Aamir Khan Shelves Mahabharat

The ever-enterprising  Aamir Khan’s wings seem to have been clipped  by the  debilitating failure of  Laal Singh Chaddha. One now hears  from  sources very close  to  the superstar-producer that Aamir has  called off his most ambitious project a  webseries based on the Mahabharat.

 The  lavish  super-costly  project has  been  troubled  from the start.  One heard that  Aamir not only wanted to produce and direct  the Mahabharat  he  also wanted to play Lord Krishna. But now the project is being  labeled as  “financially not feasible”.

Reliable  sources say the  financiers have backed out of Aamir’s Mahabharat as  “too risky”.

In the meanwhile S S Rajamouli   who was keen  on  doing his own interpretation of  the Mahabharat has also  put the  project on  hold  indefinitely.

One  now  hears  that producer Feroz Nadiadwala  plans a 5D version of the Mahabharat which sounds  more like  wishful thinking than a tenable project.
