Disney India is in plans to bring The Mahabharata, Indian mythology’s greatest epic to the big screen. And as a follow up, the Studio is gearing up to recreate the magic of this remarkable story in live action at a scale never seen before in Indian cinema. The film that would be written by renowned author Ashok Banker would be directed by Abhishek Kapoor.
Said Siddharth Roy Kapur, managing director- Disney India in a statement, “Indian mythology has a great wealth of stories which have inspired legions of creative minds and The Mahabharata unarguably is the most ambitious and all-encompassing of them all. We believe this epic which has engaged generations of Indians will translate into a magnificent silver screen saga.”
“The Mahabharata expresses the universal truth; it has defined my understanding of spirituality and of all humanity. I aim to translate this onto the big screen, engage minds and deliver a world class cinematic experience,” observed Abhishek on his part.
"There could be no one better than Disney India, with its prowess as a creative and distribution powerhouse, to narrate this epic in the manner that befits it,” he added.
For the first time in Indian cinema, a single narrative will be told across two films. The film will go into pre-production post the completion of Abhishek’s next venture Fitoor that would go on the floors in July.
