Shah Rukh Khan, who is currently shooting for Imtiaz Ali's next recently revealed that he wants to produce 'Mahabharata' on the scale of 'Baahubali'. Talking about this ambitious project Shah Rukh said, "It’s my dream to make the Mahabharat for the screen. It’s been for years now. But I don’t think I have the budget to do that. I would love to do it, but I don’t think I could afford to. Unless I collaborate. But not with Indian producers."
However, the actor added that considering the nature of the project he would have to collaborate with International producers. The actor further explained, "There have to be international producers on board for this one because Indian producers and Indian films have a limited market. This one has to go out into the international markets. So you have to collaborate with someone who’s international. You don’t take up a subject like the Mahabharat and make it any less. It should be on the scale of a Baahubali or an even larger one."
When asked if the project is in pipeline or would be a reality soon, Shah Rukh brushed it off saying, "I’m extremely busy. If I get there, it would be lovely to make that film. I have spoken to a few. Every second person wants to make Mahabharat. There’s nothing concrete happening yet."
