akshay kumar, ajay devgn ranverer singh, mahabharat

After Adipurush a film based on Ramayana, we now have a movie based on the mythological epic drama Mahabharat in the pipeline. Aamir Khan who had earlier shown interest in making the epic drama had later shelved the idea. But it seems producer Firoz Nadiadwala will soon be taking up the mega project. Apparently, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Anil Kapoor, are being considered for the mega drama.

Firoz Nadiadwala is known for his classic comedies like Hera Pheri and Welcome. He has decided to produce Mahabharat in a never before seen avatar. The film will also be made on a huge budget with a massive cast.
