Throwback Tuesdays: When SRK dreamed of making a film on Mahabharata on larger scale than Baahubali

Bollywood king Shah Rukh Khan is known for his dedication – always striving to be his best, even in small cameos or commercials. He’s also a huge admirer of good work, which is one reason he’s so respected.

Interestingly, Khan once dreamed of making a grand Mahabharata movie, even bigger than the Baahubali films. But the project hasn’t materialized yet, possibly due to the massive budget required.

Shah Rukh Khan said in an interview in 2017, “It’s my dream to make the Mahabharata for the screen. It’s been for years now. But I don’t think I have the budget to do that. I would love to do it, but I don’t think I could afford to. Unless I collaborate. But not with Indian producers. There have to be international producers on board for this one because Indian producers and Indian films have a limited market.”

Shah Rukh Khan says his dream Mahabharata movie is on hold due to his busy schedule. He’s spoken to international producers interested, but nothing is confirmed yet.
