Aamir Khan, Rajinikanth and Mohanlal to unite on the big screen for SS Rajamouli’s Mahabharat
While Baahubali 2 is up for an April 28, 2017 release, last month it was reported that SS Rajamouli has already started brainstorming on his next which will be an epic trilogy based on the tale of Mahabharat.
While Baahubali 2 is up for an April 28,
2017 release, last month it was reported that SS Rajamouli has already
started brainstorming on his next which will be an epic trilogy based on
the tale of Mahabharat. The film we hear
will most likely hit the floors in 2018 after the scripting of the
story. Now BollywoodLife’s source reveals that SS Rajamouli is toying
with the idea and as he wants to cater to the large audience and in
order to give it a pan India appeal. Our source said, “Rajamouli is
currently busy with Baahubali 2, but he is thrilled about Mahabharat. He
wants to take Aamir Khan, Rajinikanth and Mohanlal on board for this project. He is yet to decide on the characters these stars will portray.”
Now, that will definitely qualify as the biggest casting coup by any filmmaker, and Rajamouli will be the first filmmaker to have such stalwarts under one project, if only everything goes as per his conviction. With Aamir Khan, Rajinikanth and Mohanlal in one film, it would be like the best of three worlds coming together. Not only these three superstars are huge crowd pullers when it comes to their respective box office, but are actors par excellence.
Earlier it was also reported that the trilogy will be made with a budget of a whopping Rs 400 crore. It will be shot in three languages — Telugu, Tamil and Hindi — simultaneously. The makers are planning to rope in stars not only from South cinema, but also from the Hindi film industry. But as we know Rajamouli, he likes to work at his own pace and is a perfectionist in that sense. While Rajamouli was a little skeptical about working with superstars earlier coz he requires their undivided time and dates, looks like after Baahubali’s success Aamir, Rajinikanth and Mohanlal, would not really mind investing their precious time and efforts in the filmmaker’s magnum opus project.
In fact, Aamir Khan at an event recently had expressed interest in Rajamouli’s Mahabharata and even added that he’d like to be a part of the film as Karna or Lord Krishna, he said “I am a huge fan of Rajamouli’s work and if he ever plans to make Mahabharata, I’d love to play Krishna or Karna. I might actually go with Krishna.”

That’s not all, a few years ago before Baahubali released buzz was that Rajamouli was planning a film, Garuda with Mohanlal. The filmmaker is a huge fan of the Malayalam actor and wanted him to play the lead character of Bhima in this movie that was set in the backdrop of Mahabharata. But that was way back in 2015, things have of course changed now. Rajamouli has himself spoken about his interest in visiting the epic Indian story and Aamir Khan too has hinted he’d like to work with the filmmaker and play Krishna. With our sources suggesting that Thalaiva and Mohanlal are being considered, looks like we might sooner or later hear a formal announcement confirming these rumours. Stay tuned to BollywoodLife for more such gossip and scoops.
