Ace director SS Rajamouli’s latest statement on making the much speculated and highly expected magnum opus ‘Mahabharata’ is contradicting his father and writer Vijayendra Prasad’s earlier statement.
Prasad, who has penned almost all the stories of the films directed by his son, has during the promotions of ‘Srivalli’ claimed that Rajamouli would make Mahabharata on a never before imagined scale. Movie lovers obviously got excited with his statement as that Hindi epic is the perfect material to make India’s biggest film and that Rajamouli is the most able and visionary director to make such epics.
The ‘Baahubali’ director however has shocked the film fraternity and film lovers by clarifying that he wasn’t planning to make ‘Mahabharata’. Speaking to national media, he reportedly quoted, ‘I just said that my dream is to make Mahabharata but I am not planning to make it now. It will be a long time to get to that.”
Rajamouli shouldn’t be blamed for causing this huge disappointment to fans as he had been stating time and again that he wasn’t having the requisite expertise to make ‘Mahabharata’ and that he would think of making it probably after a decade. Some people close to him have allegedly made fans believe that he was going to make Mahabharata next.
Adding further, Rajamouli said that he hadn’t yet started work on his next project and that he was enjoying the break.
Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu confirmed that he had been in discussions with Rajamouli and that a project would materialize in near future. Possibility of a film with Ram Charan can’t be ruled out. As of now, Rajamouli keeps everyone guessing.
