Good decision.
I dont want anyone in Bollywood to make Mahabharat. They have no respect for their craft. They only will try to churn money. They’ll not even bother to respect the epic and do justice to it. But will definitely use their PRs to start controversies to “sell” the “product” and make “profit.”
Film making is no longer an art in Bollywood. It’s all about bottom line only.
Someone who has respect for their art should attempt this, else leave it alone.

Online sleuths and self-proclaimed geniuses aka saste Youtube "roasters" ka content bhi gaya.
Thank you Aamir for sparing us on this.
Looking forward to more movies like Dangal, Rang de Basanti, 3 Idiots, Lagan from you.

Amir khan is a practicing muslim himself and you cant take that away from him. He is someone who despite getting so much love and admiration from fellow hindu indians called them intolerant.
He felt unsafe living among hindu majority and wanted to leave the country.
If so, then my question is, from where did he get the courage to touch the hindu Epic in the first place ?...Him shelving the project has nothing to do with public backlash, it in fact gives more publicity. I think his decision to shelve the project came after Tandav fiasco and sc calling out bollywood's bigotry towards hindu religion in which they keep making offensive content intentionally..had he actually wanted to make it with all honesty, he wouldve gotten full public support but backing off from it tells us he got scared knowing he cant no more get away doing what he did in pk with mahabharat. PK was funded by Pakistani sponsors. This time his funding must have come from turkey knowing his association with the rulers there. In that case how does one not question his motives behind making of something so sacred to hindus? No matter what anyone says, amir khan has been a closet bigot n has dubious connections with china and turkey, two of the most anti india countries in the world. How do you even expect people to trust someone like him is beyond me.
Bold - In his defense, it was his wife who felt that way not him, at least that’s what HE said...

Wasn’t PK directed by Hirani?
@ bold...Becoz they themselves identify as muslims only. You should check that shahrukh khan thread how all hell broke loose when someone mentioned his hindu ancestry. When they claim only their muslim side ancestry and refuse to even acknowlege that there is also hindu dna running in their blood, how do you expect people to not look them as muslim only? Why is secularism all about glorifying only one set of people and running down the others? Waise We are toh willjng to accept them as one of us but they want to be seen different and special highlighting only about being from warrior race who ruled over dirty indians. People like amir khan are still making movies depicting hindus as backwards. PK is a fine example of that. Its only fair that people question his motives when he tries to play his dirty trick again with sacred hindu Epics.
If they are actually secular and indians by heart, let them acknowlege their actual indian ancestry which is inherently hindu..that will justify theirs and yours secular claims and then they can as many mahabharats as they want. Otherwise no one is impressed with your empty lectures on secular bullcrap. Its passè...
😆 Care to name the chromosomes which make someone Hindu?
What a relief that he has shelved the project. Bollywood would have made kachra of this.
Aamir khan is a bigot, people calling him out on it are not.
Free speech card works for everyone. Calling a hypocrite for keeping mum about a religion they practice while ridiculing and criticising others is not bigotry. Its simply stating the truth.
Success of Jodha Akbar Padmavat and Bahubali has suddenly opened his eyes as well as other producers in India to the possibility of minting money with mytho fantasy genre.
He has no creativity, so there is no question of respecting his creative liberty.
A an artist is honest to his work as well as his inspiration. Rahi Masoom Raza gave us the wonderful screenplay of Mahabharat, which inspite of being plagued with distortions is still a creative work worthy of respect. He was a muslim too.
Aamir Khan is a gas bag looking at purposely creating controversy for free publicity.
He is looking at an opportunity to make money and ridicule another religion with malicious intent while doing so and when questioned use wokeness and secularism as an excuse to justify himself.
He is not getting funding for MB because he is no rajamouli, but he snarks about intolerance in the country preventing him from making the movie.
He can go to turkey with his wife and make movies on his religion there. And never return.
