SS Rajamouli’s much-anticipated cinematic adaptation of the Mahabharatam is back in the spotlight.
Rajamouli recently confirmed that actor Nani will play a key role in the epic, though he did not disclose which character he will portray.
Initially, Rajamouli had envisioned a sprawling 10-part film series for the Mahabharata.
However, in a recent interview, his father and veteran writer Vijayendra Prasad revealed that the project will now be made in just three parts.
According to Vijayendra Prasad, a 10-part saga might not sustain audience excitement over time.
He also shared that work on the script is progressing steadily with a dedicated team, even as Rajamouli is currently focused on his globe-trotting adventure film starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra.
