Talking to his sister’s husband Dr. AV Guruva Reddy, Rajamouli said that if he ever decided to make a film on Mahabharata, he would like to film the entire Mahabharata in 10 different parts.
He said- there are many different versions of Mahabharata in our country. It will take me at least a year to read them all and if I ever make a film on Mahabharata it will be in 10 parts. This is the idea in my mind to make a film on Mahabharata.
Rajamouli has said in earlier interviews that making a film on the epic is his dream project. Rajamouli said at the event- Whenever I make a film, I feel like I am learning all this to make a film on Mahabharata. To do something big, it is very important to learn from small steps. Every film of mine is a small effort towards making a film on Mahabharata.
Earlier in a conversation with Ram Charan, Rajamouli had told that the content and characters of his Mahabharata would be completely different from the way we know the setting and characters of Mahabharata today. Rajamouli had said – The way I will present my characters in Mahabharata, you would not have seen or heard this before anywhere.
I also have a similar vision of the Mahabharata. I will tell you the story of Mahabharata in my own way. Neither the story will change, nor its characters, but I know how to present these characters and how to show the connection between them on screen.
