Producer Bobby Bedi, who collaborated with Aamir Khan in the big budget Mangal Pandey, missed out on the actor's wedding on December 28 due to a family commitment.

But he is already thinking about his new film with Aamir. And the film will be based on the Mahabharata.

 Jazz for Mr & Mrs Khan

Bedi has put together a panel of scriptwriters to research on the epic. It will be directed by Mani Ratnam.

"I have spoken to both Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan a year ago But I am in no position to tell you that whether one or both will feature in the project. It is still too early to talk about it," says Bedi.

Though it is rumoured that Rani Mukerji will play Draupadi in the Rs 3 billion project, Bedi is non-committal. "I have not spoken to the female star cast as yet," is all he says.

And when will the shooting begin? "Nothing can be said at the moment," Bobby replies, adding. "I will revert to you when the stage is set for doing so."
