Several weeks ago, it was officially announced that the film 'The Mahabharatha' would be made based on veteran Malayalam writer M.T.Vasudevan Nair's 'Randamoozham'. The story has been narrated from the perspective of Bheema the second among the five Pandavas and hence Mohanlal will be playing the character of Bheema in the film. It was also announced that the film will see the participation of many pan Indian actors and technicians.
Now it is almost confirmed that Tollywood star Nagarjuna who has also acted in popular Tamil and Hindi films will be playing the role of Karna in 'The Mahabharatha', which will be directed by popular Ad Filmmaker V.A.Shrikumar Menon.

Nagarjuna has confirmed in a recent media interaction that he has been approached by Vasudevan Nair to play the character of Karna which will be one of the main roles in the story. Nagarjuna said he can share more details once the projects shapes up.

It is also strongly rumoured that Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan and Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan are in talks to play other important roles in the project. We will have to wait for official confirmation.

This magnum opus on the great Indian epic is touted to be the costliest Indian film with an estimated budget of Rs.1000 crores. The film has been scheduled to go on floors by September 2018.
