"It's my dream to make Mahabharat, and I will start working on it after the release of Sitaare Zameen Par on June 20. I feel like that’s one project which, once I’ve done it, might leave me with the feeling that there's nothing more I can do after that. Because the material is like that — it's layered, emotional, vast in scale, and full of grandeur. Everything that exists in the world can be found in Mahabharat."
