After the massive success of ‘Baahubali’, the standards of the Telugu film industry have gone up to a new level.We have seen several producers announcing movies based on our Indian epics – Mahabharat and Ramayan after the success of ‘Baahubali’.
One among them is Mega producer Allu Aravind who dreamt of making Ramayana on a grand scale.
Allu Aravind even officially announced a three-part film that tells the story of our epic mythology with a budget of Rs.1500 crore along with two other Bollywood producers- Madhu Manthena and Namit Malhotra.‘Dangal’ and ‘Chichchore’ fame Nitesh Tiwari was roped in to direct this gigantic film while Hrithik Roshan was expected to play the role of Lord Rama.
The latest news coming from the film circles is that this prestigious project has been shelved as of now due to an ongoing crisis.It is also being heard that since the economics have changed completely after the Corona pandemic, the market value for these kinds of big-budget films has come down and it is a big risk to produce such a humongous project.
On the other hand, Prabhas’s new film ‘Adipurush’, in the direction of Om Raut has also been announced which is said to be based on Ramayan and it is revealed that Prabhas will play Lord Ram.So there is no point in making another film on the same lines when a superstar like Prabhas is attempting the same with a budget of over Rs.400 crores.
