Allu Arjun in the 500 crore project Ramayana!!
Earlier in the day we had reported about a movie adaptation of Indian mythological epic Ramayana. Three producers from the south- Madhu Mantena, Allu Aravind and Namit Malhotra are investing an astronomical budget of Rs 500 crore for this magnum opus.
They are planning to make this movie as a multilingual in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Script works for the movie was kick-started nearly an year back and it will be made in three parts just like the Lord of The Rings series.
Eventhough they have not revealed details about the cast or the crew members, talks are rife that South Indian star Allu Arjun is playing one of the leads in the film. There are solid reasons to believe these reports as the actor’s father Allu Aravind is one the producers of this ambitious project.
Allu Arjun has previously acted in a period fantasy drama in Rudhramaadevi. His performance as Gona Gana Reddy in the movie won him a lot of accolades including the Filmfare for best supporting actor. Also his chiselled physique and wide popularity makes him a great choice to be part of Ramayana. Reportedly, the movie will have popular stars from all major Indian languages.
His father Allu Aravind was also the producer of SS Rajamouli’s Magadheera. One of the three producers, Namit Malhotra, owns the company Prime Focus who handled the visual effects for Hollywood biggies like Star Wars, Transformers and The Martian. Expectations are already soaring high for this project after the record- breaking success of the Baahubali franchise.
