Mumbai, June 30, 2021: Indian cinema was changed when SS Rajamouli created the world of Baahubali with Prabhas, who now become one of the hottest Indian properties in the entertainment field irrespective of the language. The Baahubali film series has raised the expectation bar high for Indian filmmakers to think for the larger-than-life cinema and push themselves beyond boundaries.
In 2017, filmmaker Madhu Mantena along with Allu Aravind, and Namit Malhotra announced that they are adapting the epic Ramayana into a live-action 3D trilogy. Since then it has been in the pre-production stage as it requires a lot of neat and clean work to take it on floors. It was later revealed that Nitesh Tiwari along with Mom director, Ravi Udyawar will be donning the director's hat for this ambitious project.
Since then, a lot of theories have been made around it about its casting, plot, among the other details. While we wait for things to be officially announced, Madhu Mantena has revealed some key details about the film and his plan to take this trilogy, which is touted to be India's biggest film ever, to the global audience.
Speaking about the project to Pinkvilla, Madhu said, "The ambition that we have for Ramayana is larger than what our country has seen. The responsibility to tell this story is so larger that it requires a lot of work. We have taken it on ourselves to make it as well as anything else in the world. We are trying to follow the process that James Cameron did for Avatar. The ambition is so larger that we are going into the minute details of everything. We need to show the world what Ramayana is and it needs to portray all the magic that Valmiki wrote. This isn't a project, it's a purpose, a purpose to tell Ramayana in all its glory to the world", he added.
Over the past year, there have been reports claiming that this trilogy will feature Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu as Ram along with Bollywood superstars Hrithik Roshan, and Deepika Padukone as Ravana and Sita respectively. When asked to comment on the same, the filmmaker neither denies nor confirms the news, but revealed that people can expect an announcement of the star-cast around Diwali this year.
"Please expect the biggest cast ever in the history of Indian cinema. You can expect an announcement of the star-cast around Diwali this year. The characters of Ravana, Ram, Sita, Laxman are larger than life. You will see actors who are the best in class in terms of performances, coming on board the film. When I say the biggest cast ever, I mean it. It's going to be really exciting", he promises.
"We will be getting the best artists from across the country. It's not about North and South, it's about unifying the country. We are doing this as India", Madhu added. Talking about the budget of the film, he says, "We don't know the budget yet, but it's going to be bigger than anything that India has seen to date. We are making Ramayana for posterity. It's not a story, which will come and go, but something that will live on forever".
It is said that over 200 artists from across the globe are working on various aspects of the film for the last 2 years. The pre-production team includes some Oscar-Winning Artists too. The film has already been mounted so high on a scale that we can't wait to experience this on the biggest possible screens.
