There
was
much
buzz
around
Aamir
Khan's
desire
to
bring
alive
the
Indian
epic
Mahabharat
on
celluloid.
The
actor
was
reported
to
have
been
working
extensively
on
the
same,
which
he
even
considered
being
one
of
his
dream
projects.
However,
fans
who
have
been
waiting
with
bated
breath
for
more
developments
on
the
project
may
be
in
for
a
disappointment,
as
the
3
Idiots
actor
has
now
decided
to
shelve
the
project.
A
source
close
to
Aamir
Khan
revealed
to
Bollywood
Hungama
that
the
actor
cannot
afford
to
devote
two
years
of
his
life
to
make
a
web
series.
For
the
unversed,
Mahabharat
was
supposed
to
be
presented
as
a
web
series
for
the
viewers.
The
source
added
that
at
present,
Aamir
needs
to
be
associated
with
a
big-budgeted
film
that
will
be
helmed
by
a
reliable
director.
The
source
also
specified
that
the
idea
for
shelving
the
project
was
not
just
commerce-based
and
that
there
were
several
other
factors
considered
before
taking
the
decision.
The
source
went
on
to
say
that
making
Mahabharat
would
have
also
invited
unsavoury
controversies.
Thus,
Aamir
Khan
felt
that
working
on
the
project
currently
might
not
be
the
right
choice.
Notably,
Aamir
had
also
walked
out
of
the
ambitious
Rakesh
Sharma
biopic
to
focus
on
the
project.
Meanwhile,
Aamir
is
gearing
up
for
his
upcoming
film,
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
which
is
also
one
of
the
most
awaited
films
of
this
year.
We
had
earlier
reported
that
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
will
be
wrapping
up
its
final
schedule
in
Kargil
between
May-June
this
year.
A
source
close
to
the
Aamir
Khan-starrer
had
shared,
"The
team
is
waiting
for
the
snow
to
melt
so
that
the
team
can
go
ahead
and
shoot
the
Kargil
war
sequence
in
the
month
of
May-June.
This
sequence
is
of
great
importance
to
the
film's
plot." The
cast
and
crew
of
the
film
is
waiting
for
the
conditions
in
Kargil
to
become
better
for
a
smooth-sailing
shoot.
The
movie
will
also
be
starring
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
in
a
pivotal
role
and
will
be
helmed
by
Advait
Chandan.
The
movie
is
the
Hindi
adaptation
of
the
Oscar-winning
film,
Forrest
Gump
starring
Tom
Hanks
in
the
lead
role.
