What Baahubali has done, at massive production cost, is to reach all those spaces that were either left vacant or were just not visible to many superstars of Bollywood. Over the last couple of years or even more, many Bollywood stars had made their intentions quite clear, either co-producing own films or rolling out some low-budget flicks and then publicizing it with their star power.
Starting from Shahrukh, Salman, Aamir and Hrithik to actresses including Priyanka Chopra and Anushka Sharma, many tried their hands in film production. But, SRK’s plans for his next production is definitely a big news for aficionados of cinema. The Raees star is mulling an idea of bringing the story of Mahabharata at a large scale – as grand as Baahubali or even bigger.
To make it a reality, the Superstar actor is on a scout for a Hollywood partner who’d take the project to next level and manage to push it beyond boundaries. Sharukh is clearly against the idea of collaborating with Indian producers and he’s his own reasons for it. So, why does SRK need a co-producer? – According to the actor, he alone cannot manage to fund for the project and wants to rely on an International funder.
Although SRK is currently busy with couple of other projects where he’s playing the lead, his idea of producing Mahabharata isn’t stopping him from meeting and asking some proficient people to join him on-board.
