Filmmaker Anand Gandhi, best known for 'Ship of Theseus' and political board game 'Shasn, is busy creating the transmedia universe of 'Maya' with game designer Zain Memon and hopes that one day Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan stars in the film iteration of his story.

Gandhi gave a glimpse of 'Maya', which will encompass novels, graphic novels, games and films, with the launch of the novel 'MAYA: Seed Takes Root' recently.

"One long due collaboration is with Aamir, though he has not confirmed it. He knows such a thing ('Maya') exists and it's a hope that he will come and participate in this world. I hope this will be the project that we finally work on together. There has been a desire for collaboration for many years," Gandhi told PTI in an interview.

He added, "I've been telling him about 'Maya' from the time we conceived it; he was one of the first actors to hear about it. I hope I can seduce him at some point to come and act in it."

Gandhi revealed that his former wife and 'All We Imagine As Light' star Kani Kusruti is on board as one of the producing partners of the project. She will also act in it, he added.
