Why did Mukesh Ambani give Rs 1000 crore to Aamir Khan?

It seems like Aamir Khan is all set for his most ambitious project, the Hindu tale of Mahabharata to bring it alive on screen again. According to sources, India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani will co-produce this project with Aamir and gave him Rs 1,000 crore to start this project.

Aamir had earlier told a leading magazine, "My dream project is to make the Mahabharata but I’m afraid of starting the project as I know it will consume at least 15-20 years of my life." It will be a dream come true for him if the project gets completed.

Meanwhile, the report further suggests that Mahabharata will be made in three to five parts and buzz is that international writers are likely to be roped in to pen the epic storyline in order to give it a global appeal.
