Acclaimed actor and producer Aamir Khan has often spoken about his long-held dream of making a film on the Mahabharat. And Khan recently confirmed that he is putting together a team for the same.

Speaking during a media interaction ahead of his birthday on Thursday, Khan said, "We are just starting with the writing process. We are putting together a team. We are still fleshing out stuff, so let's see how that goes."

The actor had earlier told Galatta Plus that he was a little scared to make the movie, "When you are making a film on Mahabharat, you are not just making a film. You are performing a yagya. It is not just a film, it is so much more. And, that is why I am not ready for it yet. I am scared of bringing it out. Mahabharat will never let you down, but you may let down Mahabharat.”

Khan also said that he, director Rajkumar Santoshi and Salman Khan have been talking about a sequel to their cult classic, Andaz Apna Apna. The topic was brought up during Khan's birthday bash.

Aamir Khan, who turns a year older on March 14, last appeared in the Forrest Gump remake, Laal Singh Chaddha, which failed to connect with the audience.
