Fans of Aamir Khan can breathe easy. The actor has officially addressed the swirling rumours suggesting that he plans to retire after completing his ambitious project, ‘Mahabharata’. The speculation arose after a podcast appearance led to widespread misinterpretation of his comments, sparking panic among his followers.

'Mahabharata Is Not My Last Film': Aamir Khan clarifies

During a recent segment on Zoom’s Fan Club, Aamir cleared the air. “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 said with a smile. He explained that his earlier statement was a response to a hypothetical scenario about creating a film so satisfying that it might feel like the culmination of his career.

“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," Aamir elaborated.

The superstar urged fans to consider the full context of his remarks instead of drawing quick conclusions from snippets. His recent statements come after his appearance on entrepreneur Raj Shamani’s podcast, where he had described ‘Mahabharata’ as a deeply emotional, layered, and vast narrative. He had said, “Har cheez jo duniya me hai woh aapko Mahabharat me milegi,” reflecting his profound connection to the project.

While he admitted that the epic might provide a sense of creative fulfilment, he never explicitly said it would be his final film.

‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ Up Next for Aamir

Before delving into ‘Mahabharata’, Aamir Khan is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’. Directed by RS Prasanna and co-starring Genelia Deshmukh, the film is scheduled to release in theatres on June 20.

With this clarification, Aamir has not only reassured fans of his continued presence in Bollywood but also doubled down on his excitement for the cinematic journey ahead.
