The team is currently in Ramoji Rao Film City where bulk of the shoot will be held.

RS Vimal has scripted ‘Mahavir Karna’ based on the Indian epic Mahabharatha. The movie will be a retelling of Mahabharatha from Karnan’s point of view. Since Vikram’s lead character Karna is a warrior, the actor has already started working for it. He is developing a ripped physique besides training in horse riding and other related activities.

Apart from Karna, Mahabharatha has space for several other prominent characters. The makers have already confirmed that some top stars from Indian cinema and Hollywood will be part of the cast. If reports are to be believed, a global launch will be held shortly where the cast and crew will be officially announced. A New York based production house United Film Kingdom is investing over Rs 300 crores for this film.
