Aamir Khan has finally addressed the swirling rumours that he might retire after making Mahabharata, a passion project he has spoken about for years. The speculation stemmed from a recent podcast appearance where his comments were misinterpreted, leading fans to believe that the magnum opus would mark the end of his acting career.
Setting the record straight during the Fan Club segment on Zoom, Aamir said, “Mahabharata is not going to be my last film. Abhi chakkar yeh hain aap kuch bhi bolo, uska wrong meaning humesha nikal aata hai.” He explained that the original question posed to him was hypothetical about a film so fulfilling that he wouldn’t feel like doing anything afterward. “Material wise mujhe ek hi cheez nazar aati hai jismein voh power hai… Maine uska jawab iss context mein diya tha. Logon ko laga Mahabharata meri last film hai,” he said.
Aamir urged fans to listen to the full context of his comments before jumping to conclusions. His clarification comes as a relief to fans who were worried the superstar would exit the industry after his long-awaited take on the epic.
In his earlier chat with entrepreneur Raj Shamani, Aamir had spoken passionately about Mahabharata, calling it layered, emotional, and vast in scale. “Har cheez jo duniya me hai woh aapko Mahabharat me milegi,” he had said, reflecting his deep emotional investment in the project. He did admit that the film could give him a sense of creative closure, but nowhere did he confirm retiring.
Before diving into Mahabharata, Aamir is gearing up for the release of his next film, Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna. The film, also starring Genelia Deshmukh, is set to hit theatres on June 20.
