Oscar-winner SS Rajamouli, renowned for his exceptional work in Indian cinema, including movies like RRR, Baahubali, and more, recently expressed his interest in creating a cinematic adaptation of Mahabharat. He estimated that it would take him about a year to painstakingly study every version of the Mahabharat that is now available in the nation. He also revealed a major update about the movie.

During a recent event, Rajamouli said, "If I get to the point of making Mahabharat, it would take me a year just to read the versions of Mahabharat that are available in the country. At present, I can only assume that it would be a 10-part film."

He further stated that Mahabharat is his dream, adding, "Every film I make, I feel that I’m learning something to ultimately make Mahabharat. So that’s my dream and every step is towards that."

Earlier, during the promotions of RRR, the director revealed if Ram Charan will be a part of the epic saga. He said, "I know people have made lists of who should play who in the project. But I will decide my characters only after I write my version of Mahabharata."

Rajamouli said, "The characters that I write for my Mahabharata will not be the same as you’ve seen or read before. I will tell Mahabharata in my own way. Mahabharata (story) will be the same, but the characters will be enhanced and the inter-relationships between the characters will be added."
