Aamir Khan plans Mahabharat film series for 2025 – will he join hands with S.S. Rajamouli?

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has always shown a strong interest in bringing the epic story of The Mahabharat to the big screen. Over the years, he has spoken about this dream project multiple times. But now, in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he gave a more solid update. Aamir said he hopes to finally start working on The Mahabharat film series in 2025.

Aamir Khan’s Dream Project – The Mahabharat

Aamir Khan revealed that making The Mahabharat is one of the biggest goals of his life. He plans to produce the movie himself. However, he also mentioned that the writing process will take a few years to complete. As for acting in the movie, Aamir hasn’t confirmed anything yet. In an older interview, he hinted at playing the role of Lord Krishna, so fans are curious if he will actually appear on screen.

A Multi-Film Series – Big Vision, Bigger Execution

Instead of making one single film, Aamir wants to create a series of movies based on The Mahabharat. He shared that the project is so huge that it cannot be told in just one movie. The plan is to shoot several parts at the same time, just like how The Lord of the Rings films were made. Because of this, multiple directors may be involved. It’s still not clear if Aamir will direct any part of the series, but there’s a good chance he might.

Masterstroke or Risky Gamble?

Starting work on The Mahabharat at this time could be both a smart move and a risky bet. On one hand, Bollywood has been struggling lately, with only a few films doing well. A big announcement like this from a respected actor like Aamir Khan could inspire the industry to think big again. It could bring back confidence and spark new interest in content-driven, big-budget movies.

On the other hand, making The Mahabharat is a big challenge. The epic is not just a story; it’s a sacred text for many. So, any adaptation will come with very high expectations—and the risk of criticism. Plus, such a huge film project will need a massive budget. It will take a lot of effort, money, and planning to make this dream come true.

Could S.S. Rajamouli Join Aamir Khan?

Interestingly, Aamir Khan is not the only one who dreams of making The Mahabharat. S.S. Rajamouli, the director of Baahubali and RRR, has also said he wants to make his own version of the epic. He had plans to do it after Baahubali, but instead made RRR. Now, he may begin work on it after his upcoming movie with Mahesh Babu.

Fans are now wondering—what if Aamir Khan and Rajamouli team up? Both are brilliant storytellers, and a collaboration could be the perfect way to bring this massive story to life. They’ve both expressed respect for each other in the past, so maybe this dream collaboration isn’t too far off.

Aamir Khan’s Next Movie – Sitaare Zameen Par

While The Mahabharat is still in the planning stage, Aamir Khan’s next movie is already set. Titled Sitaare Zameen Par, the film will release on June 20, 2025. Directed by R.S. Prasanna, Aamir will play a basketball coach who trains a team of players with intellectual disabilities. The movie also stars Genelia Deshmukh in an important role. It promises to be an emotional and inspiring story.
