“Not My Last Film,” Says Aamir
“I never said Mahabharat would be my last film. I was asked which film could make me feel like I’ve done it all and need nothing more — and I mentioned Mahabharat. That ‘if’ was lost in translation,” Aamir explained.
He added, “Material-wise, Mahabharat has the emotional depth, scale, and grandeur that could leave me feeling artistically fulfilled. But I never said I’d quit after that.”
