Bollywood's own Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, is setting his sights on an epic project that promises to redefine cinematic history. Khan recently described the Hindu epic Mahabharata as the "mother of all" big Hollywood movies, emphasizing its monumental scale and profound narrative depth. In his vision, Mahabharata stands toe-to-toe with the likes of Hollywood's biggest fantasy blockbusters.
In an interview with CNN-News18, Aamir Khan lauded Mahabharata not just as a tale, but a cultural cornerstone. He compared its intricacy and emotional richness to global hits like The Lord of the Rings and Avatar, yet he believes Mahabharata surpasses them with its timeless appeal and cultural significance.
“Mahabharata is not just another movie project for me but possibly one of the most important creative endeavors of my life,” Khan shared with palpable enthusiasm.
Khan's connection to the Mahabharata is deeply personal and culturally profound. He recognizes the epic's integral role in Indian heritage, a story woven into the fabric of the nation for generations.
