Everyone seems to think that S S Rajamouli has already made his dream film. But Baahubali is not the film that Rajamouli wants to define his career with.
He has his heart set on making a marathon epic based on the Mahabharat. And he will cast all his favourite actors from Andhra Padesh and Mumbai in what promises to be the baap of Baahubali.
Everyone from Amitabh Bachchan to Rana Daggubatti is expected to feature in the cast.
Sources say Rajamouli had slowed down with his plans of doing the Mahabharat after he heard of Aamir Khan’s planned project, a web series based on the Mahabharat.
But then Aaamir chickened out, for reasons that were more political than creative, leaving the coast clear for Rajamouli to strike.
While Rajamouli won’t reveal any details as yet, sources say his version of Mahabharat would feature Mahesh Babu in a pivotal role. This would be Mahesh Babu’s debut into Hindi cinema, as Rajamouli’s Mahabarat would be in multiple languages, Hindi included.
Rajamouli’s Mahabharat would be bigger than any film ever made in India.
