Aamir Khan’s ambitious project Mahabharata not shelved?

A couple of days ago, rumours were swirling around that Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan has stopped pursuing his dreams of making a multi-million film on Indian epic, Mahabharata. However, if reports are to be believed, the project is still in the pipeline.

A well-placed source reveals that Aamir wants to start work on the project after doing proper research. He has also asked his manager Advait Chandan, who directed Secret Superstar (2017) for his production house, to do the groundwork.


“Aamir knows the amount of pressure and risks that will come attached with the film. He wants to make it after doing proper research. So he has asked his manager Advait Chandan to do the groundwork and only after that is complete, will he check if he has enough material to go ahead with the project. Meanwhile, he will reportedly be seen in the Gulshan Kumar biopic that will go on floors soon after Thugs Of Hindostan releases.”

Buzz has it that the project will be mounted on a whopping budget of ₹ 1000 crores. Initially, there were reports that business tycoon and Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani was ready to invest money in the making of the film. However, no official confirmation was made by anyone associated with the project.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
