When will Megastar Mammootty’s Karnan start rolling ?

A movie on the historical character of Karnan has been a dream for many Indian filmmakers. Many directors have went on record about their dream to work on a project based on the character from Mahabaratha.

For Malayalam cinema audience the wait came to an end when RS Vimal who earlier made the romantic blockbuster Ennu Ninte Moideen announced that he will be doing a movie based on Karnan with Prithviraj as the lead.

Soon after that actor-writer P Sreekumar announced that he is also doing a similar project based on Karnan’s life with Mammootty playing the epic character. He said that he has been working on this project for years and the movie will be directed by critically acclaimed filmmaker Madhupal.

P Sreekumar said that the script is in its finishing stages and they will soon announce the rest of the details. But there has been no official word from Mammootty’s side as of now.

Mammootty has not mentioned about the movie in any event or media interactions. Cinema lovers of the state have been waiting ever since for an official word from the actor’s side.

In between, Mammootty has also signed for new projects with Ranjith titled Vamban, a movie with Akhil Paul and another with 7th day fame Shyam Dhar.

Rumours have been doing the rounds in social media about the project being dropped because Mammootty felt that there will be an unnecessary competition and comparison between the two movies.

Meanwhile, makers of Prithviraj starrer Karnan have started their pre-production works. They have announced that the movie will be based on a grand scale with a budget of 300 crores. If the announcement is true, then Karnan will be among the most expensive movies ever made in Indian cinema.

Let’s hope for an official announcement from the Megastar’s side so that we will be privileged to see two of the best actors in South India portraying the same character but in their own trademark style.
