Aamir Khan keen to play Krishna on screen

Hyderabad: Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, who is known for his portrayal of a wide range of characters on screen, said that he would love to play the role of Hindu god Krishna.

"If a film is being made on the epic Mahabharat, I would like to play the role of Krishna," he told reporters.

The actor was replying to a query on ace Telugu director S S Rajamouli of 'Baahubali' fame reportedly planning to make a film on Mahabharat.

The 51-year-old actor, who is selective about his work and usually dedicates a considerable amount of time for a particular role, said that his next movie would be released in about eight months.

"They say that your film comes after two years or three years. I thought I must address that complaint. So, within eight months you will see my next film," he said.

Aamir said his look for his next movie 'Thugs of Hindustan' has not been finalised yet, but he was growing his beard and hair in the meantime.
