“A source close to Aamir said that it has been Aamir’s wish to make Mahabharata for a long time and this s one step in that direction. As for the film itself, it will probably be the biggest motion picture made in India.

As for the actual filmmaking, the pre-production and set designing has already been started. Furthermore, Mahabharata is expected to be backed by a big Hollywood studio and is likely to go on floors in the early 2017.”
