Ram Charan-Allu Arjun team’s 500 crore project Ramayana will be a trilogy
We had earlier reported about plans to translate the Hindu epic Ramayana to silver screen. Three producers from the south- Madhu Mantena, Allu Aravind and Namit Malhotra are investing a whopping budget of Rs 500 crore for this magnum opus.
According to trustworthy reports, Ramayana will be made in 3D format. It will be made as a trilogy just like the Lord Of The Rings series. Ramayana will released in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil languages.
The franchise will have leading stars from all the major Indian languages. Eventhough the makers have not yet revealed any details about the cast or the crew members, speculations are rife about South Indian stars Allu Arjun and Ram Charan playing major roles in the movie.
Allu Arjun’s father Allu Aravind is one the producers of this ambitious project. Ram Charan also belongs to the ‘Mega’ family and hence chances are high for such a casting.
Namit Malhotra, one among the three producers, owns the VFX company Prime Focus who handled the visual effects for Hollywood biggies like Transformers Star Wars, and The Martian.
Following the huge success of the Baahubali franchise, many such projects are being planned in Indian cinema. The cinematic adaptation of MT Vasudevan Nair’s novel Randamoozham has already been announced. This magnum opus titled as The Mahabharata, will be made at an astronomical budget of Rs 1000 crores. Mohanlal is confirmed to play the central character of Bheeman while Nagarjuna has been approached to play the role of Karnan. The project will go on floors in September next year and will release in 2020.
