Mumbai, July 17, 2021: Filmmaker Madhu Mantena is planning to take the Indian cinema to the next level, and his vision can't get a better and bigger start then kicking off with Indian mythological tales. The filmmaker on Thursday (July 15) announced that he is working on India's first cinematic universe based on Indian history and Mythology.

Taking to his Instagram handle, Mantena shared a tinted red abstract photo that has a god and demon in it. The photo has 'Stories of Indian mythology' and 'Mythoverse' written on it. While sharing the photo he wrote, "Working on India's first cinematic universe based on Indian history and Mythology .. Our first film begins in Treta Yuga. 1.8 billion years have passed in this Kalpa so far..."



Meanwhile, Mantena recently opened up about his plans to make two epics, 'Ramayana' and 'Mahabharata'. While he is well aware that other filmmakers are also working on Indian epics, Mantena has promised a unique, world-class experience for all the viewers with regards to 'Ramayana', 'Mahabharata' and the Mytho-verse. "We are making it for the global audience. We want to tell these stories to audiences all across because the basic emotions are the same for everyone", he shared according to DNA.

Currently, Mantena is working on Ramayana, for which, the casting will be announced around Diwali this year. Speaking about it, the filmmaker had told Pinkvilla, "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.



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.

Other than Ramayana, Madhu is also working on 'Mahabharata', which will be told from Draupadi's point of view. Deepika Padukone is said to be playing the role of Draupadi.
