The 47-year-old actor has even thought that he will play the character of Lord Krishna in it.

“I want to make the Mahabharata. It’s my dream and a nightmare too. It will take 20 years of my life to work on such a subject. I am apprehensive about it because people complain that I take three years to make a film,” he said on the sidelines of Agenda Aaj Tak’s session ‘Dil Chahta Hai’. “I actually wanted to play Karna because he is my favourite.

I am not a political person because I have no interest in politics. I strongly feel that I should contribute for a social change through my craft,” he said.

But with this, I don’t lost my hope to do something for my society. I will definitely bring the second season of the show.”
