Summary
- Film writer Karan Razdan detailed the shelved Time Machine movie.
- The plot involved Aamir Khan traveling to the Mahabharata era.
- Producers like Karan Johar and Ramesh Taurani later considered the film.
Karan Razdan, known for his work as a filmmaker and writer, has revealed the story behind the shelved film 'Time Machine.' This ambitious project, which would have featured Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla under Shekhar Kapur's direction, generated considerable anticipation before its abandonment. The film's plot envisioned Aamir Khan's character inadvertently traveling to the past, landing amidst the Mahabharata war and encountering Lord Krishna. Razdan shared that the core inspiration for the film arose from a shared personal tragedy between himself and director Shekhar Kapur, who both lost parents within a short span.
The story further detailed how the protagonist's journey was deeply personal, driven by a desire to meet his parents, portrayed by Paresh Rawal and Rohini Hattangadi. Despite the initial enthusiasm from the cast and acclaimed musicians like Laxmikant-Pyarelal, the film was ultimately shelved. Over the years, 'Time Machine' has attracted interest from several producers, including Manmohan Shetty, Ramesh Taurani, and Karan Johar, though revival discussions did not materialize due to creative and financial disagreements.
