Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva is said to be the most budgeted film in Bollywood. Now, it seems that soon another film is going to take over this title from the movie. Yes, read it right! Firoz Nadiadwala is planning the epic Mahabharata for the big screen on a budget of Rs 700 crore. Earlier, A G Nadiadwala produced Mahabharata now his son Firoz Nadiadwala is coming up with a different version of Mahabharata. The film is said to be released by December 2025.
According to a report, “Firoz Nadiadwala has started work on Mahabharat and aims to make it the most visually stunning film ever in Indian cinema. The work on the script has been going on for 4-5 years and the makers would spend a couple of years more on the pre-production. The principal photography will commence in the first quarter of 2025. It’ll hopefully be released in December 2025 in the original Hindi language and would be dubbed in several languages too.”
Furthermore, the source added, “The entire tale of the Mahabharata will be conveyed in three hours. Firoz Nadiadwala is confident that it would be India’s answer to Marvel and DC movies and also that of The Lord of The Rings, Game Of Thrones, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc. Believe it or not, its budget is expected to be more than Rs. 700 crores. Thus, it’ll be the biggest Indian film of all time.”
When the source was asked about the casting of the movie then he replied, “The actors being considered are Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Paresh Rawal, Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, etc. It’ll be interesting to see who’ll end up playing which part. The makers are looking at casting both established and new heroines too, as well as top actors from the South industry for important parts. The hunt for a director is also underway.”
The source added, “The 1965 Mahabharata film was a huge success at the box office. Firoz and his team are following a similar story and format which was there in that movie. Most of the action would be real, along the lines of Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, etc, and not VFX-heavy. More than the VFX, Firoz wants the selling point of the film to be the characters, storytelling, emotions, dialogues, etc.”
Sharing more details about the film, the source revealed, “The background score will be recorded in Los Angeles, USA and it’ll be grand and cinematic, like the BGM given by Hans Zimmer. A top-class company, also from Los Angeles, will work on the VFX.”
The source completed his information by saying, “Mahabharat is the biggest story ever told in the history of mankind as it depicts the best of emotions, romance, treachery, cheat, action, sorcery, magic, and above all, it instills the spiritual teachings of Lord Krishna. The tagline of the film would be ‘Right Over Might’. It’ll have huge battle sequences and has great potential for music. It’ll also have a great impact on the gaming and merchandising industry. But the best part is that in today’s times when the world is facing different kinds of problems, it would advocate peace and reaffirm that there’s always a way to resolve everything through non-violent means and dialogue. It’ll push and reinstate India’s faith and belief in spiritualism and kindness throughout the world.”
If the reports are to be true Mahabharat will be the first Indian film to be shot in 5D!
