“Baahubali: The Conclusion” is undoubtedly one of the most awaited movies of the year and the wait for it will end on 28th April, 2017. However, it is rumored that director SS Rajamouli is already working on the idea of his next magnum opus. Yes, you read it right! It is said that he is planning to make a movie based on the epic Mahabharat and it will be a trilogy. Most probably its shooting will start in 2018 after finishing the script work.
SS Rajamouli wants to deal in a subject which can appeal to the whole India and as per a source,
“Rajamouli is currently busy with Baahubali 2, but he is thrilled about Mahabharat. He wants to take Aamir Khan, Rajinikanth and Mohanlal on board for this project. He is yet to decide on the characters these stars will portray.”
If this happens in reality, it will be the first time that three such great actors will come together for a movie. These three are not just magnificent actors but they also provide a guarantee of the movie being a blockbuster.
It is also being reported that the budget of the trilogy will be Rs. 400 crore and it will be made in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, simultaneously. Earlier, Rajamouli had his apprehensions about working with superstars as it is not easy to get their dates and time but after the success of Baahubali, we are sure that every superstar will be more than ready to work with Rajamouli.
Just recently, Aamir Khan also expressed his desire to be a part of Rajamouli’s Mahabharat. In his words,
“I am a huge fan of Rajamouli’s work and if he ever plans to make Mahabharata, I’d love to play Krishna or Karna. I might actually go with Krishna.”
In fact, in 2015, before Baahubali, Rajamouli wanted to make a movie with Mohanlal which was based on a story related to Mahabharat and he wanted to cast Mohanlal as Bhima and name of the movie would have been Garuda. However, that didn’t happen and the flick was never made.
Let’s just wait for the official announcement from Rajamouli and we really hope that we get to watch these three superstars together in his movie.
