Wednesday, 21st March 2018, 03:45 PM IST According to what the rumour mill is churning out, the Reliance owner Mukesh Ambani, who had recently invested in entertainment companies like Eros and Ekta Kapoor's Balaji, will co-produce superstar Aamir Khan's most ambitious film yet, the Mahabharata series, for the big screen. The source has also said that this would be a "one-off" engagement for Ambani. Mahabharata has already created much buzz in film trade circles as the budget of the franchise is flying over an Rs. 1,000 crore. This franchise is likely to comprise anywhere between three to five parts, involving multiple directors (One of them possibly being Bahubali director S.S. Rajamouli). The film is only at a pre-production/ideation stage. Sources say international writers will be brought in to sharpen Mahabharata's story-line, to appeal to a global audience. Late last year, Aamir Khan's planned magnum opus - something he has publicly spoken about as his dream project in the past - came into news, when the actor-producer had to turn down Mahesh Mathai's biopic on cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma (which is now bagged by Shah Rukh Khan), to be produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur, owing to the big-ticket series that's going to singularly keep him busy for the next few years.
