade. He aims to produce more films and nurture fresh talent through his banner.

Khan referenced his recent production 'Laapataa Ladies', directed by Kiran Rao, which spotlighted emerging actors Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, and Sparsh Shrivastava.
The '3 Idiots' star also reflected on the structural changes he hopes to see in Bollywood. “As creative people, we should give a lot more value to writers; this is one thing I would like to change in the industry. We should give value in terms of time and money to writers,” Khan emphasised.

He also pointed out the disparity in cinema infrastructure between India and countries like China. He expressed his wish for more cinema halls to cater to a broader audience.
Aamir Khan will next be seen in 'Sitaare Zameen Par', a sequel to his acclaimed 2007 directorial debut 'Taare Zameen Par'.
