Aamir Khan hints Mahabharat could be his final film: 'I may not be able to do anything after this'
Actor Aamir Khan spoke candidly about his long-standing dream project — a film adaptation of the Mahabharat. The actor, known for his selective approach to films, said this may very well be the last movie he ever works on. In a recent conversation on entrepreneur Raj Shamani's podcast, Aamir Khan candidly confessed, 'Look, it's a dream of mine to make the Mahabharat. I'll start working on it after the release of 'Sitaare Zameen Par', which is on June 20,' Khan said. 'I feel that this is a project — once I do it, I might feel like I may not be able to do anything after that, because the material is so powerful.' Khan described the epic as 'layered, emotional, vast in scale, and filled with grandeur,' adding, 'Everything that exists in the world can be found in the Mahabharat.' While he hinted at the possibility of retirement after this magnum opus, the actor also expressed his desire to keep working for as long as he can. 'I do hope I die with my shoes on — like AK Hangal — working till the end. That's something we all hope for,' he added. The announcement has stirred excitement among fans, especially as Mahabharat is expected to be one of the most ambitious projects in Indian cinema. Khan's emotional connection to the project and its scale suggest that it could be the defining film of his career — and possibly his last. Aamir Khan is currently preparing for his upcoming sports drama 'Sitaare Zaameen Par', which is set to hit cinemas on June 20, 2025. He will also appear alongside Rajinikanth in 'Coolie', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. In addition to acting, Aamir is producing 'Lahore 1947', a period drama starring Sunny Deol and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi.

Aamir Khan hints at hanging up his shoes after Mahabharata adaptation: ‘I will feel that I don't need to do anything else'
Aamir Khan is gearing up for the release of his next film, Sitaare Zameen Par, but he seems even more enthusiastic about producing an adaptation of the Mahabharata. In a recent interview, the actor-filmmaker said that once he brings the epic to the screen, there would be nothing more left for him to achieve. In a podcast with Raj Shamani, Aamir said he believes the grandeur of the Mahabharata adaptation is such that, after making a film based on India's ancient epic by sage Ved Vyas, he would have nothing more left to accomplish. He said, 'It's layered, it has emotion, it has scale, everything you find in the world, you will find in Mahabharata. 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.' '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,' the actor-filmmaker added. Earlier, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Aamir Khan spoke about his vision for Mahabharat. 'That's one of my biggest ambitions. We'll see who we should cast based on who's appropriate for which part. I don't think you can tell the Mahabharata in one film, so it will be multiple films. I am looking at the large scale,' he shared. Aamir also hinted that the adaptation might need multiple directors. Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zaameen Par is scheduled to hit screens on June 20.
