According to the report in Bollywood Hungama, the actor has just put the project on hold and would not give up on it as it is his ambitious project.

Once in, he won’t withdraw,” says the source, adding that the project is only dormant for a while.

The source added, “The scale on which Aamir plans to make the Mahabharat makes it a very expensive project. And Aamir wants to cast only A-listers.” There have been many names that were rumoured to be approached. While there was news that the actor was keen on playing Krishna, Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan were also approached to play pivotal parts.
