Aamir Khan, in a recent podcast, has revealed that Mahabharat might be his last film.

In a conversation with podcaster Raj Shamani, when asked what the theme of his last film would be Aamir said, "It’s my dream to make Mahabharat, and I will start working on it after the release of Sitaare Zameen Par on June 20. I feel like that’s one project which, once I’ve done it, might leave me with the feeling that there’s nothing more I can do after that. Because the material is like that — it’s layered, emotional, vast in scale, and full of grandeur. Everything that exists in the world can be found in Mahabharat."

He added, "Well, I hope I die with my shoes on. Like AK Hangal ji used to say, ‘I want to die while working’—that’s what all of us wish for. But if you're asking, then the only thing I can think of is that maybe after doing Mahabharat, I feel an emotion that I don’t want to do anything beyond that. Maybe, I don’t know.”

Earlier, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Aamir spoke about making his dream project Mahabharat and said, "You can't tell the Mahabharat in one film. So, I am looking at multiple films and we might need multiple directors if we have to plan it in a certain timeline. If we do it one after the other, it will take very long. Like they did with Lord of the Rings, where they shot all three parts together. (We'll do) something like that?"

Aamir’s next Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual sequel of his 2007 film Taare Zameen Par, is coming to theatres on June 20.
