Indian
filmmaker
Prakash
Jha
has
a
dream
project
Draupadi,
in
which
he
wants
to
cast
Hollywood
star
Angelina
Jolie
in
the
lead
role.
After
the
success
of
Raajneeti,
which
was
inspired
by
the
great
Indian
epic
Mahabharata,
Jha
is
ready
for
another
movie,
which
will
also
be
based
on
the
same
epic.
Draupadi
is
believed
to
be
a
dream
project
of
Prakash
Jha.
Earlier,
the
filmmaker
wanted
to
work
on
the
project
with
the
once
Bollywood
queen
Madhuri
Dixit
in
the
lead.
But
the
project
got
shelved
due
to
budget
issues
and
lack
of
authentic
adaptations.
The
glorious
success
of
Rajneeti
has
revived
his
dream
project
once
again
and
now
he
wants
to
make
Draupadi
in
English
with
an
international
cast
and
crew.
And,
the
news
is
that
Jha
wants
to
cast
Anjelina
Jolie
for
the
title
role.
Speaking
to
the
media,
Jha
stated,
“I
have
been
planning
to
make
Draupadi
for
so
many
years,
which
will
be
my
ultimate
tribute
to
womanhood.
My
first
choice
was
Madhuri
but
now
I"m
planning
to
make
it
an
international
film.
I
want
to
make
the
film
a
grand
epic
with
an
international
cast
and
huge
budget."
Jha
added,
“My
Draupadi
would
be
set
in
the
mountains
so
the
actors
should
have
an
exotic
look.
In
Peter
Brooks"s
adaptation
of
the
Mahabharata
on
stage,
you
can
see
Mallika
Sarabhai
with
exquisite
features." We
can
expect
a
modern
and
foreign
Mahabharata
from
the
filmmaker
now!
