Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who is known as the King of Bollywood, has ruled the Hindi cinema for over 30 years now and isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. From acting in films, working in commercials to producing movies, or even doing a special cameo, he is passionate about everything he does and always wants to give his best.
A few years ago, during an interview Shah Rukh Khan expressed his desire to make Mahabharata and even revealed why he hasn’t made the project yet.He also said it should be made on a larger scale than SS Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali’.
In 2017 during a conversation with BollywoodLife, SRK said, “It’s my dream to make the Mahabharata for the screen. It’s been for years now. But I don’t think I have the budget to do that. I would love to do it, but I don’t think I could afford to. Unless I collaborate. But not with Indian producers. There have to be international producers on board for this one because Indian producers and Indian films have a limited market.”
He further added, “This one has to go out into the international markets. So you have to collaborate with someone who’s international. You don’t take up a subject like the Mahabharata and make it any less. It should be on the scale of a Baahubali or an even larger one.”
When asked if he was going to work with any foreign producers on the film anytime soon, the superstar said that he was very busy. He even expressed that Mahabharata would be a beautiful film to make when he has the time. The actor also disclosed that after speaking with a few people, some expressed interest in making the film. However, he added that nothing substantial had occurred as of yet.
Just like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan had also expressed interest in directing a Mahabharat film. The actor has even referred to it as his dream project. But as of yet, nothing on the same was confirmed.
On the work front, Shah Rukh has some exciting upcoming projects in his hands. He will be again seen in action mode with films like YRF’s ‘Pathaan 2’ and ‘Tiger Vs Pathaan’. Reportedly, the superstar is also part of Sujoy Ghosh’s forthcoming action thriller, which also stars his daughter Suhana Khan. However, there has not been any official announcement yet.
