New Delhi: RRR director, SS Rajamouli has been nurturing the dream of making a film on Indian epic Mahabharat for a long time. If he gets down to making the epic, it will be in 10 parts so that full justice can be done it.
Earlier, Rajamouli had said that he will give a spin on the original Mahabharata in his own way. The casting part will come only after he finishes writing the script. At a recent event, Rajamouli opened up once again on his dream of making Mahabharat. He said it would take him at least a year to read every version of Mahabharat currently available in the country, Hindustan Times reported.
Asked if Mahabharat is really anytime soon in his scheme of things, Rajamouli said that’s the aim of his life. “Every film I make, I feel that I’m learning something to ultimately make Mahabharat. So that’s my dream and every step is towards that,” he was quoted as saying.
During the promotions of RRR, Ram Charan had asked Rajamouli about his dream project, Mahabharat. He also wanted to know if he will cast his RRR heroes once again. “The characters that I write for my Mahabharata will not be the same as you’ve seen or read before. I will tell Mahabharata in my own way. Mahabharata (story) will be the same, but the characters will be enhanced and the inter-relationships between the characters will be added,” Rajamouli said.
On whether he will cast Ram Charan and Jr NTR, he was quoted as saying: “I know people have made lists of who should play who in the project. But I will decide my characters only after I write my version of Mahabharata.”
