Shah Rukh Khan Just Confirmed Aamir Khan's Next Movie And We Have all The Deets About It
Osho biopic, Mogul or Mahabharata? Shah Rukh Khan knows Aamir Khan's next venture.
Aamir Khan has taken the Thugs of Hindostan failure very seriously and he wants to ensure history doesn't repeat itself. The actor is taking his own sweet time to announce his next big project and if certain reports are to believe, he's keen on adapting Mahabharata on the silver screen. While we read reports of how the actor may star in Gulshan Kumar biopic, Mogul, he distanced himself from the project after the #MeToo allegations were hurled upon its director, Subhash Kapoor. Now it seems he wants to focus on his mythological drama and Shah Rukh Khan even confirmed the role the Dangal actor is willing to reprise.

The actor has always been vocal about his fascination for Karna but since he doesn't have the right body to play the part, he'll be Krishna instead. And while we wonder if the actor is ready to splurge a huge amount on this movie, reports suggest that his team is developing Mahabharat as a seven-part web-series.
In a recent media interaction, writer Anjum Rajabali revealed why Aamir couldn't give his nod to Rakesh Sharma biopic, Saare Jahaan Se Achcha and the role eventually went to Shah Rukh Khan.
