Shah Rukh Khan is always passionate about everything he does. Whether acting in movies, producing movies, working in commercials, or even doing a special cameo, he always wants to give his best. The superstar never shies away from learning from others and praising others for their incredible work. That’s why he is known as the King of Bollywood.
Did you know, that a few years ago, Shah Rukh Khan expressed interest in making Mahabharata? In the same interview, the Dunki star revealed why he hasn’t made the project yet. He also compared how it should be bigger than SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali movies.
Shah Rukh Khan told BollywoodLife in 2017, “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.”
Shah Rukh Khan 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 the superstar was asked if he was planning to collaborate with any international producers soon for the movie, Khan said he was extremely busy. When he gets the time, Mahabharata would be a lovely film to make. The Pathaan actor also revealed that he spoke to a few people, and they showed interest in making the movie. However, he also added that nothing concrete has happened yet.
Just like Shah Rukh Khan, even Aamir Khan had shown interest in making a Mahabharat movie. Even the Laal Singh Chaddha actor had called it his dream project. However, there was nothing confirmed about the same yet.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh has some exciting upcoming movies in his hands. He will get more into action mode for YRF’s Pathaan 2 and Tiger V Pathaan. The latter also stars Salman Khan, and his character will be pitted against SRK. The superstar is also a part of Ghosh’s next, which also stars Suhana Khan. However, there has yet to be an official confirmation about the same.
