After Baahubali, SS Rajamouli's Next To Be A Trilogy Based On Mahabharata?

SS Rajamouli's Baahubali shattered all the box office records when it released in 2015. Now, everyone is eagerly waiting for the second part of the film which holds the key to the cliffhanger thrown in the climax of the first film.

Now, if the latest reports are to be believed then Rajamouli is set to kick off a trilogy based on the Mahabharata. As per Mumbai Mirror, according to a source close to the development, the filmmaker, "couldn't stop raving about the Mahabharata at an event recently, admitting that he was planning a film on a huge scale, using virtual reality extensively and recreating the epic with modern graphics."

Buzz is that the film will go under scripting stage in 2018 and will be made over 5-6 years on a budget of INR 400 crore. The film is said to be shot in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi. A source further added, "This time, Rajamouli plans to cast actors from the Hindi film industry as well as South stars."

Interestingly, last month when Aamir was promoting Dangal in Hyderabad, the actor had expressed his desire to work with SS Rajamouli and had said that if the director ever makes Mahabharata, he would love to be a part of it.

He was quoted saying, "I'm 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."

Well, did Aamir just drop a hint about a collabration? Guess we will have to wait for Rajamouli to make some official announcement soon. Till then, keep watching this space for all the interesting updates.
