Chinese company to back Aamir Khan’s ‘Mahabharata’?
Aamir Khan’s much talked about ambitious project ‘Mahabharata’ is rumoured to be getting financial backing from a Chinese company.
The Asian Age reports that the Chinese company has expressed interest in co-producing the film. Khan has already had ample success in the Chinese market with dubbed versions of his hits ‘Dangal’ and ‘Secret Superstar’.
A source told the publication, “Mahabharata is an epic with stories about families that will be entertaining to Chinese audiences as well. A few Indian production houses and film companies have already signed treaties with their Chinese counterparts, and a series of collaborations can be expected in the days to come. And who better than Aamir to spearhead a big-budget Bollywood flick co-produced by a Chinese company? If people in both countries watch it, it will be a multi-billion dollar grosser.”
