Aamir Khan says he doesn’t want to do a ‘bad job’ while adapting Mahabharata: ‘It’s a big responsibility’

Aamir Khan has previously spoken about his dream project, Mahabharata. In a recent interaction, the Ghajini actor admitted that he cannot afford to do a “bad job” while adapting the epic. He added that he is mindful of the responsibility to make Indians proud, which is why he wants to take his time before taking the project forward.

Speaking to News18, Aamir talked about the significance of Mahabharata to Indians. He said, “That’s my dream, let’s see if it becomes a reality one day. I really would love to have the opportunity to do that, but it is a big responsibility. Indians are so strongly connected, it is in our blood. I don’t think there is any Indian who hasn’t read the Bhagavad Gita or, at the very least, heard it from their grandmother. Making a film, which is so fundamental for all Indians, is also a big responsibility. I often say this, ‘You can let Mahabharata down, Mahabharata will never let you down.’ You do a bad job, you’ll let it down. I want to make sure that if I ever make this film, I make it in such a way that all Indians feel really proud.”
