With 'Baahubali 2' up for an April 28 release this year, SS Rajamouli has reportedly begun brainstorming on his next epic trilogy based on the 'Mahabharata.' It is said that he wishes to cater to a larger audience this year, and give it a pan India appeal. A source said, "Rajamouli is currently busy with 'Baahubali 2', but he is thrilled about 'Mahabharata.' 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."
However, this isn't the best part. The filmmaker hopes to rope in outstanding actors Aamir Khan, Rajinikanth, and Mohanlal in the film. Yes, let that seep in. With these three superstars in a single project, the trilogy will no doubt be one of the biggest hits of the century. While Rajamouli remained skeptical about working with the superstars earlier, Aamir Khan, in an event recently, expressed interest in the tentative project. He even said, "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."
Initially it was reported that the trilogy will be made with a budget of a whopping £40 million, and will be shot in three languages - Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi, simultaneously.
