Yes, you read that right! According to our sources, after Dangal, Aamir Khan will be seen in Mahabharata which will probably be the biggest motion picture made in India.

A source close to the film revealed:

"Aamir Khan has wanted to make Mahabharata since a long time and he has been in talks with Mel Gibson for the film. Mahabharata will be backed by a big Hollywood studio and will go on floors early 2017."

The source further added, "The team has started the pre-production and set designing long back. The script is already locked and Aamir Khan will soon officially sign the dotted lines. Mel Gibson has plans to rope in a few more actors from India in the epic saga."

Most of the film will be shot at a studio in the US and a US-based VFX Company will work on the visual effects of the film. This would be Gibson's second attempt in directing an epic war saga after 1995 Hollywood classic, Braveheart.
