A pan-India film on the 'Mahabharatha' is all set to be made on a budget of £100 million, based on the MT Vasudevan Nair's novel 'Rendamoozham'. The movie will star Mohan Lal in the lead role and will be made in multiple languages. Another film on the same theme is being made in Kannada, and has been titled 'Kurukshetra'. The film involves stalwarts of the Kannada film industry and will feature Dharshan as Duryodhana, Ravichandran as Karna, and senior actor Ambareesh as Bhishma.
Recent sources revealed that the team is currently in talks with female superstar Nayanthara to play the role of Draupadi. Makers confirmed that the talks are on but the actress is yet to give a nod to the project. Nayan had earlier played Sita in a Telugu-Tamil bilingual film 'Sri Rama Rajyam', based on another Indian epic Ramayana.
