Aamir Khan isn’t rushing his next big move. After a quiet spell post Laal Singh Chaddha, the actor has finally shared a concrete update on what’s long been rumoured: his ambitious attempt to adapt the Indian epic Mahabharat for the screen.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Aamir confirmed he’s ready to begin early work on the project this year though fans shouldn’t expect a quick rollout. “The writing alone will take years,” he admitted, hinting at the scale and complexity of the plan. What he envisions isn’t a single film, but a sprawling multi-part series, inspired by the structure of The Lord of the Rings.

Rather than centring himself as its hero, Aamir is stepping into the producer’s seat first. Whether or not he’ll act in it remains undecided. Casting, he says, will be entirely dependent on what each role demands. “It’s not about who I want, it's about who fits” he explained.
As for directing? He’s not holding on to that either. “Telling the Mahabharat in one film is impossible. It needs to be done in parts, probably with multiple filmmakers,” he said, acknowledging the need for varied perspectives to do justice to the epic’s depth.
This isn't a sudden decision. Aamir has been circling this dream for years. Back in 2018, reports claimed he exited the Rakesh Sharma biopic to focus on Mahabharat, then rumoured to cost over £95 million (₹1000 crore). But by 2022, he was still unsure. Speaking then, Aamir explained that making the film was not just a cinematic task, but a deeply personal and spiritual commitment.

For now, he’s keeping things grounded. He knows the expectations. He knows the pressure. And he’s in no mood to cut corners. “This isn’t just another project,” he said, “It’s one of my biggest dreams.”
In the meantime, Aamir will return to screens with Sitaare Zameen Par, a thematic follow-up to his 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par. Directed by RS Prasanna, the film stars Genelia Deshmukh and reunites him with Darsheel Safary. It’s due to release in June 2025.
So while Mahabharat is still years away, Aamir Khan is finally setting the wheels in motion slowly, thoughtfully, and on his own terms.

Jason Ralph fuels speculation over Rachel Brosnahan marriage after controversial Instagram activity
Rachel Brosnahan marriage speculation grows after Jason Ralph’s controversial Instagram activity
Highlights
Rachel Brosnahan’s husband, actor Jason Ralph, is at the centre of a heated social media debate after he liked a provocative Instagram comment about her on-screen chemistry with Superman co-star David Corenswet. The online reaction has been swift, with fans speculating whether his action was a subtle dig, a careless mistake, or simply a misunderstood joke.
The comment in question accused Brosnahan of crossing boundaries with a co-star and suggested Ralph should “stand up for himself” and “leave her.” Within hours, screenshots of Ralph’s ‘like’ were circulating across Reddit, X, and Instagram gossip pages. Soon after, Ralph disabled comments on his posts, but by then, the digital trail was impossible to erase.
When did Rachel Brosnahan and Jason Ralph get married?
Brosnahan and Ralph first met while working on the indie film I’m Obsessed With You in 2013. After several years of dating, the pair quietly tied the knot—so quietly, in fact, that the public only learned about it years later.
In a 2019 interview, Brosnahan revealed that she had been wearing her wedding ring for some time before speculation began, adding:
“We’ve been married for years and been together for even longer. We had a good laugh when the news came out that we had just got married like, ‘Happy six-month anniversary, honey!’”
The couple’s decision to keep their marriage private was intentional. Brosnahan explained that she disliked the double standard in media coverage, where she was constantly asked about her relationship while Ralph was not.
Have they worked together professionally?
Yes. Ralph appeared alongside his wife in the hit series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, joining in seasons four and five as Mike Carr. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Ralph praised Brosnahan’s leadership on set, saying:
“She’s just the best, and I feel very lucky to see her command a set like that.”
Their collaboration was warmly received by fans, and until now, the couple has maintained an image of mutual respect and professional admiration.
What did Jason Ralph ‘like’ on Instagram?
The controversy began when Ralph liked a comment on one of his posts that read:
“It’s genuinely sad to see your career being tucked out to be remembered as a cuckold because your wife couldn’t handle herself with her co-actor. Like bro, let’s have some self-love and stand up for yourself, leave her to be with him if she wants that much.”
The remark, widely interpreted as targeting Brosnahan’s scenes with David Corenswet in Superman, was seen by many as insulting and sexist. Fans immediately questioned why Ralph would engage with it at all.
Was it intentional or a mistake?
Social media reactions are split. Some argue that it was likely an accidental double-tap, noting that Ralph’s Instagram activity is minimal and sporadic. Others believe it was deliberate, citing his history of dry humour and occasional trolling behaviour online.
Regardless of intent, the timing has amplified speculation. Brosnahan’s chemistry with Corenswet has been heavily discussed since the film’s release, and this incident has only fuelled more rumours about their personal lives.
What’s next for the couple?
Neither Brosnahan nor Ralph has publicly commented on the incident. Given their preference for privacy, it’s unlikely they will address the speculation directly. Still, with screenshots continuing to circulate, the story has already left its mark on fan discussions around the couple. Whether the Instagram ‘like’ was a slip of the finger or a calculated move, it has put an unusually public spotlight on one of Hollywood’s most private marriages. For now, the internet is left to debate: accident, sarcasm, or subtle message?
